One star sign deals with financial stress on Thursday, June 5, while another struggles with a coworker.

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 have always been determined to succeed. You’ve got some crucial plans in mind for the months ahead, and you’re so confident in them that you won’t let anyone stand in your way. A wobbly project will benefit from having this level of persistence as a foundation for a stronger success.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

You are aware that someone you frequently sees is envious of your absence from their scheduled meetings. You will be more than happy to spend time with them once more once more once they understand that you have private matters to handle.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

You will assume that a partner or coworker is sluggish in their commitment to your ideas as a sign that they aren’t interested in getting involved. Because you believe in your ideas and are willing to take their place, you won’t let this deter you.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

The family will experience a brief period of tense. Helping a housemate develop a budget might ease their stress over money, especially if they are dealing with financial issues. Additionally, you have questions about your current relationship status. Conflicting emotions arise when someone divulges information about their past.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

When things go wrong, you might find yourself complaining without thinking about the cause of the situation. Someone could use your assistance to resolve these frustrations because circumstances that are beyond other people’s control will be the cause of these events.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

Life is getting more challenging. Relationships that used to be straightforward and straightforward now seem complicated and perplexing. You might be unsure of your decision to keep working in some areas. Keep in mind that you are not required to remain in a situation that is uncomfortable for you.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

You don’t get along with someone you work with actively, either professionally or informally. Your health is being impacted by your differences. You might find a reason to work independently if you refuse to break your commitments.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

It might seem as though some of the things you’ve done in the recent past were planned and determined by others. You now understand who is encroaching, and you are prepared to regain your balance and chart your own course.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

An event you were anticipating quickly turns out to be a huge disappointment. The organizers were simply eager to finish the arrangement, which was made in a hurry. You could have done a better job, and you’re more than willing to lead if something similar is planned in the future.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

A stale relationship has broken out. Give an exciting project you and your partner could work on if romance has lost its spark. Be imaginative. Let your imagination run, and you two might enjoy it a lot.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

You recently felt as though you lacked sway over your life due to circumstances or other factors. Your perspective is changing. You are beginning to make your own decisions and won’t let anyone control your actions. Remember that each day brings you closer to feeling stronger if you’re on the mend from an illness.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Financially, you have been having a difficult time. You’ve made a lot of money, but most of it is now going toward paying off old debts and paying daily expenses. You have some changes to make. You are owed money, which is on the way.

Adolescence actor Owen Cooper branded the US’s sweets and chocolates as “just terrible” this week.

The young star criticized the confectionery and even brought a bag of US treats as evidence during an appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show. The chocolate and the sweets are two things I detest about America, according to Owen, age 15. Cheetos and all that nonsense are all that. I detest it, really.

Jimmy had asked the teenager what he didn’t like about America as Owen has spent some time there promoting the Netflix drama, a second series of which is currently in talks. After his honest jibe, Owen lifted the basket to show the host his favourite sweets, which include Maltesers. They were first sold in the UK in 1937.

“Do you ever have a Malteser? ” Right, I’ll raise the entire basket. In the interview with NBC, Owen said, “This is what I brought [Monster Munch, Maltesers, and Fruit Pastilles]”.

The teenager from Warrington, Cheshire, argued that the brands were superior to most American sweets. The US has a long history of producing well-known confectionery labels, and the US market is expected to be worth $ 83.54 billion (£60 billion) in 2024.

In the late 19th century, sweets were made by hand in small batches and sold in local shops across the US. Then, the Hershey Chocolate Company – launched in 1894 – introduced the world to the first mass-produced milk chocolate bar. Following the Second World War, confectionery was frequently imported to the UK and elsewhere.

However, Owen’s fans online, who posted messages on social media, also have his opinions. The ideal cinema snacks are maltesers, minstrels, and beef minichips, according to one user. .Heaven In the US, nothing remotely comparable exists. Another, who appeared to be American, said, “He is completely correct. The food and drinks are terrible here. “Garbage in comparison to Europe” He is exactly as it was said by a third person.

Owen later revealed the large Hollywood star who has recently praised his work in an interview. Leonardo DiCaprio claimed to have left him a video message while he was with his on-screen father, Stephen Graham.

Leonardo DiCaprio is seated next to him in a video that Stephen Graham sent to me yesterday that said, “Hey Owen, I’m such a big fan of Adolescence. ‘… What! I thought, “What! “

Owen was widely praised for his leading role in the Netflix drama, but he had no huge acting experience prior to the gig. Instead, one of his big interests growing up was music, so much so he was nicknamed “my mini Harry Styles” by mum Noreen, who is a carer.

Fighting

  • According to Russian-installed officials, new Ukrainian drone attacks have affected energy infrastructure in southern Ukraine’s Zaporizhia and Kherson regions.

