One star sign’s love life becomes complicated as a Sunday comes to an end, while another appreciates a surprise from a loved one.

There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

You reached a emotional turning point as a result of recent relationships. You now need to consider your future choices carefully. What you think is appropriate might not be what someone else expects of you. It may be possible to reach a compromise, but it will still be difficult.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

Why do so many people seem to be chasing after you? You’ll feel exhausted and overwhelmed as you put on so much work. If you can’t see everyone, they will just have to wait until you’re available, so take it slowly.

Continue reading the article.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

Keep in mind that a subject you’d like to discuss might be sensitive. Even so, it is preferable out in the open, and you will realize the problem wasn’t as difficult as it first appeared to be. Discuss it with someone else about whatever is bothering you.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

You have to consider a recent incident. You may have to try to forgive someone for the harm they have caused you, but you also know you’re upset with them. If you can let go of the past, you will experience a great sense of renewal.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

Your thoughts will be more advantageous to you to share them than to keep them bottled up inside. Even in this situation, sharing ideas might give you the impression that you’re beginning a solid friendship or even a romantic relationship. You’ll be entertained for hours during conversations.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

You’ll quickly realize that your more relaxed friends don’t share your thoughts. When it comes to creating social plans, you can’t quite match their enthusiasm. Some concepts don’t appeal to you very much. Insist they proceed without your consent and continue doing whatever they want.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

Self-care always feels good. You might find it advantageous to indulge in some minor luxury. Friendships made today may have a significant impact. If you decide to pursue a particular relationship further, it will turn out to be rewarding.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

Set aside chores and responsibilities where necessary so you can concentrate on your favorite activities. You will respect a shy friend’s refusal to attend a large social gathering, but you will still go and will cherish every moment.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

Although you may not want to admit it, romance is getting more complicated. Although some dreams can be fulfilled, it’s wise to be selective about what you actually desire. You might start to wonder if a wish is actually being made into reality as you watch.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

You want to be happy with your partner or close friend. Their friendship, care, and support make you feel happy, but you can’t help but feel encouraged. Spending time with people who share your values and beliefs will be beneficial. You’re single, right? Soon, you’ll have a truly special person to spend your time with.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

This is a great time to take care of yourself and to stop worrying about what other people might think. Use this opportunity to discover fresh viewpoints. There is a lot to look forward to. Just keep in mind that everything should be moderately enjoyed.

Continue reading the article.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

You have a friend or partner making special plans for you. They are dedicated to your best interests and care about you. You won’t let them know that your ideas might not be exactly in line with your preferences. After all, the thought is what really counts.

ABBA’s Björn asked ‘Am I doing the right thing?’ over 28-year age gap relationship

After working on the group’s most recent album, “Voyage,” Björn Ulvaeus remarried in 2024 with a “much younger” woman he met while working on their most recent album, “Voyage,” he met her again.

ABBA’s oldest member, 79-year-old Björn Ulvaeus, has revealed that he initially felt “troubled” and had serious issues over his 28-year age gap relationship with his wife Christina Sas, 52.

Björn married Christina last year, after first meeting in 2021 while Björn was working on ABBA’s most recent album, ‘Voyage’. The star-studded ceremony marked the singer-songwriter’s third marriage, following his divorce from his former wife of 42 years Lena Kallersjo in 2022.

The private ceremony with 130 guests was officiated by comedian Sandi Toksvig, who later told the Sunday Times: “Christina, his new wife, is Danish, and I was able to conduct the service with some Danish, some Swedish and some English.”

Toksvig quickly responded, “No,” when asked if Björn’s bandmates Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad had attended.

Eight months after his new marriage, Björn broke his silence and opened up about his age gap relationship to The Times, saying that it was “love at first sight” when he met Christina in 2021, while still married.

The ABBA singer described how their age difference caused her to experience inner turmoil. He continued, “I immediately experienced serious issues with myself and the age difference.

When a man or woman meets a woman who is much younger and falls in love, they ask, “Am I doing the right thing?” “

Björn later admitted that he had given up “on letting it trouble him” and was unable to determine what was right.

The musician realized Christina was in charge and said, “It’s up to her if she wants to live with someone older and we love each other.”

We rarely even discuss it because age doesn’t stand in our way right now.

While the soon-to-be-80-year-old star is enjoying his new life, ABBA’s virtual “Voyage” residency is scheduled to hold his holographic likeness until 2029.

In his interview, Björn cautioned against “that remains to be seen. You never know when we will be able to stay in our current location through 2029, but ticket sales may drop.

Jarvis Cocker’s ‘life became dark’ after storming Michael Jackson’s BRITs performance

Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker made headlines in 1996 when he entered the stage to perform Earth Song by another singer, Michael Jackson.

