pollaidh:People, this looks like it could be a clue…@chimpsinsocks Amanda Abbington posted this on Twitter 18 hours ago, with the introduction: This is for lovers… running away. Which could possibly be interpreted entirely innocently, OR as “this is for lovers (of the show)… (I’m) running away now (before you start bombarding me with questions/insults).” OR “this is for lovers (of the show)… (who are now) running away from the ship.” Obviously I don’t believe in astrology (am a scientist) but might be a clue. Aries, at the top would correspond to John Watson, if we take one of his supposed birth dates as March 31st (July 7 (Cancer) and Aug 7th (Leo) have also been suggested but March 31st seems to be used in fandom).“Aries: An aries will be so closed off at first, you will wonder if they are into you at all. if their wall will ever come down. but it will, slowly, and once it does, there’s no going back. because they will look at you like you’re everything they’ve ever dreamed of and they will act stupid just to make you laugh.”Possibly referencing Sherlock’s “married to my work” moment in ASiP, the slooooow development, John’s looks at Sherlock and the fact John is supposedly the stupid one (but ‘cleverer than he looks’). The walls could refer to the walls in Eurus’ cell, the 4th wall, or god knows what else.Sherlock’s birthday (as shown in TLD) is Jan 6th or Jan 9th, either way makes him a Capricorn. We can see Capricorn also included in Amanda’s screenshot:“Capricorn: A Capricorn is a rare person to get through to, in a feelings type of way. So if you do, you’re special. they will always be laughing around you always ready for whatever you want to do. they’ll say all the things you want to hear, but they’ll really mean them.” Ahem. “rare person” I think it means it’s hard to access this person’s feelings. Sherlock would certainly qualify. “if you do” you’re special. John is Sherlock’s “only friend” back in HotB. Tessa’s “No, this is special, let’s take it slowly”, and John’s “I’m there if you want it.” Plus running to do whatever Sherlock wants, always. “They’ll say all the things you want to hear” - John’s constant praise which makes Sherlock preen like a cat, to the point he even hear’s John’s praise when John isn’t there (TEH).Further investigation:In the interests of science I did a reverse image search and it came back with NOTHING. This may be an indication that the piece was written for the purpose of sharing as a clue. Alternatively it could have been taken by Amanda from a print copy of something that is not on the web - and thus perfectly innocent.What about the other star signs? Star signs are written in such a way that they could apply to anyone - people will see what they want or expect to see in their horoscope. And unfortunately that’s true of this - some of the other horoscopes shown could also refer to Sherlock or John, though a couple - Virgo for example, doesn’t sound right at all.Interestingly Cancer and Leo which would also be possibly John star signs have: Cancer: “their admiration for you will never be questioned”, and Leo: “long texts..” “yours whenever you need them to be.” and follows up with “They will kiss you hard…”Could this be coincidence: “I’ll be next door if you need me” (ASiB) and “I’m there if you want it.” (TSoT)?Also worth mentioning Amanda followed up last night with three hearts and an Obama picture and the quote: “No one should be afraid to walk down the street holding hands with the one they love.” Which is very very definitely an LGBT reference. -- source link
