Your Weekly Horoscopes: June 29 to July 5, 2025
(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)
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.'

'Night Always Comes': Vanessa Kirby, Benjamin Caron Netflix thriller unfolds in a single night of desperation
Kirby's characters races through Portland, Oregon overnight to find $25,000 in this gritty new film Following their work together on The Crown, director Benjamin Caron and actor Vanessa Kirby have collaborated again on the Netflix film Night Always Comes, a thriller based on the book by Willy Vlautin. Set in Portland, Oregon, the movie takes place over one night as Lynette (Kirby) tries to secure $25,000 to buy her family's home, alongside her brother Kenny (Zack Gottsagen). "We had been looking for a project for a few years, and there were a couple that nearly happened, but for various reasons they didn't quite get over the line," Caron told Yahoo Canada. "I think [Vanessa] ... felt that the character of Lynette was something she wanted to play. ... I really wanted to make a stressful movie, and I thought this had the mechanics of that." Caron previously worked on the Apple TV+ series Sharper, a show that really utilized its New York location as a tool to tell a story that blended classic rom-com elements with a thriller. In Night Always Comes, the filmmaker tapped into the unique elements of working-class Portland. "I'm sort of well travelled in terms of the more recognizable cities in [the U.S.], and whether that's Los Angeles, whether that's Chicago or New York or Miami, and I'm also very familiar with those cities on screen. ... I was less familiar with some of the more mid-sized American cities, and Portland being one of those," Caron said. "I always think, as a filmmaker, it's great to come into somewhere and sort of look at a city through an outsider's perspective. But I don't think this story was necessarily unique just to Portland, ... the gentrification, the homelessness, it's something that I'm seeing happening all over, certainly the Pacific Northwest of America, and also not just America, but across the world." Caron added that he found Portland to be a particularly "filmic" city. "I loved all the bridges, I loved the river that ran through it," he said. "There was the fabric of this sort of old city, and then from the sort of middle of it ... you could see this urban gentrification that was starting to push out from the middle. So filmically, it felt like a really good city to put on screen." 'We believe that they exist before and after the film' A distinct element in Night Always Comes is that the film is told trough Lynette's perspective as we really take every step with her on her desperate journey to get her hands on $25,000. But with each character that Lynette meets, it feels like they have their own interesting experiences and histories they bring into this story. "I think in many ways, the entire film is not just Lynette, I think it's full of desperate people who are trying to get by, by doing desperate things," Caron said. "And I think that as a allegory for the whole film is really important." "I know it's really important to me, and also I know to actors, that I really want to take care of the characters and their journeys within the moments they are on screen. So we invited all of the actors to come in and work with us on making sure that these lives that they inhabit, ... they burn brightly. Not just in the film, but that we believe that they exist before and after the film." One of those characters is Scott, played by Randall Park, a wealthy former escort client of Lynette's who she reconnects with early in the film, hoping he would give her the money she needs to buy her family's home. "He wanted to make sure that the character wasn't just a two dimensional cheating husband, that there was a sort of an understanding about the pressures that character has in his life, ... even if it feels unfair to what we're seeing happening to Lynette," Caron said. "[Randall] relished that opportunity of bringing that character onto screen and it's a moment in the film where your heart just breaks. ... [Lynette] is so desperate in that moment where she's asking for something [that] probably isn't a huge amount of money to him. And he's sort of got the wrong end of the stick. He thinks she's come for something else. And ... when he just laughs it off, it just absolutely crushes your heart in that moment." Mother-daughter relationship 'you just don't see enough of' Another key relationship for Lynette is with her mother Doreen, played by Jennifer Jason Leigh. While Lynette had been coordinating with the property's landlord about the buying the home, she needed her mother to cover the downpayment. But Doreen ends up spending that money on a new car, which is what sets Lynette off on her quest to get the funds herself. "What I love about what Jennifer brought to that part is that, even at the beginning, you sort of feel that there's a mother there that has ... a 38-year-old daughter still living at home with her. And there's that sort of unspoken tension, energy in the air," Caron said. "I love the fact that she's not even able to really say these words to Lynette, that I just don't think we can together anymore, that the only way that she can do that is as a form of self-sabotaging herself by going out and buying the car." "But those two were just brilliant to watch as dancing partners on screen together. I think they brought a really unique mother-daughter relationship to screen that you just don't see enough of." 'A unique, modern tragedy' But at its core, Night Always Comes reflects larger concerns around economic challenges that many people face, including in Canada, from housing affordability issues to other cost of living challenges. "The idea of someone that's basically doing two or three jobs and not able to afford their own home is such a unique, modern tragedy," Caron said. "And I really wanted Lynette to represent the many Lynette's out there who are one paycheque away from collapse." "We did a lot of work at the beginning to try and establish the sort of economic pressures that were on Lynette, ... but also just understanding the bigger economic, social issues that were happening in and around Portland, and also across America. ... It felt like, yes, a story of Lynette, but also a story of that American working class. ... It was a story of those single moms. It was a story of those nurses, or those caregivers that were being priced out of the cities that they were helping to run."

