Your H-Files for Wednesday, 18 February 2026

Aries

March 21 - April 19

You look unusually contemplative, Mulder. Dare I ask what’s prompting that look?
Scully, I just read my horoscope and it says 'thrilling action marks my rhythm.' I can’t help but wonder if that means the universe is ready for me to stumble onto another vast conspiracy - maybe something involving those two luminaries merging. Remember the time we saw the lights over Bellefleur? Maybe those weren’t just lights but signs guiding my path.
I think the only lights guiding your path are the ones you try to chase at two in the morning. Mulder, you usually pride yourself on following evidence, not planetary alignments. Are you really suggesting a horoscope is going to dictate your investigative strategy now?
It’s the symbolism, Scully! The merging of my inner flame with the 'tides of feeling' - it’s a cosmic synergy. Maybe my intuition is finally catching up with my famously erratic decisions. The horoscope even says it’s the perfect moment to plant seeds of intention 'in the fertile dark.' That sounds suspiciously like digging up lost truths, or maybe uncovering evidence in places others are too afraid to look.
Or it could mean you should spend more time double-checking your facts than chasing lightning bolts. As for those 'seeds,' I recommend you plant them in a peer-reviewed journal instead of a shadowy forest. And what does it say about your social connections - are you about to interrogate everyone in the Hoover Building again?
Social connections, Scully - maybe it means I’ll finally convince Skinner to increase our travel budget. But did you catch the part about 'lightning striking the foundation?' Maybe all those things we took for granted - like the Bureau’s trust, or what constitutes solid ground - aren’t so stable after all. Maybe I need to expect surprises.
I wish I had a dollar for every time you tried to convince me the ground was shifting under us, Mulder. Perhaps your horoscope just means you shouldn’t wear rubber-soled shoes in a thunderstorm. And what about this talk of lunar influence and water softening your 'fiery edges?' That sounds suspiciously like you should spend some time in quiet reflection before you start seeing alien messages in the stars.
Scully, if water softens my edges, maybe it’s your scientific skepticism gently tempering my wild hypotheses. Intuition guiding direct action - that’s how we solved plenty of cases. And inspired spontaneity benefited us the night we tracked the shapeshifter in Alaska, didn’t it?
Perhaps, but I remember it was careful investigation and a fair amount of backup that saved us in the end. If your creative projects need inspired spontaneity, I suggest you start with next week’s paperwork rather than the paranormal. Still, I appreciate the heads-up - if I see you staring at the moon and talking to yourself, I’ll know your horoscope told you to.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

Scully, listen to this - 'a serene pace defines your day.' That can't just be a coincidence, can it? I managed to avoid Skinner's paperwork avalanche this morning. The universe is trying to tell me something.
Mulder, the only thing the universe might be telling you is that you forgot to check your inbox. Again. Can I see what horoscope you're reading?
Hang on, there's more: 'The heart overflows its banks, nourishing every relationship it touches.' It’s practically saying the bonds we make - our partnerships - are resonating on a higher frequency today. Maybe that's why Frohike tried to hug me earlier.
Or maybe you're just easier to hug when you haven't been up for 48 hours theorizing about government conspiracies. 'Tonight, love is your native language' - are you planning to wax poetic at the next autopsy, too?
Come on, Scully! Two luminaries embrace in the sky, merging my inner flame with the tides of feeling. That could explain the way I felt when I saw those lights over Bellefleur. Connection - on a cosmic level!
Mulder, those 'luminaries' were helicopters from the National Guard. And as for your 'inner flame,' maybe have a snack. Hypoglycemia can do strange things to people.
But it's a sacred moment, Scully! The horoscope says it's time to plant seeds of intention in the fertile dark. Maybe the next step in our investigation starts tonight.
'Sensitivity enhances your sensuality.' Should I be worried about you, Mulder? Or just your fashion choices? And by the way, 'financial intuition is strong - but verify impressions.' Maybe double-check the budget before you requisition more night-vision goggles.
Touché, Scully. But what if instinct is my secret weapon today? Artistic and musical expressions flow! Maybe I should try communicating with the witnesses through interpretive dance.
I'm sure the Bureau would love that, Mulder. Just promise me one thing - when you do, let me know so I can grab some popcorn.

