Your H-Files for Monday, 22 December 2025

Aries

March 21 - April 19

You seem distracted, Mulder. Is there another spontaneous theory brewing in that mind of yours, or have you just read something particularly enlightening in the paper today?
Actually, Scully, I just read my horoscope and it's practically a call to arms. It says quick decisions are the key today and that I should let beauty be my compass. It’s almost as though the universe is giving me a cosmic nudge to follow my instincts - like when I convinced you to chase that trail of bioluminescent fungus in Oregon.
Mulder, you can’t seriously believe that the stars want you to make impulsive choices. You do realize that career advancement isn’t achieved by acting on every whim you get, right?
This isn’t about whims, Scully. It’s about harnessing what the horoscope calls Aries energy - the warrior’s heart. But get this: it specifically says not to use it for destruction, but for creation. Maybe that’s just what we need right now - a bold, creative approach to break the deadlock in the Donnelly case.
Or perhaps it’s telling you to take a step back and think things through. The horoscope also talks about Earth grounding impulsiveness. That sounds suspiciously like a suggestion for strategy rather than hasty action.
You’re not wrong. Courage and discipline, Scully - career matters benefit from both. Maybe it’s time we reconsider that lead in accounting, the one I rushed to dismiss. There could be beauty in the details, just waiting to shine through.
So instead of you dragging me off to another muddy field in the middle of nowhere, your horoscope is actually advocating for paperwork and patience. I have to say, Mulder, I approve.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

You look particularly cheerful today, Mulder. Did you win the office lottery or are you just enjoying the mellow haze from too much coffee?
Actually, Scully, it's something larger than mere caffeine. I just read my horoscope and it says there's a steady glow warming my day, gilding all my interactions. Apparently, I'm meant to see the divine in every connection - and frankly, it makes me think differently about our work. Maybe even Skinner will seem angelic today.
Mulder, I hope you realize those horoscopes are about as scientifically rigorous as the latest viral psychic on late-night radio. Next you'll be telling me your creativity flows like honey and that it's suddenly your moral guide.
Actually, yes, Scully! The stars advise me to let beauty be my compass. Which might explain why our last case - remember that bizarre tableau in the woods - felt less like an investigation and more like an invitation to find meaning in the patterns. Maybe the cosmos really does guide us.
Or maybe your optimism is just arm-wrestling your classic anxiety again. Honestly, Mulder, you don't need celestial validation to know that's always happening. The real trick is acknowledging both, just like you always do when you argue about government conspiracies and alien DNA.
Ah, but the lunar influence is strongest with Earth signs right now. Which, according to the stars, means financial and career plans are advancing steadily. So if I put in patient effort, our work - our 'quests' - could finally yield those lasting results we've been chasing since our first assignment. Maybe this is the turning point we’ve been waiting for.
Mulder, if you’re trying to use astrology as an excuse for your latest expenses claim or that stack of mysterious files on your desk, you might want to remember the Bureau prefers hard evidence over planetary alignments. But if the stars promise patience, I suppose I can wait and see if this glow of yours lasts past lunchtime.

Gemini

May 21 - June 21

You're unusually chipper today, Mulder. Something happen on the drive in or did you just get an increase in your sunflower seed allowance?
It's funny you should ask, Scully. I just read my horoscope this morning. Apparently, versatile vibes are supposed to shape my day. Which means every encounter, even the ones with Skinner, could be divinely significant.
And let me guess, you’re taking career advice from your astrological forecast now? Are the stars telling you who to trust in your next wiretap?
Actually, yes. It said my creativity will flow like honey, and I should let beauty guide me. So if you see me rearranging the evidence board into a mandala, just let me finish. I’m blooming, Scully - a rose rebelling against its trellis.
Or maybe you just need to stop turning every constraint into a government conspiracy, Mulder. How exactly do you see this ‘blooming’ working out for us? Last time you followed your ‘gut’, we wound up staring at a glowing green slug for six hours.
Ah, but the horoscope said the trellis - the slug, if you will - was actually support, not just constraint. Maybe that slimy little friend was helping us, not hindering. And get this: It mentioned mental agility and clarity in business communications. I’m thinking we should streamline our reports to Kersh. Keep it to the facts, make quality connections. You know, for inner transformation.
That ‘inner transformation’ had better include finishing your expense reports. Otherwise, our only connection will be to missing paperwork. But if you want to channel golden light and see divinity in every meeting, you’re buying the first round of coffee.