Margaret Qualley awkwardly answers Taylor Swift album question
Margaret Qualley awkwardly answers Taylor Swift album question originally appeared on The Sporting News If you want new information on Taylor Swift's upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, you're not getting it from Margaret Qualley. The Maid star gave an awkward answer to whether she knew any details about her close friend's new project. "I don't know anything," Qualley said during an Aug. 14 appearance on the Today show. She took a long pause, seemingly to gather her thoughts, and added, "But we'll all be excited to listen to the music.' Qualley's husband, Jack Antonoff, is a frequent collaborator of Swift's as they worked on her albums: 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights. However, for The Life of a Showgirl project, she worked alongside producers Max Martin and Shellback. All three musicans previously worked together on hit records for Swift, including "Blank Space," "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," and "...Ready For It?" Swift spoke about how the album came together on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce. "When I was on tour in Stockholm, I had Max Martin come out to the show," Taylor explained during an Aug. 13 appearance. "I was talking to him and I was like, 'I just feel like we could knock it out of the park if we just went back in.'" "We've never actually made an album before where it's just the three of us," she continued. "It felt like catching lightning in a bottle, honestly." In addition to the production process behind the project, Swift shared that she wrote the album while she was on her record-breaking Eras Tour and was inspired by how she felt. 'This album is about what was going on behind the scenes of my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant,' she said. 'It just comes from the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life, and so that effervesence has come through on this record. And like you said, bangers." The Life of a Showgirl Tracklist 'The Fate of Ophelia' 'Elizabeth Taylor' 'Opalite' 'Father Figure' 'Eldest Daughter' 'Ruin the Friendship' 'Actually Romantic' 'Wi$h Li$t' 'Wood' 'CANCELLED!' 'Honey' 'The Life of a Showgirl' ft. Sabrina Carpenter While 13 is the singer's "lucky number" she shared that there will only be 12 songs and no bonus tracks. 'With 'Tortured Poets Department,' I was like here's a data dump of everything I thought, felt, experienced in two or three years. Here's 31 songs. This is 12,' she said. 'There's not a thirteenth, there's not other ones coming. This is the record I've been wanting to make for a very long time. I also wanted it to be every single song is on this album for hundreds of reasons, and you couldn't take one out and it be the same album, you couldn't add one and be… It's just right. 'That focus and that kind of discipline with creating an album and keeping the bar really high is something I've been wanting to do for a very long time,' she continued. 'I tend to write lots and lots of music, so it's a temptation to release lots of music. But oftentimes, I wanted to do an album that was so focused on quality and on the theme and everything fitting together like a perfect puzzle that these 12 songs for my 12th album, I feel like we achieved that and I'm really happy about that.'

The last dance? Organizers of North America's largest powwow say 2026 will be the event's final year
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — For decades, tens of thousands of people have descended upon Albuquerque for what is billed as North America's largest powwow, a celebration showcasing Indigenous dancers, musicians and artisans from around the world. Organizers announced Saturday that 2026 will be the last time the cultural event is held, saying via email and social media that it will end after 43 years without providing details on the decision. 'There comes a time,' Gathering of Nations Ltd. said in a statement. The official poster for the 2026 event features the words 'The Last Dance.' Organizers did not immediately respond to phone and email messages seeking comment. The New Mexico fairgrounds have hosted the powwow since 2017, but it's unclear whether the venue would be available for future events given that the state is considering redeveloping the site. There also has been criticism over the years by some Native Americans who said Gathering of Nations organizers were capitalizing on Indigenous culture. Organizers dismissed those claims, saying the money raised goes toward the expenses of putting on the event. While offering spectators a glimpse into Indigenous cultures, large powwows like the one in Albuquerque have become more commercialized events with prize money for dancing and drumming competitions. For some Native American leaders, it can be a struggle to keep traditional cultural practices and commercial powwows from being lumped into the same category. There have been efforts to focus on promoting smaller powwows that are held in tribal communities. At Gathering of Nations, the signature event is the grand entry, in which a colorful procession of dancers spirals into the center of an arena. Participants wear elaborate regalia — some with jingling bells and others with feathers — and dance to rhythmic drumming. The event also features the crowning of Miss Indian World, as well as horse parades in which riders are judged on the craftsmanship of their intricately beaded adornments or feathered headdresses and how well they work with their steeds.