Musician Jarvis Cocker has said that “life became dark” after he stormed the stage during a performance by Michael Jackson at the BRIT Awards over two decades ago. He’s said that the aftermath was “difficult” for him to handle.

The incident happened at the music awards ceremony in 1996, where Michael performed Earth Song. It was later suggested that the late singer, who was joined on stage by a group that included children, portrayed himself as a “Christ-like figure with the power of healing” in the performance.

Jarvis, now 61 – who’s a member of the rock band Pulp – is said to have headed onto the stage during the performance in “protest”. It’s been reported that he pretended to ‘moon’ the audience and footage shows him making what’s been described as a “wafting gesture” during his stunt on stage.

As previously reported, Jarvis was accused of “harming” three children who were on stage at the time. However, he wasn’t prosecuted though and that all charges were dropped.

In an interview that was released this week, Jarvis reflected on the incident. Before leaving the stage, the outlet claimed that after running on stage, he “waggled his behind” and “lifted up his jacket.”

He continued, “At first, it seemed bad: they accused me of abducting kids off stage and stuff, and I had a bare bottom as well, which wasn’t true. He added that “everyone” was aware of who he was after the incident.

Jarvis said to Mojo: “I’d always wanted to be famous, but you can’t decide on the level of fame that you’re going to get, and that sent me into an overload of it.” He added that it was for a “quite out-of-character thing” rather than for his music.

The former radio host claimed that when things “couldn’t go out” anymore, they became “really difficult to handle.” Before adding, “It took me a long time to go into, over ten years for sure,” he claimed that “life became dark.” However, Jarvis claimed he “did it,” so he “can’t complain.”

Jarvis has previously spoken about the incident and the aftermath. He told the New York Times in 2020 that he suddenly became “crazily recognised”. He told the outlet that he wasn’t “equipped” for the level of fame that he experienced.

After sharing that it had a “detrimental effect” on his mental health, Jarvis said that he was “saved” by the late David Bowie. He said: “There was an accusation that I’d knocked some kids off the stage. I’d been arrested. The only footage that’d been released was like a CCTV camera, and you couldn’t see what was happening.”

He recalled that David was present with his own camera crew for the BRIT Awards that year while receiving a lifetime achievement award. According to Jarvis, the charges were dropped after their release days later when they released their footage. He claimed that it was one of the things he “grated” David for.

Celebrity Big Brother star Chris Hughes stunned viewers with an admission over house pal JoJo Siwa. As the pair spoke to each other in bed, the Love Island star confessed he “would” kiss the reality TV star, despite her having a partner.

When the duo joked they could share a kiss, they were talking about the Lady and the Tramp spaghetti scene. Chris pretended to kiss JoJo’s lips while keeping her eyes closed, but instead he touched her with his finger and kissed her forehead.

She responded, “I know,” before laughing and saying, “Sucks to be you. I guess I’ll have to go kiss you.” Chris then admitted that he “probably would” kiss her.

Chris continued, “No, just saying I probably would, that’s all.” Simply put, it’s just a compliment.

Daley Thompson, the most recent victee, responded when he was asked if he was surprised by Chris’ comment. “No, I am not shocked,” he replied. Do you watch in there at night because you see so much more than I see?

Did you see me getting up and using the restroom, he added? Are those two in the same bed, though, occasionally when I wake up in the middle of the night?

Then, Will said, “They do spoon and talk a little.”

On Twitter/X, viewers shared their thoughts on the moment. One user wrote: “Chris said he wants to kiss JoJo and when she said “sucks to be you” he started putting lip balm on and reiterated “yeah just saying I probably would, it’s a compliment that’s all” #CBBUK #CBBLL.”

Another person called Chris saying that he wants to kiss Jojo and that she should take it as a compliment. “I’m not here for this #cbbuk #cbbll,” she said.

Chris and JoJo have had a firm friendship since entering the Big Brother house. While their bond has raised questions among viewers, Chris’ brother Ben was quick to defend his sibling . Chris and JoJo have been raising eyebrows with their friendship as viewers watched as they massaged each other, danced together and cuddled in bed.

Chris’ brother, who appeared on the spin-off series Late and Live on Thursday, claimed the dance moms icon and the Love Island star simply have the “identical energy.” He then explained how they have gotten so close since the show’s debut earlier this month.

He asserted that Chris and JoJo’s friendship stems from their shared energy and obvious friendship.

Donald Trump dealt major blow as Elton John makes huge announcement

Elton John and co-star Brandi Carlile have collaborated to reduce the $450 million (£339 million) funding for HIV and AIDS research, as a result of Donald Trump’s administration’s recent reduction in that amount.

Sir Elton John has expressed outrage over Donald Trump’s significant cuts to the federal budget for HIV research, emphasising that care for the condition should be “prioritised and protected”. The cuts have resulted in the elimination of at least 145 grants, totalling over £339 million.