Cancer

June 22 - July 22

You look unusually contemplative this morning, Mulder. What's on your mind? Another unexplained phenomenon?
Actually, Scully, I just read my horoscope. Apparently, 'soft emotions are guiding my rhythm' today. And it says my optimism and anxiety are having an arm-wrestling match at a metaphysical table.
Horoscopes now, Mulder? Are you really suggesting the movements of celestial bodies are dictating how you’ll interact with the world today?
Why not, Scully? After everything we've seen, a little astrological guidance seems tame. The real point is that I should acknowledge both my hope and apprehension. Like when we investigated those twins - optimism for answers, anxiety about the truth. It made the connection richer.
That sounds a lot like basic self-awareness to me, Mulder. No need to credit ancient superstitions for introspection.
But there's more. The stars say there's a 'golden light gilding my relationships' - I should see the divine in every connection. Maybe that's why I keep arguing for open minds, Scully. There’s beauty in believing, even if that gets me called a romantic.
If you start seeing literal golden light around people, Mulder, please let me know so I can schedule an MRI. Otherwise, you might just be grateful you value your relationships. No star chart required.
But don’t you feel it, too? The horoscope says creativity is supposed to flow like honey today. Maybe this means our case files will find new connections - beauty points the way, not just cold hard facts.
Creativity is always useful, but I'd still rather follow the evidence - and so should you, horoscope or not.
One more thing - the lunar influence. It claims my ambitions and need for emotional security are finally aligning. Like I can be both an FBI agent and good to the people I care about. Maybe that’s the real X-File: work-life balance.
Only you could turn a horoscope into a government conspiracy and a therapy session at the same time, Mulder.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

Scully, can you believe what my horoscope said this morning? It claims I've got the heart of a warrior beating with solar fire, and that my daily routines are about to be gilded with golden light. Apparently, the universe wants me to harness my primal Leo energy - but only for creation, not destruction.
Mulder, are you actually letting a newspaper astrology column dictate your day now? Last time you listened to a prediction, we ended up chasing a psychic through a carnival.
That was different. This is cosmic. Look - the horoscope also says creativity will flow like honey and that beauty should be my guiding principle. Maybe that means something. Maybe it's a sign we're supposed to look for patterns, not just facts.
Or it could mean that you haven't had breakfast yet and you're projecting your blood sugar on the stars. And Mulder, even if your routines are 'gilded,' I'll believe it when I see your desk organized for more than five minutes.
But the lunar influence says I need discipline to channel my creative fire, and that leadership through competent authority will get me recognition. Maybe that's why Skinner keeps calling us in about those structured case files. Coincidence, Scully? Or prophecy?
It sounds more like confirmation bias to me. And you might want to remember the last time we trusted in 'cosmic guidance.' We ended up running from bees with slightly less than competent authority in charge.
Still, don't you think there's something almost divine about the connections we make on these cases? Maybe that's what the horoscope means about seeing the divine in every relationship. Even the ones with mysterious informants in parking garages.
If you start lighting candles and chanting for artistic recognition in the basement, I’m calling the Bureau shrink. Golden light or not, Mulder, let's just focus on what we know - and maybe keep the solar fire out of the evidence locker this time.

Virgo

August 23 - September 22

You look unusually contemplative this morning, Mulder. Dare I ask what's on your mind?
I'm just saying, Scully, sometimes you have to rebel against the trellis to reach your full potential. My horoscope practically said so - constraint might actually be the support I need for my next evolution, especially at home.
So now you're getting life advice from a column next to the Sunday comics? I'm assuming this has nothing to do with us needing to organize evidence from last weekend's case.
Organization is key! The stars are aligning - Earth sign mastery, Scully. Meticulous efforts, measurable results. If I color-code those files and finally vacuum my apartment, maybe I'll unlock the secrets to the universe. Or at very least, keep the Lone Gunmen from mocking my sock collection.
Mulder, the only thing standing between you and a clean apartment is you, not the moon or Saturn retrograde. As for creativity flowing like honey, I suppose you’ll be composing your reports in iambic pentameter now?
Not a bad idea, Scully. The horoscope also said to let beauty be my compass and to see the divine in every connection. Maybe if we approach the next bureaucratic runaround with a golden aura, Skinner will finally let us expense a decent printer.
Right. The divine in every connection. If your new cosmic outlook involves you actually meeting deadlines, then maybe there is something to this 'gilded relationship' concept after all.
Now who's sounding mystical? Maybe you’re an undercover Taurus - earthy, meticulous, and always ruining my theories with hard-edged rationality.
Or maybe the universe just wants you to do your laundry, Mulder.

