By Scakk on Jan 16, 2009Completely redid it as the previous site , which did work , never updated and gave the same horoscope everyday. I have since altered it to get the one from the NewYork Post. It still uses the previous site for retrieving the dates the sign covers.
Usage: !horoscope sign
Update: Jan 18th 2009: Added $lower($2) in the trigger event. Added the dates the sign covers in the script.
Update Jan 18th 2009: Completely redid it to use a site that actually updates the horoscopes.
Update Jan 29th 2009: Had to redo it again as the site decided to not work at times.
Update Feb 11th 2009: Redid it yet again using another site as previous site altered the location of the stuff to much.
Update Sep 14th 2011: Redid entire script as site changed, yet again....

[11:20] Sign & Dates: 12Libra @ 12 September 23rd - October 22nd Today: 12September 14, 2011
[11:20] Quickie: 03 Appreciate the smaller things in life -- even clouds in the sky deserve your notice.
[11:20] Overview: 03 Your love life can run on autopilot for the time being -- you need to focus all this social energy on other people! Old friends, colleagues, customers, family and more all need your attention now.
I just tested it and it works fine. Perhaps the site was down for some reason.

[15:45] Quickie: 03Stay focused on the important things in life -- if it's not fun, it's not right.
[15:45] Overview: 03Your home life could use some shaking up, and while that's not exactly fun, it is still vital. Make sure that your family or roommates get the heads-up so you don't take them by surprise.
um the snippet seems to be working fine for me

<&Sick0> Sign & Dates: Virgo (8/23-9/22) Today: Monday, August 16, 2010
<&Sick0> Quickie: You're in a holding pattern right now. Wait until there's an opening and then move.
<&Sick0> Overview: Your curiosity isn't of the cat-killing variety, so go exploring and see what you come up with. It's a safe bet that your life gets a lot more interesting as a result. Inspire friends to do the same.
<~napa182> !horoscope Aquarius
<&Sick0> Sign & Dates: Aquarius (1/20-2/18) Today: Monday, August 16, 2010
<&Sick0> Quickie: Some private information is in danger of being divulged today -- plug up the leaks.
<&Sick0> Overview: Your working life is seeing a boost today, though it may not feel like one at first. In fact, you may be tempted to storm out of the office -- or interview -- but patience pays off in a big way.
Works great, thanks!

[13:47] <~exHelp> Quickie: Be patient and avoid temptation. What seems like a sure bet won't pay off.
[13:47] <~exHelp> Overview: Try not to worry to much about the past -- you need to focus on your vision of the future. It's a really good time for you to step up and enlist the aid of those who are sympathetic to your cause.
