Cool submission!, Lines 18-23 are the core of your algorithm so let’s put those lines into a function:

def horoscope(zodiac_sign: int, day: str = "today") -> str:
    url = ('https://www.horoscope.com/us/horoscopes/general/'
           f'horoscope-general-daily-{day}.aspx?sign={zodiac_sign}')
    soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).content, 'html.parser')
    return soup.find('div', class_= 'main-horoscope').p.text

Then move all the input() and print() code into __main__. This would allow someone else to easily put your algorithm into a bigger project. print(horoscope(8))