Gemini

May 21 - June 21

Scully, would you believe my horoscope just called me a bridge for the enlightenment of others? It says my mind's on fire, my heart's overflowing, and tonight, apparently, love is my first language.
Mulder, I can't help but notice your horoscopes tend to validate whatever mood you're already in. Have you considered the possibility it's just vague enough to apply to anyone?
But it specifically mentions a surge in creative communication, subtle emotional undercurrents - Scully, that's practically a warning that the paranormal hotline is about to ring with an unsolvable case. Maybe the cosmos is telling me I'm meant to connect the dots other agents would miss.
Or it could be that after several cups of coffee and one too many late nights reading case files, your mind is simply making those connections all by itself - no celestial endorsement necessary.
Still, it says my heart's going to spill over into everything I do, especially my career. Maybe I'll finally crack the government files on those classified abductions. Maybe I should write some poetry about it. Think Skinner would appreciate a limerick about a spaceship?
As much as I'd pay to see his face, Mulder, I'm not convinced cryptic lunar memes are the key to professional advancement. But if you feel compelled to write poetry, just keep it out of the official reports.
Scully, when wisdom 'flows like a river,' as my horoscope so poetically puts it, sometimes we have to accept that not everything can be explained by science or psychology. Some things - like why I still have this sunflower seed habit - are just written in the stars.
Or written in a tabloid at the corner store. But if embracing your horoscope makes you more enlightened in today's interviews, far be it from me to stand in the way of destiny.

Cancer

June 22 - July 22

You seem unusually contemplative today, Mulder. Find something interesting with your morning coffee?
Actually, Scully, I just read my horoscope, and it’s clear this day isn’t like any other. Apparently, my heart’s supposed to overflow its banks - basically flooding everyone I come into contact with in good vibes. Kind of like that river in Oregon, only less… tentacle-y.
So, are you suggesting you’re radiating benevolence now? Last time you had an emotional outpouring, you almost drove us into a tree chasing a phantom light.
Not just benevolence, but love is my native language tonight, Scully. Maybe that means I should finally let Skinner know how much I appreciate those cryptic messages he always leaves us.
Or maybe it means your horoscope is banking on clichés. Mulder, do you really believe planetary alignments will enhance your caregiving abilities?
Two luminaries are merging in the sky right now. That has to be more meaningful than a coincidence. It’s practically an invitation for a sacred moment - maybe we should plant some metaphorical seeds while the cosmic soil is fertile.
You mean like making a wish on the full moon, or constructing a makeshift spirit altar in our hotel room? I’m sure housekeeping would be thrilled.
Scully, you of all people should know: Water signs are supposedly at their psychic peak. Don’t tell me you’re not at least feeling more in tune with your surroundings today.
Unless my coffee was enchanted this morning, I think I’ll leave the psychic impressions to you. But if you feel compelled to try domestic spirituality, just remember we’re due at the crime scene in forty-five minutes.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

I see you're awfully chipper today, Mulder. Care to share what's fueling this sudden optimism?
Scully, I just read my horoscope, and it's practically calling me to embrace my 'playful energy.' Apparently, cosmic forces are shaping my every move. There's talk of two luminaries embracing, merging my inner flame with the cosmic tides. Clearly, the universe is asking me to be a little more creative, maybe even divinely inspired.
Is this creative surge going to involve a puppet show or perhaps another late-night slideshow of crop circles?
No, Scully, this is bigger. The horoscope actually suggested planting metaphorical seeds of intention in the darkness. It's a sacred moment, says so right there. Maybe it's time I finally write that poem about our trip to Oregon - the one with the missing time.
Mulder, if the only seeds you're planting are metaphors, then I suppose my allergies are safe. But what about this part about 'lightning striking the foundation'? Should I brace myself for another moldy motel ceiling to collapse?
Think about it, Scully. The foundation we think is solid - turns out it's shifting beneath us. Much like that time we trusted what we were told at the Bureau. Relationships could be affected. I just hope you don't start seeing me as unstable ground.
Mulder, I survived fluke men and psychic assassins. I think your celestial mood swings are manageable. But what about 'creativity becoming transcendent'? Are you planning to take up interpretive dance?
Not unless you want to join me. But there’s something poetic about seeing beauty in the unknown, don’t you think? At the very least, I might start speaking in rhymes. Divinely inspired, after all.
If that happens, Mulder, I reserve the right to call Skinner. Or at least demand you wear a tin foil hat while you recite.

Virgo

August 23 - September 22

Mulder, why are you looking at me like you just had a personal revelation?
Scully, I just read my horoscope and apparently, today my wisdom is supposed to flow like a river, bridging concepts that nobody else can even see, let alone connect. It's like the time we deciphered those crop circle patterns - except, now it says my insight is going to enlighten everyone. Think about the implications.
Mulder, is there any scientific basis to believe the orientation of the stars imbues you with enlightened wisdom for just one specific day out of the year?
Scully, open your mind for just a second. The universe is telling me that my relationships are going to be especially affected today - my heart overflowing and nourishing all it touches. It's like a cosmic emotional floodplain. Maybe it's a sign to approach things differently with Skinner, or even you.
Let me guess - they suggest a holistic health regimen too? Maybe you should incorporate some yoga the next time we're running from shadowy government agents.
You joke, but the horoscope said practical compassion is key - and honestly, maybe that's the approach I should've taken with that faith healer in Kentucky. Maybe if I'd fused a little more spirituality with my logic, I would've understood more.
Or maybe you should trust empirical data, as always. Though I suppose I wouldn't mind seeing you channel your 'nourishing heart' the next time we interrogate a suspect. Just don't try to solve our cases with astrology, Mulder.
I'm not promising miracles, Scully. But if love is supposedly my native language today, I'll try to remain compassionate - even when you're shooting holes in my cosmic connections.

