IFLA: The “Day After” Edition of the Horoscope for the Week of July 5

by | Jul 5, 2026 | IFLA | 30 comments

So a (probably hack) gunwriter has their magazines collected by obsessive manga-ka, who has their work collected by obsessive weeaboo. It’s the chain of autism!

This week is about the increasing influence of MERCURY RETROGRADE, which will be maximizing on Saturday. Be prepared for every day this week to be a bit wackier than the previous. Venus transits to Virgo on Thursday, so if that benefits you, take advantage of it. Other than that, the week is not terribly interesting.

The HU released a new video last week, but nobody posted it. So I will. If I had a time machine, I’d take their stuff back to MTV circa 1984.

Cancer: Justice – Justice. Usually seen as a good thing, but not for some clients.

Leo: Knight of Coins reversed – Inertia, idleness, stagnation, placidity, discouragement, carelessness.

Virgo: Queen of Wands reversed – Economical, serviceable, opposition, jealousy, deceit, infidelity.

Libra: 8 of Swords reversed – Disquiet, difficulty, opposition, accident, treachery; what is unforeseen; fatality.

Scorpio: Knight of Wands – Departure, absence, flight, emigration. A dark young man, friendly. 

Sagittarius: Death reversed – Inertia, sleep, lethargy, petrifaction, somnambulism; hope destroyed.

Capricorn: 2 of Wands – Riches, fortune, magnificence, physical suffering, disease, chagrin, sadness, mortification. I’ve written about this card before but it represents someone in the final third of their life, with the analogous benefits and problems.

Aquarius: 10 of Wands – Fortune, gain, any kind of success, and then it is the oppression of these things. Also false-seeming, disguise, perfidy.

Pisces: King of Cups reversed – Man of business, law, or divinity; responsible.

Aries: Queen of Cups reversed – Distinguished woman but one not to be trusted; perverse woman; vice, dishonor, depravity.

Taurus: Queen of Swords reversed – Malice, bigotry, artifice, prudery, bale, deceit.

Gemini: 9 of Swords – Death, failure, miscarriage, delay, deception, disappointment, despair.

    “Be prepared for every day this week to be a bit wackier than the previous.”

    I’m already off to a wacky start and haven’t even gotten naked yet.

    • Ted S.

      You’re off to a wacky start because you haven’t gotten naked.

    • Chipping Pioneer

      You get naked to whack off?

      • Threedoor

        Full inversion.

  2. The Late P Brooks

    Sagittarius: Death reversed – Inertia, sleep, lethargy, petrifaction, somnambulism; hope destroyed.

    Business as usual.

    “Leo: Knight of Coins reversed – Inertia, idleness, stagnation, placidity, discouragement, carelessness.”

    So just like last week…. sigh

    Watching the Bat Out Of Hell video from the morning thread jogged a memory loose. I attended a midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show when it first arrived in our city in the fall of 1977. The thing I remember most about it was the trailers/music videos for the Bat Out of Hell album they showed on the big screen before the RHPS instead the usual movie previews. The first video was You Took The Words Right Out Of Mouth. I was confused, why are they showing a video of some fat guy singing instead of previews? No one in the packed theater knew who it was. Then the video for Paradise By The Dashboard Light followed. I remember being sucked into the performance and the rousing round of applause by the crowd when it finished. Everyone was asking who the heck is the guy singing? There were no credits, no titles, nothing was shown as to who it was performing. I never realized the character Eddy was the same person who sang those songs until later. It was weeks later when PBTDBL began getting airplay on the radio that I learned what the singers name was. I remember thinking that the DJ was fucking around when it he said his name was Meat Loaf. I was like get the fuck out, really? Meat Loaf?

      While fitting, that is one of the more baffling choices of a stage name. Lean into it, I s’pose? (Good strategy, no snark.)

    My CZ-75 was made between the fall of Communism and the break-up of Czechoslovakia.

    The Hu video is good.

    I like the partisan press conference.

    Inertia, idleness, stagnation, placidity, discouragement, carelessness.

    Sufficiently shitty.

    • Threedoor

      “Live the life your weren’t meant to live”

      Pretty good line in there.

  6. UnCivilServant

    My first thought when seeing the CZ – “That looks like a Baretta raped a Hi-Power”

    • (((Jarflax

      Seduced surely, a sexy young Italian certainly does not need to force herself on a Belgian that old.

