4Is your question about astrology software or is it about upgrading? Please only ask one question at a time.– Martin Owens -doctormo-Nov 15, 2010 at 11:51

13Not to be that guy, but I want to make sure you're aware that Astrology has absolutely no scientific backing. It's not my business what you do on your own time, but I hope that you are under no delusions that it's a real science.– MatthewNov 15, 2010 at 18:39

@user6106 I have removed the second question regarding how to upgrade your system. Please Ask that in another question.– Marco CeppiNov 17, 2010 at 0:45

I just wrote this... Seems like it would be as good as anything else.
if [ $[`expr '(' $RANDOM '*' 2 / 32767 ')'`] -eq 1 ]; then echo "Today will be awesome"; else echo "Back to bed, today will suck"; fi
A shorter version, for Bash:
(($RANDOM % 2)) && echo "Today will be a good day" || echo "Back to bed, today will stink"

6+1 @oli That's a fantastic implementation. I've actually been able to make it more useful for me -- I hope you don't mind my fork -- by piping all the output to /dev/null.– belacquaFeb 6, 2011 at 22:32

3This should work with any version of Ubuntu. I just tested it on 12.04 and it works like a charm! Jan 13, 2012 at 5:21
Add wanda the fish to your gnome-panel, it gives fortunes. If you follow what it tells you, then it works for sure.
Here is a screenshot of the applet in the panel applets list:
And one of the fish telling you your unfortunate future D: (oh no!)
please remember, wanda is a fish... be careful trusting her too much.
Check this http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Environment/Screenlets/Horoscope-36983.shtml
This is a screenlet that displays today's forecast from astrology.yahoo.com. You can configure it to show your zodiac in the screenlet.
Hope this helps.
openastro.org is a good one.
Here is a tutorial to upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04:

The question that was merged here, he was asking how to upgrade from 9.04 to 10.10. Nov 17, 2010 at 13:30
Any horoscope/astrology app is only as good as its input. So you won't find much, there could be something that reads it data back from sites like http://astrology.yahoo.com.
As for your upgrade question, you should upgrade to 9.10 and then to 10.04. The Update Manager
(System > Administration > Upgrade Manager) will ask you to upgrade. If it doesn't you might need to update the Software Sources
(System > Administration > Software Sources) to warn you about new release. In the Updates
tab change the new distribution releases
.
