Artist Molly Soda and the anonymous Twitter account @sosadtoday collaborated on a project titled PERMASCOPES: This is Your Horoscope Every Day of Your Life.

They came up with the idea of a "permascope": each Zodiac sign needs one permanent piece of advice, not a new monthly prediction.

Like, each sign needs to read the same piece of advice every day.