Libra

September 23 - October 23

Scully, I just came across my horoscope, and I think it’s more accurate than anything in the Bureau’s profiling handbook. It says my interactions today will be ‘graceful’ and my heart will overflow. Apparently, tonight I’m supposed to speak love like it’s my first language. What do you make of that?
Well, Mulder, unless you’re planning on serenading the local police chief or the coroner, I’m not sure how that’s going to fit into the case file. What practical application does your ‘overflowing heart’ have for our work?
Maybe it means I’m meant to resolve conflict with charm rather than a badge and a gun. It even mentions two luminaries merging in the sky - like when the lights went out that night in Bellefleur. You said it was just high atmospheric pressure, but what if it was astronomical destiny? My inner flame and the tides of feeling coming together in a ‘sacred moment’ for planting seeds of intention. That sounds suspiciously like the universe wants us to follow intuition rather than hard evidence.
Or it’s just lunar cycles and poetic language. Mulder, you know correlation doesn’t equal causation. Are you suggesting we let celestial weather decide our investigation tactics now? Should I consult my palm instead of the autopsy report?
Not exactly, Scully. But listen, my horoscope insists that relationships need ‘romantic idealism’ tonight. That collaborative arts will flow beautifully. Maybe that’s a sign we should pool our insights - logic and belief, skepticism and faith. You remember that time you painted, looking for peace after an exhausting case? Maybe the answers tonight are found in creative collaboration - a harmony neither of us could reach alone.
So your horoscope is telling you we have to solve this with a combination of science, empathy, and teamwork - something we do every day, with or without the moon’s approval? Mulder, sometimes the obvious explanation is the right one.

Scorpio

October 24 - November 21

You look like you've just seen a ghost, Mulder. What's got you so contemplative?
Scully, I just read my horoscope and I think it might explain everything happening today. Apparently, mysterious vibes are shaping my path. You can't tell me that's a coincidence with the case we're working on.
Let me guess. This isn't about forensic evidence, but lunar influence and sacred moments?
Exactly. According to this, my heart is supposed to overflow its banks, nourishing every relationship it touches. Maybe that means tonight's stakeout is going to get interesting. Maybe even... transformative.
Mulder, we’re talking about a horoscope, not an alien artifact discovered in a crop circle. You don’t actually believe the movement of celestial bodies is planting seeds of intention for you, do you?
Why not, Scully? Two luminaries embracing in the sky, merging my inner flame with the tides of feeling - it sounds less like fantasy and more like those nights chasing what we can’t explain. Plus, creative pursuits? Maybe I’ll finally crack that unsolved file on paranormal phenomena tonight.
Or maybe you're just projecting so you don't have to explain why you keep filling the office with sunflower seeds and questionable books on psychic healing.
Skepticism noted. But with the mystical depths intensifying - and psychological and spiritual insights coming easily - I think you might catch a glimpse of the unknown tonight, too. If you're open to it.
I'll stick with science, Mulder. But if your horoscope helps you make sense of the unexplainable, I certainly hope it comes with a flashlight and backup.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

Mulder, you've been staring at that horoscope for fifteen minutes. What's it say this time?
Scully, listen - adventurous energy is practically calling me. Apparently two luminaries are merging in the sky tonight, which means my inner flame is syncing up with the emotional tides.
Right. And does this inner flame require us to chase ghosts in haunted forests again, or will it be crop circles in Virginia this time?
Not necessarily, but it is a sacred moment for planting seeds of intention. The horoscope says this is the fertile dark - I interpret that as a cosmic invitation. Maybe the universe wants us to, I don't know, probe a little deeper than usual.
Mulder, you say that every week. And how do you reconcile this 'cosmic invitation' with your need for hard evidence?
Here's the thing - it's all about communication this time. Lightning is supposed to strike the foundation, meaning what we think is solid might actually be shifting sand. Like when we thought that creature in the sewers behaved predictably, but then it changed its patterns.
You're not seriously using a horoscope to justify our next scientific investigation, are you?
Scully, faith can inspire philosophical journeys. Even the lunar influence is recommending spiritual studies to expand our worldview. Don't you think keeping an open mind is... well, practical during explorations?
I think that maintaining practical awareness, especially when spiritual revelations are involved, is the only way we won't get lost in the metaphorical dark, Mulder.
All I'm saying is: maybe the truth really is out there tonight. And maybe it's wearing a crescent moon as a badge.

