I’ve changed the theme to one I knew was very customizable in terms of colors, and given it a rough approximation of LW’s color palette. It should be significantly more readable now, but I’m still open to changing it if there are any other issues or suggestions.
General suggestion: light text should go on dark backgrounds and vice versa. When I see difficult-to-read text in PowerPoint presentations that my classmates give, it’s almost always because they didn’t do this.
Huge text, like the “Actually Useful Horoscopes” title, doesn’t have to follow this rule, but it doesn’t hurt, either. Try making the title lighter and the background darker, or vice versa.
Qualification: Whether a given color is “light” or “dark” for these purposes depends on the display medium (monitor (including brightness), projector, paper, …), and the text size and viewing distance.

I changed the title to use the lighter green that’s used for some of the backgrounds.
I may, in the long run, wind up replacing the title text with a graphic.
