Back in the day, Jays, I used to be the biggest fan of the Marvel movies. I filled my wardrobe with graphic tees featuring Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor and all the other Avengers. However, after the premiere of “Endgame”, I, like many of us, felt overwhelmed with all of the content Marvel is putting out, but I still harbor a sweet spot for the movies. Robert Downey Jr. started the Marvel Cinematic Universe with his iconic portrayal of Tony Stark/Iron Man. He just won his first Oscar this year for his role in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and he reminded me of my love. So for this week’s horoscopes, let’s find out what super power you would have based on your zodiac sign. Check out your sun, moon and rising if you really want to be unstoppable!
Aries: Your power is pyrotechnics, meaning that you can control fire. You’ll be just like the Human Torch from “The Fantastic Four.” Your coffee will never be cold again. Just, when you’re practicing your newfound abilities, please make sure to do it far away from the dorm buildings. No one wants to have an impromptu fire drill.
Taurus: Your power is accelerated healing, like Deadpool from Marvel Comics. No one hates getting injured more than you, even if it is the smallest of paper cuts. You like to be comfortable, and that can’t happen if you’re moaning in pain. Luckily, with your fast healing powers, this will never happen again!
Gemini: Your power is lie detecting. D.C. Comics’ Superman uses his super senses to tell when he is being manipulated, but you will just innately know. You’re already a great communicator, Gemini, which is why you’re constantly surrounded by friends and shine at work. This will give you that extra boost.
Cancer: Your power is water manipulation, like Katara from “Avatar: The Last AirBender.” Part of this is because you are a water sign, but it is also because of the way you float through life. You have amazing emotional control and so you’ll handle this turbulent element like it’s nothing. Your pool parties are going to be the best!
Leo: Your power is flight, like Captain Marvel from Marvel Comics. You like to make an entrance, Leo. It’s part of your dramatic streak that we all love so much. The best way to announce your presence is definitely dropping out of the sky and landing on your feet. Plus, you’ll never have to pay for gas again! (That’s the real super power here!)
Virgo: Your power is kinetic copying, which essentially means that you can duplicate yourself like Clayface from D.C. Comics. If you were a crime fighting superhero, this means you could easily outnumber your opponents. Practically though, this means that you might actually make a dent on your never-ending to do list.
Libra: Your power is the ability to look into the future, similar to Alice Cullen from “Twilight” or Dr. Strange from, well, “Dr. Strange.” No longer will you spend hours debating the pros and cons of every decision. When you can see the future, choices are off the table. You can decide if that’s a good thing or not.
Scorpio: Your power is shapeshifting, similar to Ursula from Disney’s “The Little Mermaid.” You don’t like to show everyone your cards, Scorpio. You always want to keep them guessing. What better way to keep people on their toes than if you’re constantly shifting forms? Try not to get into too much mischief with it!
Sagittarius: Your power is telekinesis, meaning you can move stuff with your mind. You’ll be just like Eleven from “Stranger Things.” No longer will you have to get up from your comfy spot on the couch to grab the remote or let the dog out. You’ll probably have more practical uses too.
Capricorn: Your power is the ability to stop time, like Castiel from “Supernatural.” It’s true that patience is a virtue that you already possess, but there are times you wish you could simply freeze the clock just to complete your to-do list. Now, you’ll have all the time in the world and then some.
Aquarius: Your power is conjuring, meaning you can summon whatever you need whenever you want. You’re like Zelena from “Once Upon A Time.” You’re a creative person, Aquarius, and I have no doubt you’ll conjure up the coolest and most useful things. Plus, you’ll never lose your keys again!
Pisces: Your power is power mimicry, meaning that you can absorb the powers of other people around you. You’re just like Rogue from Marvel’s X-Men. Considering how empathetic you are, this makes complete sense. You tune into other’s emotions, and in turn, you also tune into their powers.
