3 Zodiac Signs Always Getting in Their Own Way
A heated conversation with a friend or lover leaves you feeling very confused at the beginning of the week. You also might be feeling obsessed with a person or opportunity that's currently unavailable. On the 4th, Venus moves into Gemini improving your communications for the next few weeks.
This week's mantra: 'Hold.'
Have you been contemplating a big change to your appearance? Your ruling planet Venus is meeting up with radical Uranus encouraging rebellion in your self expression. Just make sure that the changes you make are adaptable. Venus moves into Gemini, the sign of duality, on the 4th, making it so you want many options in your personal style.
This week's mantra: 'Express.'
Try not to bite off more than you can chew. A project you thought would be simple gets blown totally out of proportion on the 29th. You thought you were changing a light fixture and now you're retiling the entire bathroom. Then on the 4th, Venus moves into your sign bringing good vibes and luck in love and connection for the next few weeks.
This week's mantra: 'Easy.'
Important money conversations reach a turning point on the 29th. You already have a good deal, but you might be tempted to keep pushing for more. Before asking though, check in with your values and make sure this is what you want, and not based on someone else's influence. Then on the 4th, Venus moves into Gemini signaling that the next few weeks are a great time to get lost in a book and take a break.
This week's mantra: 'Value.'
A challenging conversation with a loved one leaves you frustrated on the 29th. With Mercury going retrograde later in the month, this is a discussion that will have to be revisited, and you're realizing you may have to agree to disagree. Then on the 4th, Venus moves into Gemini encouraging more networking and socializing. If you open up, your ideas will find their audience.
This week's mantra: 'Share.'
The week begins with you taking a pause on something that demands much more time and attention than you currently have. With your ruling planet Mercury traveling through your unconscious sector until the end of August, this will be the first of many cues to take a step back. The more you focus on the process, the more you're recognized for this critical behind-the-scenes work.
This week's mantra: 'Pause.'
You may find yourself at the center of gossip as the week begins. With Mercury spending the next two months in your social sector, you're going to be learning a lot about who you can trust with information. On the 4th, your ruling planet Venus moves into Gemini allowing you to let go of the pettiness, and set your sights on something meaningful.
This Week's Mantra: "Rise."
This week finds you making tough decisions in both your personal and professional life. Stress at home has you reconfiguring your work schedule and vice versa. Many of these choices may also come from an overwhelming sense that you don't have the right support. Luckily Venus moves into your shared resources sector on the 4th boosting collaborations for the next month. Time to rally the team.
This week's mantra: 'Gather.'
This week brings some unexpected good news at work or relief from an obligation. Or maybe after weeks of training, you take a look at your stats and realize you're getting fit much faster than you thought. On the 4th, Venus moves into your relationship sector bringing good vibes and great conversations to your closest relationships. Share the joy.
This week's mantra: 'Adjust.'
Tread carefully when it comes to negotiations this week. You might be rushing to get what you think is the 'best deal' but with Mercury going retrograde later in July, any joint ventures you're initiating will soon be up for review. On the 4th, Venus moves into Gemini and your daily work sector bringing ease in office politics and routines.
This week's mantra: 'Review'
The power of persuasion is strong as the week begins. You're usually very firm in your own POV but a friend or lover convinces you to take a risk and step outside your comfort zone. Relationship dynamics of all kinds are a fertile ground for experimentation this summer, especially after Venus enters Gemini and your romance sector on the 4th.
This week's mantra: 'Risk.'
Sometimes when something isn't working, the only thing to do is reboot the entire system. This is how you solve a huge problem at your job or in your daily routines this week. Yes it's challenging, but it's better than running into the same frustrations over and over again. On the 4th, Venus enters Gemini bringing joy and fulfillment to your home and family life. It's also the perfect time to rearrange your home office or powder room.
This week's mantra: 'Settle.'

