Horoscope Guessing Game
Rules:
Every day, yesterday's horoscopes are fetched from horoscopes.com. They are put into random in order. You need to pick the one that you think is yours.
E.g. If you are a Sagittarius, you read all of the horoscopes and then pick the one that you think is Sagittarius.To make it easier, I have a Finnish translation for the signs too, you can change the view from the "Change sign translation" dropdown.
If you picked correctly, you win! If not, either your birth certificate and parents are lying to you OR horoscopes are mere generic applicable descriptions that apply whereever to whomever and one uses selection bias to find things in their lives that fit it...
If you want real magic and to uncover the hidden rules of the world, try learning card tricks while doing Sadhana yoga.
Future improvements
This is so far just a simple game that is ENTIRELY built on Svelte, that doesn't save any progress.
When user profiles are fully implemented on the website, I can save the user's progress.
I could also gather statistics about it, visualize the guess history and maybe a global "accuracy %".
Yesterday's Horoscopes: 17/09/2025
You're ready for a change, Leo, there's no doubt about it. As you grow older your interests broaden, and you're considering pursuing some of these new interests in earnest. Perhaps school beckons, or some adult education courses. You're ready to make a new place for yourself in the world. Go ahead and get started!
There's tension in the air, Aquarius, but there's little you can do about it. The harsh atmosphere is in stark contrast to the frivolity you felt over the last several days. It seems you received some good news. Perhaps you were finally recognized for your hard work? Don't brag about your accomplishments. It would only exacerbate the situation. Be patient. Avoid confrontation.
Sometimes a little indulgence has value far beyond its price, Libra. A bubble bath in the middle of the day, a luxurious hour spent browsing in a bookstore, a special outfit you've wanted for a long time - these are a few of the ways you could perk up your spirits. Why not? You could use a boost.
You're energetic and enthusiastic today, Gemini, and those around you respond favorably. It seems everyone wants to be in your orbit. Work at home and the office goes quickly and smoothly. Because you have so much energy, why not take on a new project? Normally this would send you over the edge, but today you feel you could take on anything. Go for it.
Who knew you were so talented, Sagittarius? A creation done long ago suddenly takes on a life of its own. A short story written and submitted long ago is pulled from the bottom of the slush pile. Or a portrait you painted gets a second admiring look. Whatever the circumstances, you enjoy the recognition. Your work isn't the only thing receiving admiring glances. Your partner appreciates you, too!
You feel as though you've turned a financial and professional corner, Scorpio. Recent accomplishments have you feeling energized and on top of the world! You exude confidence. It's a good feeling, isn't it? Members of the opposite sex are especially attracted to you right now. And who could blame them? You're looking great!
There's tension all around you, so you'll be happiest spending as much time by yourself as possible, Cancer. If you must interact with people, keep your communication clear and concise. There's room for misunderstanding, which could result in a major blowup over a minor event. It simply isn't worth the trouble being with people today. Seclusion is the only place where you'll find peace.
Don't spread the good news too quickly, Aries. As exciting as it is, nothing is confirmed yet. Keep the information under your hat until plane reservations have been made or you have the job offer in writing. Whatever the good news is, it's exactly what the doctor prescribed to give your self-confidence a boost.
You might be in a financial jam right now, Pisces. The stress of the situation has you considering some radical solutions. Would it really benefit your family if you took a second job? Confide in a friend and see if he or she can help you find a more agreeable solution. Perhaps a relative could give you a low-interest loan.
Loving care is prescribed for someone in your family, Capricorn. Offer a bowl of soup and some tea, but beyond that try and stay out of the way. Sometimes uninterrupted quiet is the best cure of all. You could use a bit of this yourself. Why not curl up with a good book? Even if it's the middle of the day, draw the shades and pretend it's night.
You've never looked better, Virgo. Your partner notices, too, and showers you with extra affection and perhaps even an unexpected gift. This should put a smile on your face! At work, you may be given responsibilities beyond your usual job. Take care to do this special assignment well. If you do, other advancements are likely to follow.
If you receive a financial windfall, spend it wisely, Taurus. Your tendency might be to buy gifts or treat a crowd to a lavish night on the town. But where is the enduring value? Invested carefully, a small chunk of money can grow into a much larger one, which will give you many more options. Be prudent.
