HOROSCOPE

To allow us to focus on reporting the news, some aspects of our paper are purchased from other sources, such as our horoscopes, and are put together a few weeks in advance. Some of the comments in the horoscopes may include suggestions that contradict current health advice to socially distance yourself or self-quarantine. This is because the horoscope predictions were made prior to these health decisions.
