Scully, this morning's horoscope says my pioneering instincts are about to take the lead. I think that means I shouldn't just trust the accepted explanation next time we see something - unusual.

I mean, it does say reality is optional today. And there's a lunar influence too - sea hares, apparently. Did you know sea hares squirt ink to disorient predators? Maybe that's how I'm supposed to handle our next brush with the Syndicate. Out-fox, out-ink.

Exactly. The horoscope also warns of mood swings, so if I'm toggling between ruling the world and wondering if anyone likes me, don't be alarmed. It’s just cosmic turbulence.

That's practical, Scully. You never know when you'll end up half-dressed on the side of a backroad trying to explain your emotional vulnerability to a local sheriff.

Not quite, Scully. I just read my horoscope and, honestly, it explains a lot. Apparently, there's some 'quiet force' shaping my journey today. Sounds a bit like that time with the psychic children in Virginia, don't you think?

According to this, my emotions and ego are having a sleepover, which would explain why I felt invincible in the morning, but then started doubting if Skinner actually likes me. It says I should bring snacks - do you have any sunflower seeds?

It also claims my social connections will be affected - I might be psychic or maybe just paranoid. Ring any bells? I mean, I did predict Frohike’s weird behavior last week.

But Scully, get this: under 'Lunar Influence,' it says, 'the manatee hugs the submarine.' Clearly, that’s symbolic of forbidden love breaching emotional depth. Or maybe it means we should open ourselves to impossible connections - like that time... well, you know.

Scully, I just read my horoscope. It says a playful breeze is stirring my soul today. You can’t ignore the metaphysical implications of that.

It specifically warns of arguments and advises me to choose my battles wisely. I can’t help but think about how every time I try to share the truth - like that time in Oregon - I end up fighting with everyone, even you. Maybe this horoscope is onto something.

But Scully, it also talks about struggling between indulging and wanting to fit into my clothes. Tell me that doesn’t connect - haven’t you noticed the vending machines at headquarters seem particularly sinister? Maybe there’s a greater conspiracy at play.

It even mentions career ambitions and social connections. Remember how we had to maneuver through Bureau politics, never knowing who to trust? How can I ignore cosmic advice that lines up with everything we face on a daily basis?

But Scully - the horoscope says the cuttlefish writes in smoke and truth lasts only as long as the current. Clearly, it’s a metaphor for how fleeting evidence can be, just like when we were chasing that shapeshifter in Pennsylvania - nothing stays solid for long.

Scully, I read my horoscope this morning and it was disturbingly accurate. It said my gentle instincts are guiding me right now, that emotions and ego are having a sleepover in my psyche.

Just hear me out. It also warned about mood swings - one minute feeling like I could control the world, the next questioning whether anyone even likes me. That explains a lot about our last foray with Skinner's report.

It said this would influence what I believe and how I learn, Scully. Said I'd be caught between thinking I'm psychic and just being paranoid. Isn't that the story of my life?

But here's the clincher - the horoscope mentioned a lunar influence, something about a whale's song cracking a glacier, and that what’s frozen must eventually weep. Remember what happened in Alaska, Scully? Sometimes the impossible evidence needs the right vibration to reveal itself.

Maybe you should. If my horoscope’s right, we'll need them before the day is over.

Scully, I just read something that's totally going to dictate the course of my day. Apparently, my horoscope says I'm going to be oscillating between feeling like an all-powerful ruler and questioning whether anyone actually likes me. It's no wonder - I'm surrounded by so many secret agendas. Maybe the Syndicate members are sending out bad vibes again.

You know what else it said? 'Emotions and ego are having a sleepover.' Does that sound at all familiar to you? I feel like that describes every time I see Spender skulking around headquarters.

Actually, snacks are encouraged by the horoscope, too. I think I’ll bring sunflower seeds for emotional support. But here’s where it gets really interesting - 'reality is optional.' Scully, reality has always been optional. I’ve been saying that for years.

And another thing - the lunar influence mentions a lionfish. Beautiful, venomous, defensive. Remind you of anyone you know? Or maybe some of the cases we’ve had - those with beauty and danger so intricately intertwined.

Scully, have you ever woken up and just known it was going to be one of those days when your sense of structure defies all odds? My horoscope practically demanded that I act like a responsible adult today. I think the universe might finally be aligning in my favor.

You know me, Scully, open mind and all that. But get this - it said my relationships would be tested today, something about arguments and choosing my battles wisely. Makes you think, doesn't it? Maybe the cosmos is warning me to be careful around certain skeptical partners.

That’s just it - the forecast practically encouraged me to lean into the weirdness, even to let the arguments happen for our own amusement. It feels almost nostalgic, doesn’t it? Like when you and I had to debate the existence of invisible entities in those quarantined woods.

Consider this, Scully: the nautilus, that paragon of geometric precision, forgets its sense of order and just unravels. Spirals out beautifully, unpredictably. Maybe there’s something to be said for letting go, just for today. Maybe we could investigate what happens to methodical minds when the ordinary rules stop applying - even your rules.