Libra

September 23 - October 23

You look like you've seen the light, Mulder. What's got you so contemplative this morning?
Funny you should ask, Scully. According to my horoscope, today golden light is supposed to gild my relationships. I’m supposed to see the divine in every connection. Honestly, it kind of makes our endless paperwork seem… cosmic.
Cosmic, Mulder? Is this like that time you swore the vending machine was communicating with us telepathically, or is there actually solid evidence this time?
You joke, but the horoscope says my creativity is going to flow like honey and that I should let beauty be my compass. Maybe I should start using color-coded file folders, or add some daffodils to the office. Apparently, it’s going to especially impact my home life - ever think the old fish tank was trying to tell me something about domestic tranquility?
If your fish start glowing or rearranging themselves in sacred geometrical patterns, I’ll look into it. But I wouldn’t rely on astrology to improve your interior decorating skills, Mulder.
But listen to this - ‘the rose rebels against its trellis; what feels like constraint may be the support allowing your fullest bloom.’ That’s basically the definition of our job, Scully. Maybe the bureaucracy is the trellis, and we’re the roses. So when Skinner hands us another mountain of case files, it’s just his way of helping us blossom.
By that logic, the basement office is practically a greenhouse. Are you also going to tell me the lunar influence is the reason you keep calling the Lone Gunmen at three in the morning for professional advice?
Well, the horoscope does say my professional relationships will thrive if I balance career demands with social grace. Maybe I should’ve sent Frohike a thank-you card after that last stakeout.
I’d settle for you balancing business aesthetics with function before professional grace - beauty and the beast, Mulder-style.

Scorpio

October 24 - November 21

Scully, you ever experience a day when you feel like something cosmic is stirring beneath your skin? Because according to my horoscope, I'm supposed to have a 'dark glow' igniting my day, and frankly, I think I feel it.
Mulder, you just spilled coffee on your tie. If that's your definition of a dark glow, then maybe, sure. But if you're taking horoscopes seriously again, I hope you've learned from last time.
No, Scully, this is different. Today I'm apparently harnessing primal Scorpio energy - not for destruction, you'll be glad to hear, but for creation. My heart supposedly beats with solar fire. Maybe that's why I feel so compelled to dig into that new case file on my desk.
Primal energy, Mulder? Or just another caffeine rush? And as for creation, the last time you claimed you were 'creating' something, you pinned two dozen red strings across the entire office. The janitors are still recovering.
There's more, Scully. It says my communication style is undergoing a transformation under this 'golden light' - I should see the divine in every connection. Maybe this is exactly what I need to finally crack that elusive witness. Or maybe it's cosmic psychic residue from that time we encountered the woman who seemed to channel people's dreams.
Or maybe it's the result of you believing people channeling psychic energy when they're actually skilled at reading micro-expressions. Mulder, communicating better doesn't require a horoscope - just listening, which, incidentally, you sometimes neglect.
But Scully, creativity is supposed to flow today, like honey. The horoscope practically commands me. Let beauty be my compass. I think I should approach our work differently. Maybe look at the unexplained with... more reverence.
That sounds nice, Mulder, but the next time a mutant parasite tries to crawl into my body, I don't think reverence will help. Maybe determination will - your horoscope does mention that.
Exactly! Determination meets transformation - career reinvention, psychological insight. Maybe it's finally my day to break through the Bureau's glass ceiling of skepticism. Did I ever tell you about the time I almost convinced Skinner we were dealing with an actual shapeshifter?
Yes, Mulder. And you had to attend a very long seminar about credible field reporting practices afterward. Let's stick to good investigation. If your horoscope helps you focus, great. But remember - evidence before enlightenment.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

You look awfully pensive, Mulder. Did you have another late night with The Lone Gunmen, or is something else on your mind?
Actually, Scully, it's my horoscope this morning. Bold horizons beckon my soul. Apparently, golden light is gilding my relationships. Maybe it's a sign to embrace every cosmic connection, even the unexplained ones.
You know horoscopes are just vague statements crafted to make everyone feel special, right? Golden light, Mulder? Next you'll be telling me an extraterrestrial is responsible for your newfound creativity.
Stranger things have happened, Scully. Remember that time the evidence pointed to something beautiful hidden beneath the surface? The horoscope says to let beauty be my compass - maybe that’s the universe nudging me to see the wonder in every lead instead of defaulting to skepticism.
Or maybe it's just suggesting you look for beauty in the mundane instead of hunting conspiracy at every turn. I take it your values - and resources - are being affected? Are you planning to bet your savings on the lottery now, Mulder?
No lottery tickets, Scully. The stars also say my optimism and anxiety are supposed to arm-wrestle. Maybe the real case here is that both have a place at the table. I mean, isn't that what makes our work effective? Your skepticism and my…let’s call it optimism.
I'd call it something else, but sure, let's go with optimism. And how does the moon factor into this cosmic quest of yours?
Lunar influence - vision gets practical structure, Scully. So maybe today I actually organize those paper files from our most, let's say, 'unorthodox' cases. Or maybe finally take that online course on deciphering crop circle patterns.
If this horoscope gets you to finally clean your desk or submit the expense reports, I might start reading them myself.

