Mastermind
Bbc Sherlock
Summary:- Sherlock doesn't believe in stars and all, will he believe they're the mastermind?
"woah that's awesome" said I looking at the newspaper which startled Sherlock as he was sipping his tea. And I sat infront of him, having my tea cup infront of me to cool down a bit.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing to worry about honey relax". I said "it's my horoscope, i'mma gonna get appreciation in my work place".
"Oh that stupid planetary thingy" he said shrugged it off.
"Hello, your wife that is I, believes in it". I said, a little annoyed.
"And ? Look it still doesn't make any sense, shape stars creating one's personality is just stupid." He said.
"Fine see yours and if it happens you'll have to believe it". I said.
"Okay and how do you know my sign?" He said.
"Oh Mr Sherlock Holmes, you're the detective but I'm also your wife, I asked John your birth time, you told him remember . According to which your sun sign is capricorn, your moon is probably Gemini ".
"Goodness lots of unnecessary research " he said "what it says though wifey?"
I couldn't help but giggle at his comments, he's been this sweet in home always others won't know this kind sweet Sherlock.
"It says you'll have a peaceful day with your spouse " I said.
"Foolish cause I'm gonna go out for a case which is gonna keep me puzzled" he said.
"Yes but see 'with spouse' you'll have a good day" I said circling the word spouse.
"It's cause I'm always at home at peace when you are around me what big deal darling ".
"It's absolutely useless to argue with you" I said annoyed and sipped all my tea.
"Um" he said seeing me angry, a little "is Mrs Holmes mad ?"
"No I'm sorry I overreacted, of course I can't change your belief system " said I touching his hand and caressing with my thumb.
"You say this things know everything?" He asked softly.
"Almost everything" I replied.
"Did they know, you and I will endup together? Married?" He enquired.
"Perhaps " I answered then thought of something and a smile curved to my lips "wanna check?"
"What?"
"Let's find out that days horoscope when you and I first met, here in this room".
"Sure it's 22nd November " he said.
"Yes lemme check " then I first searched mine and said "I'm gonna read honey, are you ready?"
"Yes" he said uninterested.
"Ok so it says your work life is neutral, ofcourse, your education will bother you, absolutely, you'll have to move on from past, oh, hold on to what's infront of you now, what?"
I was stunned ofcourse Sherlock and I met that day and I was still thinking about my previous guy that day.
"Weren't you finding it hard to move on from Mr M..." I stopped Sherlock.
"Yes, don't have to remind me" then I said "I'll check yours".
And searched his, "so here it goes, your work will be wonderful, ofcourse, this new friendship will bring life .. to .. you".
"You and I?" He asked.
"Yes, seems so" I said.
"Were we meant to be together?" He asked.
"Told ya, they're the mastermind" I replied.
He held my hand, brought it to his lips and kissed.
"Honey?" I asked "see? You believe it now don't you?"
"No" he said.
"What the...."
"I just know you and I being together is all I need". He said, it was lovely, I couldn't help but say "aw" and went close to kiss him, he kissed me back.
"Love you darling " he said.
"Me too" said I.

Essential Avengers: Avengers #120: Death-Stars of the ZODIAC!
February, 1974
Oh, boy! Its Zodiac again! The criminal cartel that loves playing dress-up and thinks horoscopes are the bee’s knees.
No, seriously. These guys are seriously into the Zodiac.
Although, I notice that they whitewashed Aries on the cover. Inside the book, the new Aries is a black man.
The opening splash page shows us a vague battle between the Zodiac and the Avengers, which may or may not have happened but is probably just representative of the overall conflict.
Anyway. We actually start off in jail. A man claiming to be Taurus visits Joshua Link, actually Gemini of Zodiac.
Zodiac let Link languish in jail as punishment for being dumb enough to get caught in Astonishing Tales #17-20 but now they’re gearing up a big plan and as the new leader Taurus wants all twelve houses of the Zodiac filled.
Plus? The new plan will personally affect Link because at midnight tonight, Zodiac will kill every person in New York born under the sign of Gemini.
But first they’ll bust him out so they can protect him. They’re nice in that manner.
There’s a complication though. Joshua Link reveals that due to an accident in an experimental electron chamber, he has been psychically linked with his cop twin brother Damian.
