What about making a horoscope animal like Sagittarius is a rat. Chinese Horoscope Animal Signs.
<LostTruths> !sagittarius
<SmartyPants> Sagittarius: Your friends and family have a lot to say today -- too much, most likely! That doesn't mean you should blow them off, but at some point your impatience is sure to show through. Then it's time to act!
<LostTruths> !rat
<SmartyPants> Rat: Proceed with caution on the day of the Wood Rabbit. Treading lightly around others could help defend against gossips and petty attacks on your character. Spending frugally is advisable, as these times could put a strain on your checkbook and unforeseen expenditures might begin to pile up.

Either the site has gone under a HTML change, in which case this script needs to be updated. Or, the site could have been temporarily down. Works fine for me now.

if ($2 isin AquariusPiscesAriesTaurusGeminiCancerLeoVirgoLibraScorpioSagittariusCapricorn) {

You could
if ($istok(Aquarius.Pisces.Aries.Taurus.Gemini.Cancer.Leo.Virgo.Libra.Scorpio.Sagittarius.Capricorn,$2,46))

That would prevent someone trying !horoscpe Tau or !horoscope a
Also, make sure the socket isnt open with if ($sock(horo))
It will give you annoying errors if you try reopening a socket thats already opened

i think he means cause your missing a : at the end. although it still seems to work without it. i always thought it was necessary.

Instead of
if ($2 isin AquariusPiscesAriesTaurusGeminiCancerLeoVirgoLibraScorpioSagittariusCapricorn) {
i\'d suggest using $istok(Aquarius|pisces|...,$2,124) or something, the way it is now will trigger on bogus things like !horoscope a or !horoscope nican lol
