Fish’s Totally Unqualified AstroForecast
Week of June 16 – As Divined by the Sacred Pint Glass
Greetings, celestial drifters. I’m Fish—Sockman’s sidekick, spiritual lawn bowls champion of East Croydon, and your reluctant guide through the flaming tumble dryer of fate.
This week, the stars have aligned in the shape of a spilt curry and a forgotten sock. Interpret that as you will. I already have.
Let’s take a swerve through your star signs, one unwashed pair at a time.
♈ Aries (Mar 21–Apr 19)
Planetary Mood: Aggressively flammable
You’re charging through the week like a drunk stag at a wedding. Midweek brings a surprise emotional revelation or a flat tyre. Possibly both. Either way, take it out on a bowls green—quietly, but with rage.
Ale pairing: A turbo-charged IPA with “regret” in the name
♉ Taurus (Apr 20–May 20)
Planetary Mood: Heavy, earthy, stuck in its ways
You’re trying to remain calm, but your boss keeps using the word “pivot.” Resist the urge to pivot them into a hedge. Friday brings good fortune, probably in the form of free snacks.
Sock forecast: One argyle, one black. Mismatch. Roll with it.
♊ Gemini (May 21–Jun 20)
Planetary Mood: Chaotic good, with wi-fi issues
You’ll have four brilliant ideas, two breakdowns, and a text from your ex. Only one of those things is worth replying to, and it’s probably the idea about starting a podcast about haunted pubs.
Bowls tip: This week, aim left and drink right.
♋ Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 22)
Planetary Mood: Moist. Emotionally and literally.
You’re nesting again. Possibly in someone else’s flat. Be careful not to confuse “romantic moment” with “passive-aggressive casserole.” Big sock energy incoming Thursday—don’t fight it.
Lucky object: A deeply sentimental tea towel with a questionable stain.
♌ Leo (Jul 23–Aug 22)
Planetary Mood: Neon roar with a mild ego rash
You’re feeling bold. Loud. Slightly overcooked. Use your power wisely—maybe stop announcing your entrance like a WWE wrestler every time you enter the pub.
Metal album of the week: “Thunder Naps and Kitchen Fights” by BeardFang
♍ Virgo (Aug 23–Sep 22)
Planetary Mood: Spreadsheet with anxiety
Your house is clean. Your thoughts are not. Midweek sees a moment of perfect clarity, followed by someone spilling Ribena on your emotional boundaries. Just breathe. And mop.
Ale pairing: Something craft, sour, and quietly judgmental
♎ Libra (Sep 23–Oct 22)
Planetary Mood: Trying too hard not to choose a curry
You’re balancing everyone else’s nonsense like a pro—but who’s balancing yours, eh? Treat yourself to a solitary lawn bowls session under a full moon. Or just yell into a sock drawer. Same effect.
Fashion tip: A kimono over pyjamas counts as “eccentric glamour.”
♏ Scorpio (Oct 23–Nov 21)
Planetary Mood: Brooding with lightning effects
People are watching you this week. Not in a bad way. But also… maybe in a bad way. Be mysterious, but not weird. Actually, never mind—just wear leather and ignore everyone.
Lucky number: π (but only the first three digits)
♐ Sagittarius (Nov 22–Dec 21)
Planetary Mood: Firecracker in a beer tent
You’re restless. Inspired. Mildly feral. Don’t book a spontaneous trip unless it includes socks and a toothbrush. Or at least know someone who owns a tent. Preferably a Fish.
Philosophical truth of the week: All paths lead to kebabs.
♑ Capricorn (Dec 22–Jan 19)
Planetary Mood: Fiscally exhausted
You’ve made a to-do list. Burn it. Then write another, identical one. You’ll still ignore it, but now it’s performance art. Big romantic developments Thursday—possibly with a tax auditor.
Power snack: Cold lasagne eaten with purpose
♒ Aquarius (Jan 20–Feb 18)
Planetary Mood: Experimental, slightly damp
This week you’re feeling unhinged in a sexy way. Run with it. Invent something. Protest something. Break up with your air fryer. You’re electric and unstable, like a toaster in a thunderstorm.
Fish says: Be the chaos. But remember to floss.
♓ Pisces (Feb 19–Mar 20)
Planetary Mood: Dreamy + highly suggestible
You are sensitive. You are powerful. You are also 93% vibes and 7% oat milk. Be gentle with yourself. Avoid exes, unlabelled containers, and mirrors after 2 a.m.
Lucky escape: You narrowly avoid buying another scented candle. Well done.
🪐 FINAL COSMIC WORD FROM FISH:
This week, the universe is not so much “guiding you” as it is “pointing vaguely and shrugging.” Your destiny may be written in the stars, but mine’s written on a pub napkin next to a drawing of a goat wearing Crocs.
Stay alert. Stay loud. And if you find a sock behind your sofa—leave it there. It’s cursed.