  • The Kremlin said that despite an explosion, the Crimean bridge, a major Russian-built rail and road bridge connecting Russia and the annexed Crimean Peninsula, was still intact.

talks on a ceasefire

  • After accusing Ukraine’s leaders of ordering a bombing attack in Western Russia on Saturday, which left seven people dead and 115 others injured, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he doesn’t believe they want peace.
  • The attack, which crossed a railroad line carrying passenger trains, was viewed by Putin as a “terrorist” plot to scuttle the peace talks.
  • Putin also stated in a phone call to Donald Trump that he would have to react to Ukraine’s Sunday drone attacks, which targeted Russia’s far-northern and Siberia-area bomber fleet.
  • Putin’s foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, claimed that in spite of Ukrainian attempts to “disrupt” them, the Russian leader said on the phone that the ceasefire talks “on the whole were useful.”
  • About 20 Russian warplanes were hit by a drone attack in Siberia, according to two unnamed US officials, about 10 of which were destroyed by Ukraine, according to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, president of Ukraine.
  • Following Ukraine’s drone attack over the weekend, Trump’s Ukraine envoy, Keith Kellogg, stated that the risk of an escalation was “going way up.”

Mexican Band Fined $36,000 For Glorifying Drug Cartels

By in Entertainment News, News

Authorities in the northern city of Chihuahua announced on Wednesday that a well-known Mexican band had been fined more than $ 36, 000 for their music.

Nearly a third of the band’s songs were “narcocorridos,” glamorizing drug traffickers, at a Los Tucanes de Tijuana performance on Saturday, according to city official Pedro Oliva.

In a television interview, Oliva referred to the songs as “glorified crime or alluded to the criminals who committed illegal acts.”

Los Tucanes were prohibited from performing in Tijuana, where they grew up, from 2008 to 2023 because of alleged yells at two drug traffickers.

The contentious subgenre of regional music is rapidly expanding outside of Mexico’s borders in a number of states across the nation.

According to Spotify, Peso Pluma, who combines corridos with rap and hip-hop, was the seventh most-streamed artist in the world in 2024.

In order to combat the influence of drug culture on young people, President Claudia Sheinbaum has rejected the idea of outlawing “narcocorridos.” Sheinbaum prefers to launch a music competition “for peace and against addictions.”

Los Alegres del Barranco’s visas were suspended by the US two months ago because they displayed images of a wanted drug lord at a concert.

Jessie J, born and raised in Chadwell Heath, east London, said in an Instagram video yesterday she has spent much of her recent time “in and out of tests”. She stressed, though, she is “holding on to the word ‘early'” and is looking at surgery in the coming weeks.

The musician, Jessica Ellen Cornish, who is actually her, claims she will still play at Wembley Stadium’s Capital’s Summertime Ball on Sunday, June 15. She joins Mariah Carey, Benson Boone, and Tate Mcrae as her fellow cast members.

Jessie J said in the Instagram video, “I just wanted to be open and share it… One, because I don’t talk about it enough, in my own selfish ways. Because I’m working so hard, I’m not getting through it.

I also understand how much sharing in the past has helped me because other people have shared their love, support, and personal stories with me. I’m a person of openness. That so many people are going through so much similar and worse is heartbreaking to me.

“It’s crazy but beautiful and it’s beautiful, and it’s given me this incredible perspective right now.” But to be honest, I need a hug and some reflection. You have supported me throughout all of my positive and negative experiences. And I’m not interested in this at all. “

The recipient of a cancer diagnosis is a life-changing experience for anyone, according to Claire Taylor, the chief nursing officer at Macmillan Cancer Support.

Donald Trump announces US travel ban on people from 12 countries

By in News, World News

According to The Associated Press news agency, US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that prohibits citizens from traveling in all 12 nations and restates citizens from seven.

Afghanistan, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen are among the nations that are prohibited.

People from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela will also experience more stringent restrictions in addition to the ban, which goes into effect on Monday.

In his directive, Trump said, “I must act to safeguard the United States’ national security and its interests.”

Trump claimed in a video message that the White House had “understood the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreigners who are not properly vetted” that the recent attack on a pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colorado had “underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreigners.”

According to the president, “millions and millions of these illegals should not be in our country.”

We can’t, in any country, allow open migration from any country where we can safely and reliably vet and screen those who enter the United States, he said, adding, “We will not let what happened in Europe happen.”

We won’t permit foreigners who want to harm our nation.

Trump signed an executive order mandating citizens of seven predominantly Muslim nations’ countries, including Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, during his first term in office.

People from the countries whose names were cited were either denied entry to the US on their flights or held hostage at US airports upon landing. Tourists, visitors to friends and family, businesspeople, students and faculty members in US institutions, and others.

The Supreme Court upheld the order in 2018, which prohibited categories of travellers and immigrants from Iran, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, and Libya, as well as North Korean and some Venezuelan government officials and their families. The order was frequently referred to as the “Muslim ban” or the “travel ban.”

Trump argued that the initial travel ban was intended to safeguard the US and that it was not anti-Muslim, and that it was justified by the president’s assertions. Trump’s first campaign for the White House had pushed for a Muslim travel ban, though.
