"Your Horoscope for Today" is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic, originally featured on the album Running With Scissors (1999). It is a style parody of the third wave ska movement, more specifically the bands Reel Big Fish, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and The Toasters. The song features Tavis Werts on trumpet, and Dan Regan on trombone (both were members of the third-wave ska band Reel Big Fish). The song is an elaborate parody of horoscope pages, using the twelve astrological symbols.
On 14 January 2011, in response to popular press headlines concerning the sign of Ophiuchus following its mention on NBC on 12 January, Weird Al posted an additional lyric for Ophiuchus on his Twitter page: "You’ll become the center of attention when you replace every square inch of your skin with plexiglass".

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“To be faced with what so-and-so’s mother lets him do, or what the teacher said in class today or what all the kids are wearing is to be required to reexamine some part of our belief structure. Each time we rethink our values we reaffirm them or begin to change them. Seen in this way, parenthood affords us an exceptional opportunity for growth.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)