      • UnCivilServant

        Beretta pistols are ugly guns. Five-baggers at least.

    Taurus: Queen of Swords reversed – Malice, bigotry, artifice, prudery, bale, deceit.
    —-
    ‘Only’ way that could happen is if my communications with the President of Dominion Title went very, very astray, and his attempt to reconnect with me and talk about last week’s interview, and his crew’s positive feedback, was really a strange double-bluff.
    (Or… someone else could just really not like me that much.)

    Or it could reference the fairly stupid me, who floated out $ out to a nearby ex and a ‘faraway’ friend.

    Crazy ex was good on her first $25/wk repayment plan. Minnesota Munchkin, whom I’ve kinda shut out for a bit cuz her actively UNhelpful behavior last week, still owes me $400. With that owed to a friend, I’d think one’d turn OFF the Cunt Dial when talking with your loaner. (Ha!) That girl is troubled, a good example of an abused orphan (legit) who learned to be defensive and combative about everything around her. Such a little ball of negativity, that one.

    So. A few ways said Queen ‘could’ refer to me.

  8. DEG

    One very expensive rifle

    A new world record has been set for the most expensive rifle ever sold at auction. Rock Island Auction Company offered Henry rifle serial no. 1 in its June 27th “The American Sale” where it brought a realized price of $5,875,000. The gun’s intersection of historic provenance, significant arms design, rarity, and high condition all helped push the new record. The gun’s $5 million hammer price matched that of the highest firearm ever sold, the Colt Single Action Army revolver that fatally shot Billy the Kid.

  9. Threedoor

    Gunsmith Cats you say?

    Someone buy my 59 Chevy panel. You can be just like Grey, and I can get a parking spot back.

  10. Raven Nation

    Cancer: Justice. Usually seen as a good thing, but not for some clients.

    Explains why Balogun’s red card has been suspended?

    • rhywun

      😮 They’re just making shit up now, aren’t they.

      • juris imprudent

        Should not have been given in the first place; ref didn’t even call it a foul.

      • rhywun

        Poor reffing has been a theme. There was clearly no cause for the red card and overturning his original decision even after watching it in slo-mo.

      • rhywun

        Breaking! Rhywun writes for the BBC!

        LOL I bet it pays better than my current position.

        But yeah, my immediate thought was exactly that BBC and friends were going to come up with conspiracy theories.

    • RAHeinlein

      No corruption here…

      I agree is was a bad call among MANY bad calls (including Germany’s robbed match with the Paraguayan thugs).

      Is there any precedent for this?

  11. Evan from Evansville

    From DC’s 4th July event: The girl who sat on Trump’s right is his daughter? (Melania was on his left.) Hrm. Unsurprisingly, whoever she is… *SCHWING* See also: Barron is tall, handsome, and apparently went to a very good ‘finishing school’ to be good at the Public Angle. (Apparently a good dude, as well. Heard talk of him kinda saving a girl in Europe when he found out her place was being broken into while she was still in it.)

    On the other hand, I get the distinct and kinda unavoidable impression that the Obama kids are sincerely fucked up. Not entirely their fault, kinda raised in the WH as their father was considered the King Among Libs. I highly doubt I’m alone in thinking this.

    • rhywun

      At least the Obama girls are smart enough to mostly keep away from the public unlike their parents.

      • Raven Nation

        “Fifa said that the automatic one-match ban will be suspended for a year.

        “In line with article 27 of the Fifa disciplinary code, the implementation of the match suspension is suspended for a probationary period of one year,” it said in a statement.”

        But, from BBC “football issues correspondent”:

        “All of a sudden, the host nation’s star player is available for a crucial knockout game. There was a media frenzy in the US to get it overturned. And that means the real question now is, how was the decision made? Fifa is giving no details. Trump has thanked Fifa on social media, saying a “great injustice” has been reversed. Given the well established close relationship between the White House and Fifa, questions will be asked of the highly unusual decision in favour of the co-hosts…

        It leaves the impression that Fifa is making things up as it goes along.”

        Breaking! Rhywun writes for the BBC!

      • Raven Nation

        *sigh*

        Obviously meant for previous thread.

      • Ted S.

        I’m sure it was Trump’s idea that Paraguay not get a single yellow card yesterday, too.