As a result, he can posses his brother whenever he wants. But if Damian dies, Joshua will probably die too.
And apparently being psychic twins is what inspired Joshua Link to work hard enough to become a crime boss so he could become the Gemini of Zodiac. Because, y’know, its good to have goals.
We scene shift to the Avengers Mansion where police Sergeant Link is paying them a visit. He is to act as a liaison between the police and the Avengers concerning Captain America being held for murder (which is stuff from Cap’s own book).
The sergeant gets a sudden headache, thinking its another one of the black-out spells he’s been having, but says walking around the mansion will help ease the pain.
Iron Man decides to give him a mini-grand tour (which seems a contradiction, Tony) but Mantis senses that Sergeant Link’s vibrations have changed in some way that she does not understand. She asks Swordsman to keep an eye on the policeman.
Distracted by Scarlet Witch’s continued bitterness toward humanity (she’s standing in the corner instead of being with the clump of Avengers around Sergeant Link) nobody notices the policeman make a grab for some secret weapon documents that the Avengers just have laying out.
The Avengers are bad at security. Once again, the ghost of Gyrich yet to come has a point.
Actually, I take it back. One body notices. Swordsman. And he pulls a sword on the cop before immediately collapsing - fortuitously cutting the cop’s uniform instead of disemboweling him, revealing that Sergeant Damien Link has the Gemini uniform under his cop uniform.
BECAUSE JOSHUA MAKES HIM WEAR IT EVERYDAY. JUST IN CASE. Low profile apparently never occurred to him.
Now aside from having magic twin possessing powers, Gemini also boasts to have twice the strength and speed of a normal man (I’d love for him to meet Triathlon) but he’s up against Thor and a single punch lays Gemini out flat.
Spying from across the street, Taurus rails against Joshua’s stupidity. Gemini was only supposed to control his brother so Taurus could capture him. Instead he got greedy fingers and made the bad situation of his brother being in Avengers mansion nearly impossible.
So now he has to assemble the Zodiac and take action.
Although apparently he deliberately affects a rough accent to keep his fellow Zodiacers from realizing his real identity. Which is an interesting clue. Not that the mystery is solvable from my recollection.
Back inside the mansion, Swordsman isn’t doing well. He’s burning up from fever. Mantis pulls open his tunic to reveal that the wounds he got from his battle in Bolivia (during the Avengers/Defenders War? Some guy shot him with a science gun? And then Valkyrie left him to take the heat?) have become infected.
Swordsman never had his wounds treated. In Bolivia, the police took him straight to jail instead of a hospital because they recognized him from his criminal days. They sent for a doctor but one didn’t show up before Cap arrived to spring Swordsman so the Avengers could meet with the Defenders.
And then Swordsman didn’t speak up because he didn’t want to be sidelined, wanted to prove himself to the team.
Thor tells him that there was no need for him to prove himself to anyone but fever delirious Swordsman says Cap still doesn’t trust him before feverishly remarking on the irony of Cap being the one called a crook these days.
Mantis carries Swordsman off to tend to his fever.
Gemini - or rather Damien Link cop guy - comes to and wonders why he’s in a weird outfit. Before the Avengers can unpack that, the intruder alarm goes off but the wall also melts.
And the remaining members of the Zodiac stand arrayed in a cool splash page with only minimal bickering. Taurus even has an astral-powered gun called the Star-Blazer because why not.
And before the Avengers can collect themselves, Zodiac is on them and kicking their butts. The Star-Blazer is strong enough that it puts Thor and Vision out of commission. Capricorn knocks out Iron Man with an apparently superpowered headbutt. And Virgo kicks Scarlet Witch in the face.
After that one-page beatdown, Taurus wonders that there weren’t more Avengers hanging around. Not-technically-an-Avenger-but-I-consider-her-one-anyway Mantis lurks around the corner and delivers a flying strange grip to Taurus’ neck and steals the Star-Blazer.
She threatens the other Zodiacers with it but Gemini attacks her from behind (having taken over Damien’s body again) and then the rest of the Zodiac tackle her and as good as she is being punched by twelve people is even too much for Mantis.
Having retrieved Damien Link and having set something up for later, Zodiac departs.
Jarvis returns from shopping to find a hole in the side of Avengers mansion and bystanders talking about a bunch of kooky costumed people fleeing the scene.