In response, Elton John and Brandi Carlile, a collaborator, have joined forces to launch the Who Believes in Angels campaign, which is aimed at addressing the urgent global humanitarian crisis brought on by recent cuts in funding for HIV/AIDS in the United States.

The duo will match donations from the public to increase the impact of this initiative, which is named after their new chart-topping album. The campaign will be led by Brandi’s Looking Out Foundation and the Elton John AIDS Foundation, whose goals are to prevent a “global health crisis.”

The superstar singer launched the Elton John AIDS Foundation back in 1992 and it has become a leader in the global response to HIV. Since 1992, the foundationhas raised more than $600 million to support over 3,100 projects in 95 countries globally to increase access to health care, tackle LGBTQ+ stigma, and end AIDS.

In a statement Sir Elton John stated: “Without prompt action, decades of progress in the global fight against HIV could be reversed, creating a global health crisis that we have both the power and the tools to prevent.” He further highlighted the importance of their mission, saying: “Our mission is more important than ever – we refuse to leave anyone behind – and I’m so fortunate that Brandi is not only a wonderful collaborator and artist, but a dear friend who shares my vision of a world where HIV care is prioritised and protected.”, reports the Express.

To support scientists in their quest for a breakthrough in preventing HIV transmission and improving the quality of life for those affected by the condition, Elton and Brandi have set an ambitious goal of raising at least £1 million.

The UK’s Labour party has set a bold goal to eradicate all new HIV cases by 2030, and they’re planning to unveil an action plan this coming July. Demonstrating his commitment to the cause, Keir Starmer took a public HIV test, marking him as the first G20 leader to do so and raising the profile of HIV awareness significantly.

However, Donald Trump’s recent funding cuts raise significant questions about whether they will hinder global progress and possibly prevent the UK from achieving its ambitious goal of preventing new HIV transmissions.

Let’s keep the momentum going and donate now, Brandi’s foundation announced in response to the urgent need for support. “Every donation will be matched by LOF, up to $100, 000, double your impact to protect HIV prevention and care services across the U.S. and around the world.

For those inspired to contribute, donations can be made via the Looking Out Foundation’s website, detailed here for reader convenience.

Daley Thompson leaves Celebrity Big Brother fans stunned after Will Best jibe

Daley Thompson, a famous Big Brother star, was quick to criticize show host Will Best after he was the third star to be expelled from the renowned ITV house.

Viewers of Celebrity Big Brother were stunned by Daley Thompson’s exit interview. The former Olympian became the third housemate to be evicted from the ITV house – and the fourth in total following Mickey Rourke’s early exit.

However, after coming out of the house to a mix of boos and applause, Daley sat down with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best. As they had back and forth in the exit interview, Daley repeatedly told the duo they should try a stint in the house at some point.

On one occasion, Will responded by telling the sportsman he doesn’t think he is famous enough to be involved in the lineup. Brutally, Daley jibed back in agreement. And his comments were quickly picked by viewers at home who took to X, formerly known as Twitter to share their shock at his bluntness.

One user claimed, “Way Daley just rinsed Will!” A skull and crossbones emoji followed one further, “OMG not Daley telling CBB host Will Best that he’s not famous enough for #CBBUK”, while another added, “OMG not Daley telling CBB host Will Best that he’s not not known enough for #CBBUK.”

A fourth apparently agreed, saying, “Daley you rude b*****d leave Will Best ALONE #CBBUK,” while another fumed, “Wow daley don’t be coming for ar will best #CBBUK.”

He stated in his exit interview that he was “quite happy to come out” despite having wished for more time. No matter what goes on there, the public is a lot out there, he claimed. He continued, “They have been funny, revealing, and great people,” adding that he had not “high hopes” for his housemates.

He went on to reflect on other housemates games on Late and Live. Daley said he wasn’t trying to win and added: “It’s not something I had any control over.

While all the people in there are all performative artists, there are some professional reality stars, and if you practice doing that consistently, you will know how to play the game. All you can do, I believe is, all I could do is try to be who I am.

The eviction followed Ella Rae Wise being tasked with being catty and mocking her fellow housemates. She initially said she would find the task difficult as she is not normally mean.

She got to work though and went around her fellow housemates to dish the dirt. She hit out at Daley Thompson winning “only” two medals before telling Jack P Shephard his Coronation Street character should be killed off as he doesn’t do much.

She also mocked Chris Hughes for getting to the Love Island final before telling Chesney Hawkes she didn’t recognise his number one music hit.

Sadly, she fell short of her obligations after disclosing her behavior and making people suspicious. When Jimmy Chestney questioned, “Do you believe Ella is on a task?” Danny Beard responded, “Yes, she’s got to be catty, play along guys.”

Angellica Bell and Jack P. Shepherd had to get home all the milk out of the house without being caught by their coworkers. Where else,