Sagittarius

December 22 - January 19

Scully, you ever get the feeling the universe is trying to nudge you onto a path of higher consciousness? According to my horoscope, bold horizons are beckoning my soul. It even mentioned golden light gilding my relationships. Maybe it’s a sign we’re supposed to see the bigger picture in every connection. Even the ones that seem impossible to explain.
Mulder, I’m going to assume you’re not talking about that crop circle conference again. Are you sure your optimism about cosmic guidance isn’t just your anxiety trying to find meaning in everyday events?
That’s just it, Scully - the horoscope says my optimism and anxiety are locked in an arm-wrestling match! I can’t just ignore that kind of insight. Maybe it means I can finally appreciate both sides of my instincts without overanalyzing. Like when we disagreed about what really happened in Bellefleur - the truth needed both perspectives.
And does your daily dose of astrology suggest that creativity will help us solve federal cases now? Or are you intending to use 'beauty as your compass' when we’re tracking down a suspect?
Well, it does say creativity flows like honey, so maybe next time I follow those wild hunches, you’ll see they aren’t so far-fetched. Besides, this beauty compass could’ve come in handy in that case with the killer bee swarm.
Mulder, practical structure and discipline are what solve real-world mysteries. Lunar influences or not, I hope you’re planning to pair any 'optimistic planning' with evidence. That’s the only way to get answers, not enlightenment by starlight.
Maybe so, Scully. But if the stars want to align with my career plans for a change, I’m not about to argue. Maybe this is the month we finally catch a break - and maybe, just maybe, you’ll see the beauty in the unexplained.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

Mulder, why do you look like you just decoded one of those messages from the Smoking Man?
Scully, I just read my horoscope, and apparently, today I’m supposed to be an innovator - a veritable Agent of Change. The rose rebels against its trellis. It’s basically telling me that what feels like constraint is what’ll actually help me bloom.
So, you’re telling me that our bureaucratic red tape is your spiritual trellis? I’m sorry, Mulder, but I don’t think a horoscope can explain why AD Skinner denies our requisition forms.
No, Scully, you don’t understand. The horoscope says the ‘golden light’ is supposed to guild my relationships today. Maybe Skinner’s notorious scowl is just a misunderstood sign of affection. Or maybe the Lone Gunmen are actually angels in disguise - divinity in every connection.
That’s a generous interpretation. But I doubt that Hackers International counts as divine intervention. And what exactly do you mean by creativity is flowing like honey? Are you planning to break protocol again?
Think bigger, Scully - this isn’t about breaking protocol, it’s about using beauty as a compass. Next time we’re knee-deep in unexplained bioluminescent goo, maybe we should let aesthetic instincts guide us.
I’ll stick to lab results over aesthetics. And what about this lunar influence? Is the moon telling you how to run your next meeting?
Actually, yes. The lunar vibes say that tradition and innovative planning are converging. I’m expecting someone higher up - maybe Kersh, maybe even someone from ‘the council’ - to finally support our weirdest case yet. Structure balanced with vision: it’s the new order, Scully.
If you find the structure behind those visions, let me know. Until then, I’ll be over here with my microscope - and a healthy dose of skepticism.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

You seem unusually contemplative this morning, Mulder. Is there a reason you’re staring off into space, or do I need to check if you’ve been abducted again?
I was just reading my horoscope, Scully. It says a 'dreamy tide lifts my path.' Like maybe I’ll finally find a lead on those missing files - assuming the tide brings them in instead of washing them away.
Mulder, you do realize horoscopes are ambiguous at best. They’re meant to be interpreted as generally applicable - much like mysterious tides in your life.
But listen: it claims my optimism and anxiety are arm-wrestling, and that the real trick is letting both coexist. Kind of like when I half-expect the next strange phone call will be life-changing, but also anticipate an internal affairs investigation.
Or perhaps it just means you should acknowledge both hope and skepticism. Isn’t that just emotional maturity - rather than cosmic prophecy?
Maybe, but it says my social connections are affected. Maybe I’m destined to finally win over Skinner... or at least get a less cryptic email from the Lone Gunmen for once.
I wouldn’t hold my breath on either of those, Mulder. What’s this about 'navigating by starlight in a fog'? Do you honestly think stars will guide you out of our paperwork backlog?
Why not, Scully? Progress isn’t always about moving fast - it’s about trusting your inner lighthouse. Maybe that’s why I’ve never let go of certain beliefs, no matter how thick the fog gets.
And I suppose your inner lighthouse interprets every unexplained phenomenon as a sign? Speaking of structure, your horoscope says discipline supports creativity. Maybe that’s a hint you should organize your files for once.
Touché. The lunar influence says spiritual practices benefit from routine. Should we schedule regular visits to that psychic in Georgetown? Or maybe just our standard autopsy-and-alien-theory routine.
I’ll stick to science, Mulder. But I suppose if it helps you face the next ‘dreamy tide,’ I can play along - as long as the tides don’t require a written report.