Funny you should ask, Scully. I read my horoscope this morning - it said I’m uplifted by harmonious energy, and that I woke up as a responsible adult. I have to admit, I did make my bed for the first time in, well, years.

That’s precisely why today may be different. Apparently, this rare surge of adulting will help me with my daily routines. I might even skip the sunflower seeds at lunch. It’s a cosmic chance to fit into my old suits - before it wears off, clearly.

That’s the struggle, Scully - the horoscope says indulgence and discipline are at war. Like the betta fish, apparently, I’m locked in conflict with my own reflection. Makes you wonder if Deep Throat ever consulted the lunar influence before handing over a classified file.

Not quite, Scully. I just read my horoscope, and let me tell you, there's some serious cosmic turbulence happening today. Apparently, a deep power is stirring and arguments are on the horizon. It said I should choose my battles, but where's the fun in that?

You have to admit, the universe always throws us into arguments whether we want them or not. Creative pursuits are at stake here, Scully! My emotions and ego are apparently having a sleepover. It’s no wonder I oscillate between feeling like I’m onto some world-shattering truth and then suddenly doubting whether Skinner will even sign off on my reports.

Hey, snacks are a scientific necessity when navigating cosmic chaos, Scully. Besides, the horoscope compares surviving this day to the hagfish tying itself in knots. Survival is a slippery art. Remember that warehouse in Oregon? It took a little knot-tying of our own to get out of there alive. Maybe there’s more to the lunar influence than meets the eye.

Scully, I'm just preparing for the emotional odyssey my horoscope warned me about. Apparently, today I'm being fueled by 'expansive energy.' I need to be ready for the mood swings between 'I rule the world,' and 'Does anyone even like me?' Snacks are crucial.

I can't rule out the blob sentience theory, Scully, especially after seeing what happened to Agent Pendrell in the lab last week. But look – it says this will especially affect my home life. Maybe that's why my apartment keeps rearranging itself. Or the fish tank keeps bubbling even when it's unplugged.

You're missing the cosmic connection, Scully. The horoscope says reality is optional today. That's practically carte blanche for the unexplained. If gravity forgets the devout, then maybe it's time to revisit those photos of levitation from the X-File you debunked in 1994.

Scully, I woke up feeling... different. Like I’m suddenly occupying the body of a responsible member of society. I even considered making my bed. I think it’s a sign.

Hear me out. My horoscope said a 'resolute heart' is driving my way. Apparently, it’s a day for taking charge and - get this - responsible adulthood. I almost paid my bills before I came to work, Scully!

The stars - well, the sturgeon, actually - say I should be careful communicating today. Arguments will be had. Choose my battles wisely. Maybe it’s a cosmic warning about debating you over forensics in the autopsy room.

Don’t ignore the lunar influence, Scully. The sturgeon is carrying 'river runes,' ancient wisdom in mute flesh. Maybe that’s what I need - wisdom that doesn’t talk back.

Only if I get to blame the moon and mysterious aquatic creatures for my behavior. I mean, it’s at least as plausible as alien mollusks or a psychic twin, isn’t it?

Scully, it’s uncanny. Today’s horoscope said ‘Progressive will lights your path.’ Doesn’t that sound like the universe nudging me toward new revelations? Then I woke up feeling like an actual responsible adult. Isn’t that bizarre? Maybe I’m finally maturing into my next phase.

No, listen - my horoscope says my values and resources are in flux. That’s right in line with how I’m questioning the nature of our work and the evidence we collect. Should I trust my instincts, or stick to rational methods? I’m swinging between confidence and existential crisis here, Scully.

Ha - very funny. But get this: the horoscope mentions a ‘bio-luminescent squid alien light.’ Tell me that doesn’t remind you of those mysterious flashes we saw off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. Maybe there’s meaning to our investigations beneath the surface - literally and metaphorically.

But Scully, that’s the thing. Sometimes the universe - whether through horoscopes, squid, or unexplained phenomena - tries to light the path when we least expect it. Maybe today is the day we finally uncover a truth both of us can believe in. Would you pass me those snacks just in case the existential crisis hits again?

Not this time, Scully. I just read my horoscope and it says reality is optional today - which, let’s face it, explains a lot. Apparently, I'm being guided by intuitive energy. Maybe those voices I hear are just heightened perception, not paranoia.

Nice try, Scully, but what if being psychic just looks like being paranoid to everyone else? Remember that time with Modell - the lines got blurred between what was real and what was just suggestion. Maybe I’m tapping into something greater.

But think about it, Scully. The horoscope talked about personal expression and wanting to indulge but also fit into my clothes. Doesn’t that remind you of how we’re always tempted by the truth, but have to wear the uniform of reason to keep our jobs?

Maybe, Scully. But maybe the goldfish remembers the ocean. What we’ve lost still shapes who we are - like all the things we can’t explain. In any case, thanks for confirming I am, in fact, wearing pants.