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

Scully, I just read my horoscope, and it basically confirmed what I've always suspected: ambitious resolve is guiding my soul today. The universe has my back.
Mulder, are you basing our next move on your horoscope again? I hope this is more sound than your last plan involving crop circles.
Hear me out. It said my heart's going to overflow its banks and touch every relationship. If that's not a cosmic endorsement to reach out to those contacts in the Bureau, I don't know what is.
Or it could just mean you're feeling sentimental. Correlation doesn't imply causation, especially with horoscopes.
But Scully, tonight, love is my native language. Even the stars are backing me up. Two luminaries are embracing, merging my inner flame with the tides of feeling. Didn't we just see a similar conjunction the night the power went out in Bellefleur?
Mulder, astronomical events happen regularly. Suggesting they dictate your communication style is a reach, even for you.
It also said it's a sacred moment for planting seeds of intention in the fertile dark. Maybe we should reconsider that unsolved case file after all. Fate might be on our side.
Well, according to my scientific methodology, dreams meeting disciplined form means we just need to work harder and perhaps get more sleep. Artistic visions, Mulder, aren't admissible in court.
Maybe, but it says my career intuition is surprisingly accurate. If you suddenly see me sketching aliens on a legal pad, you'll know why.
I'll start worrying if you claim the lunar influence gave you the solution to cold fusion, Mulder.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

Mulder, you look like you've seen a ghost. Or at least read something that's about to become a ghost story.
Scully, it's my horoscope. Listen to this: it says innovative ideas are going to spark for me today. Like lightning striking, revealing that what I thought was solid ground is really shifting sand. You know what that reminds me of? Our little encounter with the supposed lake monster in Georgia. Foundations aren't always what they seem.
Or maybe it just means that horoscopes use vague metaphors to make everyone feel special, Mulder. Shifting sand could be anything. Maybe you should just watch where you step instead of looking for cryptic messages from the universe.
But Scully, it specifically mentions building accordingly. Clearly, it's a directive, urging me to adjust my approach. Perhaps it’s time to revisit some old cases with a more open mind - let my heart overflow, as it suggests, and see if compassion really nourishes every relationship. Maybe even with Skinner, if he ever forgives us for nearly flooding the Hoover Building.
So now you're going to start using your horoscope to inform your investigative techniques? What's next - consulting a Ouija board before we file our reports? And since when is love your native language, Mulder?
Tonight, Scully. That’s what it says. Tonight, love is my native language. Maybe it means I’ll finally be able to convince you that the truth really is out there. Plus, listen to this Lunar Influence: Visionary compassion emerges. Humanitarian efforts gain spiritual dimension. Sounds like we’re on the brink of merging science and the metaphysical. Maybe the Lone Gunmen’s new satellite project will work after all.
Or maybe you just want to justify spending our entire budget on another one of their technological art projects. I’ll believe in these ‘spiritual dimensions’ when I see something more concrete than planetary alignments affecting your emotional output, Mulder.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

Mulder, are you really going to sit there and tell me that your horoscope is responsible for this sudden surge of 'magic' in your life?
You know, Scully, I just read something that really spoke to me. It said a whisper of magic is going to enchants my day, and that wisdom would be flowing through me. I'm starting to feel like I could connect concepts most people don't even dream of.
Enlightening others with your insights? That's what you think has been happening today? Or are you planning on spending the evening decoding crop circles via psychic osmosis?
I wouldn't rule it out. The lunar influence is supposed to put my psychic and artistic gifts at their peak tonight. Maybe this is the universe's way of telling me to finally try painting what I saw in that warehouse in Raleigh - if you recall, the one with the mysterious symbols on the walls.
Mulder, you've never struck me as the artistic type. And I think you'd need more than lunar cycles to explain away some of your 'visions'. What else does your horoscope promise you today? Spiritual enlightenment? The ability to finally speak the native tongue of love?
Actually, yes. It says tonight, love is my native language. Maybe I should be spending less time chasing monsters in the dark and more time exploring these, uh, cosmic connections. You think Skinner would approve if I took personal expression as seriously as chasing black oil?
It sounds like Skinner would advise more paperwork and less stargazing, Mulder. But if you can bridge all these incredible concepts, maybe you could start with explaining, once and for all, where my left shoe disappeared to when we visited that New Mexico reservation.
You know, Scully, it might have been the result of that profound lunar homecoming. Strange things happen when the moon is full. I'd keep your shoes close tonight, just in case.