Mariska Hargitay on the Stunning Moment She Learned About Biological Dad: 'Jolt Went Through My Body'
Mariska Hargitay was 25 years old when she learned the stunning truth about her biological father from a man she had never met. The "Law & Order: SVU" star spoke with Alex Cooper on the June 25 episode of Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast about how she found out her biological father is Italian singer Nelson Sardelli, not Hungarian bodybuilder and actor Mickey Hargitay. Hargitay had journeyed to the home of Sabin Gray, a diehard fan of her late mother, actor and 1950s sex symbol Jayne Mansfield, to see his collection of Mansfield memorabilia. Hargitay, whose HBO documentary, "My Mom Jayne," comes out on June 27, ended the visit with a shocking realization. "It was a little overwhelming for me because there were life-size cutouts, and it was truly like a museum or a shrine to her," Hargitay said. "That was hard for me at that age to sort of understand. ... I'm seeing all this stuff that I had never seen and kind of grew up away from all of that." "He's showing me all these photos. He's showing me whatever it is, dresses that she had that he'd collected, earrings that she wore, things from movies from the movie set, props or whatever, and then he says to me, 'Do you want to see a picture of Nelson?'" she recalled. The question immediately unnerved Hargitay, who was 3 years old when her mother died in a car accident in 1967. "I just looked at him, and this jolt went through my body, and I said, 'Who's Nelson?'" she said. "And then I knew in one second." Hargitay remembered the blood draining out of Gray's face after asking her about Sardelli. "He sort of panicked and turned white, and he said, 'Oh, it's probably not true, it's probably not true,' and that's when I knew," Hargitay said. "And I think that (Gray) couldn't believe that I didn't know. I was 25, how could I not know?" Hargitay was then shown a picture of Sardelli. "On a cellular level, it was just like DNA talking to DNA," she said. "I knew it was true, and I just really thought my life was over." Hargitay was distraught as she departed Gray's home. "I remember leaving and driving to my brother's house, and I thought I was going to crash my car because I was so not present," she said. "I was totally dissociated and out of my body, and I got to my brother's house. I didn't even know how I got there, but I knew that I shouldn't be driving. It was crazy." Hargitay's world was upended. She was very close with Mickey Hargitay, who had raised her after Mansfield was killed in an accident in which Mariska and her two brothers, Zoltan and Mickey Jr., were also in the car. "The one thing I did have, the one thing that I was rooted in, the one thing that was my constant, was no longer mine," she said about realizing Mickey Hargitay was not her biological father. "And my identity was just smashed. It was like it broke in two." She struggled to deal with a "thousand pellets of hard truth." "(I'm) going, 'My brothers aren't my brothers, I'm not Hungarian, I'm not related to all my family that I grew up with in Hungary,'" she said. It started to make sense to her why during her childhood "everyone asked me if I was Italian." Once she drove to the home of one of her brothers, she asked him if he knew about Sardelli being her biological father. "I'm very, very, very, very close with my brother, and he didn't (know), so then that was also confusing," she said. "And then I went up to my dad's house, and I was hysterically crying and in a state." She said Mickey Hargitay was in the process of physically building her a home when she asked him about Sardelli. "So I drive up to the house that he is building me and confront him, and he was like, 'What? What are you talking about? Are you crazy? That's so not true,'" she said. "He kept saying, 'You look like my father, you look exactly like my father, you're a Hargitay to the end,'" she continued. "The irony is that I'm more like my dad than anyone in our whole family. Like, I am mini-Mickey, right? And so it was just a very extraordinarily painful moment. I say that this is the moment that I became an adult, and it's so visceral for me because I was in so much pain, I was so overwhelmed." Despite finding out the stunning truth about her bloodline, she did not press Mickey Hargitay on the issue. "I was so overwhelmed and I was in the 'me, me, me, me, oh, my gosh, my life is over,' and then looking at this man who's been nothing but loving to me and nothing but this amazing father to me, and I saw his pain," she said. "And I said, 'It doesn't matter what I feel. I love him. We're done here.' "And so I said, 'OK, thank you for telling me,' and I pretended that I believed him, and we never spoke of it again," she continued. "And then he used to say, even before he died, 'Remember when you thought that crazy thing?' And I go, 'I know, wasn't that nuts?'" Hargitay told Cooper she'll 'never know' the extent of Mickey's knowledge on the matter. 'I think that he integrated it in, 'This is my new reality,'' she said. 'He made a choice and that was his new truth. And whether it's true or not emotionally, it was his truth.' While she was managing her emotions with Mickey, Hargitay also was reeling at the thought that Sardelli had not acknowledged her as his daughter. "That was where the injury was," she said, "is, why wasn't I claimed? He must have known. He didn't care, he didn't love me, I wasn't worth it, I was nothing to him. He knew, he had to know that I was his daughter, and I wasn't worth it. I wasn't valuable enough, and that's what I lived with, is that I wasn't enough." "So having that feeling of, my mother left me and then again my father abandoned me was so hard to integrate or make sense out of," she added. At 61 years old, Hargitay said she now has the benefit of being able to view the situation with more wisdom. "I'm so grateful for this life to grow into the miracle of my story, and having this comprehensive understanding and getting the full perspective and now seeing that I had such a limited, teeny, teeny, teeny sliver of the truth (at the time)," she said.

Al Roker Says His Famous Catchphrase on the 'Today' Show Is an 'Homage' to This Family Member (Exclusive)
Al Roker tells PEOPLE his catchphrase — "Here's what's happening in your neck of the woods" — is a tribute to his grandfather, who often used those words His repeated use of the phrase began as a practical move: "I've got to say the same thing, so that the local stations know when to cut away," Roker adds Roker's wife, ABC News anchor Deborah Roberts, was also honored with an induction into the Silver Circle Honor Society — reserved only for those whose careers have spanned 25 years or moreAl Roker is opening up about the origins of his signature catchphrase.

As for career recognition he earned at the event, Roker describes the feeling as "very humbling," and attributed a portion of his success to talented individuals he's had the chance to work with along the way. "I think it's more the cumulative effect of just being able to see, being able to witness history both in front of and behind the camera — to watch things, how things have changed," he says. "And so I'm very thrilled." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.

So, when she got the call that she had been nominated, Roberts was "really pleasantly surprised, and shocked and honored." "I think, privately, I was not going to make a big deal of the fact that I've been in [this] more than 25 years," Roberts admits. "But you know what? It's a real journey, and it's an honor to be recognized for." Read the original article on People
