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’ll occasionally wish you hadn’t made as many commitments. A little more breathing room and more free time would be nice. You don’t seem to have any other choice but to take on new responsibilities, even though you may not be.
Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)
Not everything is as perfect as it could be. Even so, the majority of negative experiences are likely to last a long time. Take, for instance, finances. This will not be the best time to make purchases or sales because of the tight budget.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Your strong opinions on particular issues, whether they are related to finances, family issues, or your own sense of urgency, indicate that you are determined to keep things moving forward. To persuade others to understand your point of view, it might take a lot of convincing. perseverance

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
The diet may be taking a backseat today if you’ve recently started to watch your weight. There are times when the temptation to eat delicious and delicious food is too great to resist. Even though you are aware that you will later find this irksome.
Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)
You hoped for more, but nothing seems to be simple. It can feel like you’re navigating through treacle at times. You and other people are having a difficult time making any progress. Progress seems to beelusive, whether you’re working independently or with a partner.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)
A friend is experiencing difficult times. You’ll want to be there for them because you’ve had similar experiences. At the same time, you’ll end up feeling worn out by the experience. Try to avoid having a negative impact on other people’s well-being.
Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)
You can start the day off in high spirits with little effort. Someone will be interested in learning about your worries. You may not want to worry them about an issue or joint venture, but you don’t want to.
Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)
After a busy few days at the office, you and your coworker are starting to develop a strong rapport. You have more in common than just your work, though. When you occasionally feel as though you can read other people’s minds, you will connect on other levels as well.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)
Knowing that your partner and close friends have the same future dreams always makes you feel good. You might initially be enthralled by a loved one’s enthusiasm, but it might also become increasingly uneasy. Although you are drawn to unknown possibilities, you will choose to pursue them independently.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)
You might not be successful at a job you are working at. You won’t have anticipated any issues with this, so you’ll be surprised. You will have valid grounds to believe someone is undermining your efforts if you are a member of a team. It won’t be simple to demonstrate this.
Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)
Extreme jealousy limits your freedom due to a loved one’s extreme jealousy. You’ll be asking yourself whether it’s time to leave this relationship because of their attempts to restrict your freedom or the ultimatum they have. Do so carefully because their mood fluctuates.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Sometimes people use foul language, but it will eventually fade away. This is a good time to look for new opportunities if you can identify areas of your life that could be improved. They won’t just approach you. You must conduct a thorough search for them.

In the course of three days-long festivities this week, Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos are scheduled to tie the knot on the remote island of San Giovanni Evangelista in Venice.

Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sánchez are to finally tie the knot – despite concerns wedding crashers are poised to strike.
Protesters with Greenpeace and the UK-based activist group Everyone Hates Elon (EHE) are braced to express their fury at the extravagant affair, which will see 200 guests enjoy a pre-wedding gala dinner tomorrow night and then several other festivities across three days.
Mr Bezos, 61, has already had to amend plans, though, because Venice residents have threatened to blockade the city’s historic canals with inflatable crocodiles. They are so unhappy the billionaire “will shutting down Venice” that Mr Bezos has scrambled to move the ceremony itself from the 16th-century Scuola Grande della Misericordia to Arsenale, a vast, fortress-like complex of shipyards and warehouses once used to build Venetian warships.
The star is determined for the occasion to go ahead without any further snags as he has been dating Miss Sánchez, a news reporter, for some seven years. It is likely no challenges will arise once the 200 guests, including Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner, descend on the tiny island of San Giovanni Evangelista for Thursday’s dinner. Just 11 people live on the island and its only dwelling is a modest five-bedroom home, previously the guesthouse to a convent which was part of a long-destroyed monastery complex.

However, EHE and Greenpeace protesters posted a huge 20x20m message close to the location of Mr. Bezos’s planned marriage on mainland Venice, where the majority of the guests will stay and board a boat to the island.