In a panic, he runs into the mansion using a frankly irresponsible security override device and finds the Avengers all piled up in a heap!
They’re dead! no wait no they’re not false alarm.
Although its a bit of a mystery why not. Zodiac had them at their mercy. Why leave them alive? They must be confident that they’ll be able to defeat the Avengers in the future, where the whole world will witness their defeat.
Thor spots yon tape player that Taurus left behind with a message for the Avengers.
And... geez. This is some priceless stuff. Okay, so.
“All humans are ruled by the stars -- by the Zodiac -- ‘cause of the astrological influences present at each man’s birth! So our cartel calls itself Zodiac, since we’re gonna rule mankind, too! At midnight tonight, mankind will join you in knowin’ about our stellar energy, ‘cause we’re gonna use a giant version of my Star-Blazer -- to kill everyone born between May 22 and June 21 -- every Gemini -- in Manhattan! Then -- we’ll have a few demands to make!”
That’s canon Marvel science now. You can just kill people with stellar energy depending on what zodiac sign they were born under.
Later, we see that Zodiac has set up their giant Star-Blazer on the World Trade Center.
Taurus reveals that he left the Avengers a message because he wants them to try somethin’ dumb like tryin’ to evacuate all the Geminis. Because they don’t have a chance to succeed and it will just show the world that even the Avengers are afraid of Zodiac.
Because in 22 minutes, the Star-Blazer will activate and everyone in Manhattan born under Gemini will just fall dead. That’s science.
Meanwhile, Capricorn has finished protecting Geminis from the Star-Blazer with nullify-nodes (which seems like its cutting it a little close but whatever).
Gemini does wonder why Geminis were picked to demonstrate the Zodiac’s power. Aries snarks that its because Geminis are such a shiftless bunch riling up Gemini like crazy. Because if anyone would take zodiac signs too seriously, its the Zodiac cartel. But the real answer is simply because they put it to a vote and since Joshua wasn’t around his house lost.
As Taurus prepares to activate the Star-Blazer, we learn the fun vocabulary word ‘duodecimate.’ And also that Taurus isn’t demanding a ransom because of the failure of the previous Aries when he tried to hold Manhattan hostage. He’ll just murder all but two of the Gemini in Manhattan to demonstrate that his version of Zodiac will not be stopped.
And also he’s about as weirdly into the zodiac as the rest of them. Because he stares at the people on the streets through a telescope and declares that they look like ants from up here. And then follows that up with “And there is no zodiacal sign for the ant!”
But before apparent weaponsmaster Sagittarius activates the Star-Blazer, the Avengers show up!
With a Kla-TOOM! Iron Man and Thor blast the Supersized Star-Blazer and then the Avengers pay Zodiac back for the early curbstomp battle.
Mantis knocks out man-in-lion-fursuit Leo, declaring that they found Zodiac because they reasoned that a star-powered weapon would need altitude in smog-covered New York. Iron Man knocks down Pisces and Cancer with a CRUMP! And Vision... dang, he beats up three people in one move. Although I don’t recognize which of the Zodiac they are. Looks like Scorpio, Libra, and Sagittarius.
The Avengers corner Aries and Taurus against the damaged Super Star-Blazer but Taurus claims that even damaged, the weapon can still affect close quarters and if the Avengers don’t back off and let Zodiac go, they’ll use it to fry one of the Avengers.
Thor says thee nay. None of the Avengers are Gemini. They had a huddle and determined that before heading over.
Even so, Taurus blasts Mantis with the Star-Blazer, sending her flying to the edge of the roof. Dangling half off.
Taurus claims that Mantis feels everyone’s pain as if it were her own so the Gemini-targeted Star-Blazer can still hurt her. How he knows this is a mystery. Even the next time box calls it out as one.
Either way, let Zodiac free or the next Star-Blaze will kill Mantis!

It definitely took a while constructing this list, because I thought about my lists from the last two years, and how I usually forget about whatever I put as my final entry, and how the honorable mentions list usually takes over the top 10 and/or the albums that never clicked finally do in the new year.
