Daily Horoscope

Today's horoscope says:

Few things in life are more exciting than gossip, and you are going to get some of the juiciest news today!
The information you get could be more incendiary than you realize, so make sure you don't share it too quickly.
Spreading this kind of dirt at full speed could land you in hot water.
You need to be careful and go slowly.
Wait until you know the coast is clear before you start spilling the beans.
Otherwise, you could get a reputation as someone who can't keep secrets.

That will never happen.