The banner, in the city’s famous St Mark’s Square, reads: “IF YOU CAN RENT VENICE FOR YOUR WEDDING YOU CAN PAY MORE TAX.” The groups complain Mr Bezos, a father of four, is the second-richest man in the world yet is reported to pay a 1.1% true tax rate.
Jeff Bezos can afford to shut down a city for days on end just to get married, according to a spokesperson for EHE. He spent millions on an 11-minute space trip just a few weeks ago. This is the one thing that billionaires like Bezos should pay their wealth taxes if there ever was one.
There are more billionaires than ever in the world, despite the struggles of the average person to pay their bills. These two things are undoubtedly related because we are paying a premium for them. Tax billionaires like Jeff Bezos are now doing it, not rocket science.

The billionaire, according to some, reportedly anticipated the negative feedback by utilizing San Giovanni Evangelista as an emergency precaution to avoid any unintended fuss. This is a wise decision, according to a wedding planner who spoke yesterday. Wonderful, very clever, and not obvious.
But another source told Mail Online they believe Mr Bezos to be “unlucky”, having ended up “picking [one of] the worst days to get married”. They alluded to the conflict between Iran and Israel which remains tense despite Donald Trump’s claims a ceasefire was reached on Monday.

And Mr Trump was expected at the wedding but, due to the tensions in the Middle East, it is anticipated the Republican leader will miss the ceremony on Friday. The guest list is, though, full of stars from across the world, notably in wealthy showbusiness circles.
The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TDA), which the administration of President Donald Trump has used as justification for its immigration crackdown, has received a sanction from the US Treasury Department.
Giovanni Vicente Mosquera Serrano was indicted by the Department of Justice, according to a statement released on Tuesday by the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.
Mosquera Serrano is accused of terrorism and drug trafficking, according to court documents that were unreleased. A $3 million reward was also offered for information that led to his arrest or conviction, making him one more off the FBI’s list of the “ten most wanted.”
Under Mosquera Serrano’s leadership, Tren de Aragua was accused in a statement of “terrorizing our communities and facilitating the flow of illicit narcotics into our country,” according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
The Trump administration’s most recent attempt to combat criminal activity, which it claims is related to the growth of foreign gangs and criminal networks in the US.
Tren de Aragua and other Latin American gangs were earlier categorized as “foreign terrorist organizations,” a term that is more frequently used to describe international organizations with violent political objectives by the Trump administration.
Trump, however, has justified using emergency powers during his second term by the threat of international criminal networks.
For instance, the Trump administration claims that Nicolas Maduro’s government and Tren de Aragua are cooperating with the US. The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a rare wartime law, was then used to support that claim.
Trump cited the Alien Enemies Act as the legal justification for the alleged gang members’ expedited deportations, contending that the presence of organizations like Tren de Aragua constituted a foreign “invasion” on US soil.
More than 200 people are still imprisoned in El Salvador’s highest-security prison, many of whom are still there today.
Along with a slew of legal challenges, those deportations have received a lot of negative feedback. The expedited deportations violated immigrants’ rights to a fair trial, according to critics. Additionally, they made a point of noting that many deported men had criminal records.
Some of the men’s attorneys claim that their tattoos and wardrobe choices give the impression that they were imprisoned. However, that claim has been refuted by the Department of Homeland Security.
At least one senior US official acknowledged that Tren de Aragua may not be directed by Maduro’s administration.
The idea that Venezuela was in charge of the gang’s movements in the US was also questioned by an Office of the Director of National Intelligence memo from April that was obtained by news outlets like NPR and The New York Times.
Instead, the memo stated that Tren de Aragua is likely to be viewed as a threat by the Maduro government.
The Maduro regime probably does not have a policy of cooperating with TDA and is not directing TDA movements to and operations in the United States, the memo reads.
The US and Colombia jointly offered multimillion dollar reward programs for information that led to the arrest of Mosquera Serrano and two other men allegedly guiding Tren de Aragua in July.
According to a statement from the Treasury Department, the group “engaged in diverse criminal activities, including human smuggling and trafficking, gender-based violence, money laundering, and illicit drug trafficking” in the same month as a transnational criminal organization.
According to the US National Transportation Safety Board, Boeing failed to provide adequate training, guidance, and oversight to stop a new 737 MAX 9 flight’s midair cabin panel blowout in January 2024, which caused the company to experience a significant crisis.