1) Anti- Rihanna: I have no issue with admitting how I 180′d on Rihanna from the middle of December 2015 to February 2016. At first I didn’t really expect much from ANTI, but it somehow managed to become the soundtrack to my Spring 2016 semester. In February I was daydreaming music video concepts to Kiss it Better and Same Ol’ Mistakes. In March, I was singing along to Consideration, and nodding to Yeah, I Said It. By April, I even appreciated Higher unironically! I feel like the best works, be it in movie, music, TV, or books, motivate you to find new media based on what you liked in it. I would definitely say that ANTI did that, because Same Ol’ Mistakes was my gateway to Tame Impala.
2) X-Communicate- Kristin Kontrol: Usually, it takes a bit more for to try out someone I haven’t heard of, but within the first few seconds of the saxophone introduction in Show Me, I was hooked. If you enjoy the 80′s revival that’s been going on, you’ll enjoy this. My favorites are (Don’t) Wannabe, Going Thru the Motions, and Smoke Rings.
3) Nightride- Tinashe: There were a lot of times throughout 2016 where I gave up hope for Joyride. When Ride of Your Life was released, when her tour finished, when she herself admitted she didn’t know when the album would come out, when Super Love (Which I enjoy, but having Nightride, feels a bit Liz Phair self-titled) was released, when there still wasn’t a release date, when she did a Wonderland performance and there was still no release date.... So when Tinashe not only got to release an album but release one that is coherent and quality is incredible. I like how she didn’t try to find a way to balance her two personas on here, and instead just decided to focus on the introspective alternative R&B she’s more remembered for. My favorite songs, outside of the singles, include C’est La Vie, Lucid Dreaming, and Touch Pass.
4) Strange Little Birds- Garbage: I remember on RateYourMusic I saw a comment about Not Your Kind of People like ‘Their first four albums had different kind of personas with flaws, while Not Your Kind of People seems to be a more mature persona. I wonder where they go from here as NYKOP provided closure to the previous albums’ (I know it’s a bit of a newspaper horoscope analysis but work with me, I can’t find the original comment), which kind of described why I was curious about Garbage’s next album. Would they pull a premium cable drama move and do unnecessary reversions? Garbage had a few Record Store Day songs out in the past few years which weren’t bad, but definitely predictable. Even the lead single Empty was kind of more of the same.
Thankfully, Strange Little Birds shows that a 90′s alternative rock band can get back together while not just operating on nostalgia. If I Lost You is one of their torchiest songs since You Look So Fine. We Never Tell sounds like Nobody Asked Me (If I Was Okay) which is cool seeing as Shirley Manson wrote Red Lips. Sometimes is one of the scariest/most menacing songs not sung by PJ Harvey. And Night Drive Loneliness and Blackout are cool based on their titles alone.
5) I Like it When You Sleep, For You are so Beautiful Yet Unaware- The 1975: I’m not even going to pretend I know every song and I probably should try to learn all of them. But the fun, 80′s synthpop songs proudly anchor my 80′s playlist, and If I Believe You was the quasi-blue eyed soul song I didn’t know I needed. The lesser songs are the parts of an academic symposium where you refill your coffee before you have to go to your next class. My (Honestly, everyone’s) favorites are Somebody Else, Love Me, and She’s American.
6) The Altar- Banks: Beggin for Thread kind of went nowhere for me, so if someone told me that Banks headed more for bops with her sophomore album, I would be worried. Luckily, this change wasn’t bad. A lot of the songs might be more ‘Hear it in a fast fashion store’, but she pulls it off and still has more left-field stuff. My favorite songs include Lovesick, Gemini Feed, and Trainwreck.
7) Reflections in Real Time- Kilo Kish: I made the mistake of not taking this album seriously because of the short songs (the two songs I remember, Hello, Lakisha, and Existential Crisis Hour, felt more like skis than actual songs) and the long track list. But luckily I came back to it in time for year end lists. Kilo Kish probably writes the most introspective lyrics I’ve since Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. Distractions I: The Opposite Sex and Collected Views from Dinner are my favorites.
8) A Seat at the Table- Solange: At first listen, I was kind of disappointed that the album was as subdued as it was. I knew she had the falling out with Blood Orange, and she would probably have changed her sound regardless, but it was still kind of a bummer. However, eventually, I came around to it. Besides Cranes in the Sky, I’m shocked that no one has mentioned Don’t Wish Me Well as a highlight. That’s probably the first song I noticed on the album.
