Profiles of other users are not accessible through the public Graph API.

If you run facebook-cli help api it will show you how to look up page metadata. I doubt there's a horoscope field for a page though.

I think it would be desirable to be able to retrieve information associated with a personal profile through the Facebook Graph API, at least insofar as you are officially connected to that person on Facebook or they have indicated that they'd like to publicly share that information.

However, the Graph API does not provide that functionality, which restricts what you can do with facebook-cli. The readme has links to more information regarding the limitations of the public Graph API that Facebook is making available, with the main intention of making it possible to integrate third party applications with certain aspects of the Facebook experience.

If there's anything you can do with the Graph API, the facebook-cli api utility could assist you. However, I don't have full knowledge of what is possible. Feel free to experiment.