The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) oversight of Boeing’s safety culture, the failure to install four key bolts in a new Alaska Airlines MAX 9 during production, and other issues were harshly criticized by the board on Tuesday.
The incident, according to NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy, was entirely avoidable because the planemaker had been doing it for at least ten years after numerous internal audits, reports, and other forums.
According to Homendy, “Boarders and the FAA should have been aware of the safety issues that caused this accident.” No one died or suffered serious physical injuries, according to the author. “It’s nothing short of a miracle.”
The NTSB noted that Boeing’s on-the-job training was lacking, adding that the company is working on a design change that will make sure the door plug cannot be closed until it is securely secured.
The US Department of Justice determined that Boeing had broken the terms of a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement and opened a criminal investigation following the accident. Within a few months of the midair panel blowout, CEO Dave Calhoun announced he would step down.
Kelly Ortberg has his work cut out for him, Homendy said, and it will take time to accomplish that.
Boeing expressed regret over the collision and was working to improve safety and quality throughout its operations.
Since the Alaska Airlines door-plug accident, the FAA has fundamentally altered how it controls Boeing, according to a statement released on Tuesday from the FAA, and it will continue to do so.
reputation damaged
The FAA has imposed a production cap of 38 planes per month, which is still in place, as a result of the incident, which severely damaged Boeing’s reputation.
The FAA added that while Boeing is progressing, it won’t increase the 737 monthly production cap until it is certain that it can maintain safety and quality while producing more aircraft.
The Boeing company still isn’t aware of the involvement of the 737 MAX 9 door plug, a piece of metal that looks like a door covering an unfilled emergency exit, or its re-installation during production, according to NTSB, which released the information on Tuesday.
In June 2024, former FAA administrator Michael Whitaker claimed that Boeing’s oversight was “too hands off” and that the agency has increased the number of inspectors at the factories for Spirit AeroSystems and Boeing.
Following two fatal 737 MAX crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia, Boeing agreed to pay a criminal fraud conspiracy charge in July. However, it reached a plea deal with the US Justice Department to avoid a guilty verdict last month.
The agreement, which will prevent Boeing from pleading guilty or facing oversight by an outsider monitor, has been requested by the Justice Department.
The country’s power system is hampered by the heatwave that is currently engulfing two-thirds of the country with record-setting temperatures.
The power company that runs New York City, Con Edison, urged residents to conserve electricity on Monday. As it performed repairs, it reduced the power supply to Brooklyn by 8%, and it did the same for Brooklyn and Queens, both yesterday. Additionally, thousands of people lost power as a result of the strain on the power grid.
Nearly all of the East Coast and Midwest, including Virginia and New Jersey, have experienced comparable outages. After severe thunderstorms late last week, power went out for thousands of customers in Philadelphia and Cleveland, and it hasn’t been restored because the area is battling high temperatures.
Due to the heat on the routes that passed through Washington, Philadelphia, and New York, Amtrak, the national railroad company, reported delays on Tuesday.
Power grid issues
The US power infrastructure is in danger due to this heatwave, which is highlighting.
In the most recent annual assessment from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), parts of the Midwest, Texas, New England, and southern California are rated as having insufficient power reserves to operate in “above-normal” conditions.
In recent years, power grid strains have increased significantly. There were 60% more heat-related power outages between 2014 and 2023 than there were ten years prior, according to a report from Climate Central, which was released last year.
The US power grid is under new, growing pressures, including the prevalence of artificial intelligence data centers and the energy required to power them. Dominion Energy warned that northern Virginia’s data centers used up so much energy that it might not be able to maintain the rising demand in 2022.
As generative AI booms become more prevalent, that strain will only continue to grow on AI data centers. By 2030, the demand for power from AI server farms is anticipated to increase by 12 percent.
A cyberthreat from Iranian-backed “hacktivists” could target the US power grid at a vulnerable point, according to CNN’s report. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the US power grid cyberthreat sharing center has been checking the dark web for threats since it issued a warning on Sunday about potential cyberattacks.
According to the advisory, “hacktivists and Iranian government-affiliated actors frequently launch disruptive cyberattacks against US networks and Internet-connected devices in poorly secured areas.”
Hacktivists linked to Iran launched a water authority attack in Pennsylvania in 2023 with little success. US authorities discovered that hackers affiliated with Iran were responsible for cyberattacks on US healthcare facilities in 2024.