9) Control- Rosie Lowe: With Jessie Ware on maternity leave, and Banks slowly leaving the creeper alternative R&B of Goddess, we needed a new white girl doing alternative R&B, and Rosie Lowe stepped up to the bat prepared, if not courageous. Apparently, she’s been around for a few years, which I can’t believe, because none of my circles have mentioned her yet. Run Run Run is one of my favorites.
10) Seth Bogart- Seth Bogart: As of this writing, I still am not completely sure if this is my tenth favorite album. I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed this album until I had to do write-ups. I thought it was too silly to even appreciate as a body of work, but now I realize that’s what I like about the album. While The 1975′s album was a bit too serious, and M83 a bit, uh, polarizing, Seth Bogart is just right for 80′s pastiche cravings. My favorite songs include Barely 21 (Tavi Gevinson will rule the world one day, so we might as well get on her good side now), Forgotten Fantazy, and Smash the TV.
Honorable mentions to follow, and then other songs I liked in 2016.

Horoscope - All About Horoscopes & Astrology
The horoscope is one of the extremely pivotal parts of keen science of astrology. The importance can be regarded by the fact that the horoscopes are generally read all over the globe, in all nationalities and nations. Most of the newspapers, magazines, webzines and portals and so forth give space to the horoscopes due to its staggering demand. The word "horoscope" has various meanings because of the multiple means of presentations. While per the Vedic zodiac, the diagram that symbolizes the positioning of exoplanets in the solar system during birth of a native is recognized as as a horoscope. Yet , some individuals choose to call it birth-chart, because the common people have this conception that the predictions based on zodiac signs these are known as horoscope.
Are horoscopes true? A large number of people feel that horoscopes are not astrologically correct, since there are only a gemini t shirt that stand for vast number of inhabitants living on earth in fact it is almost astrologically impossible to forecast accurately about every one of them just through twelve signs. Logically it sounds true and certainly no way to effectively predict on individual level through the zodiac horoscopes. But in general, if an experienced astrologer anticipates on the basis of astrology principles about the possible course of life regarding a aries t shirt, it roughly is true for almost all of the people. Though, in no way, it can be said literally true. Nonetheless, it is quite accurate generalization and holds true from wider perspective.
Love Horoscope and its accuracy Like horoscope has become very popular and people take it quite seriously too. The science of zodiac gives certain indications about every zodiac sign and tells the way the course of natives' love life heading to be. These signs, if understood properly, can transform one's love life and set him on the path of delight and satisfaction. Love horoscope can be hugely important for those individuals, who are going through the rough patch in their love and sex life. I have seen many taurus t shirt, who succeeded in transforming their love life through love horoscope.
Daily Horoscope Daily horoscope certainly an effective astrological tool that can radically change your day. If one knows how his day going to be, where he can achieve success, what to avoid during the day and who can prove helpful that day, he can reap other great features and switch his day into a wonderful experience packed with delight and happiness. However, the majority of the daily horoscopes on Internet are not astrologically that accurate and, therefore, aren't much effective. These kinds of sort of daily horoscopes not misguide people, but also waste their treasured time and energy in unworthy things they suggest. Therefore, it is necessary to find a daily horoscope that is written on the scientific rules of astrology.
Vedic zodiac horoscope and other horoscopes Different styles of horoscopes are available these days and nights, many are based on Vedic astrology or Chinese language astrology, and others rely upon Tarot, Ramal and many other strategies of astrology. Just about every branch of astrology has some unique features and, hence, can help you gain an advantage in certain sphere of your life. The sole concern remains is the reliability of such horoscopes. In the event these horoscopes are ready by expert astrologers of these particular branch, there is no doubt that you would get something useful from it.
Horoscope 2017 Lifestyle has always something secret on hand. Unexpected things take place, the unforeseen changes and turns get in your way, so you need to get ready for all that. Yearly Horoscope is a great way to get into the best frame of mind for the probabilities coming your way in that particular season. In the year 2017, know very well what role your moon will play with respect to your own matters- love, marriage, health, family and sex etc. Whether it be your love affair going bad or marriage bells buzzing, health issues giving jitters or perhaps you will meet the physician in the sociable functions only, you will have a glimpse of all this in in depth horoscope 2017.
