Love & Relationships
Capricorn, you're craving emotional depth today, and surface-level interactions won't cut it. If you're in a relationship, have a real conversation—it's the kind of day where something said softly can bring major clarity. Singles may feel drawn to someone mature, emotionally available, and intentional with their energy.
Career & Finances
Today favors tying up loose ends and refining long-term goals. You may be called to lead or offer guidance at work—and your composed approach earns you respect. Financially, it's a great time to assess big-picture goals or revisit an old financial plan with fresh eyes.
Health & Wellness
Energy levels are steady but may dip mid-day, so pace yourself. A walk outdoors or grounding activity will help stabilize your mood and energy. You're also more intuitive than usual—trust your body's cues.
Other Highlights
This is a powerful day to work on legacy goals or projects that align with your values. Your inner discipline helps you stay aligned with what really matters.

ACWA enters key deals to export green hydrogen, renewables to Europe

ACWA Power has signed agreements and memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with several international partners, aimed at creating a green hydrogen and renewable energy export value chain between Saudi Arabia and Europe. The agreements were signed in the presence of Saudi Arabia's Minister of Energy Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. The signing of these agreements and MoUs comes as part of Saudi Arabia's role in enhancing global logistics connectivity and its leadership in the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) project, driven by its strategic geographical location that connects East and West, said a statement. The agreements and MoUs were signed during the Renewable Energy and Green Hydrogen Export Workshop, led by ACWA Power under the supervision of the Ministry of Energy. The event brought together high-level government representatives from Saudi Arabia, Greece, France, and Germany, alongside executives from global specialized companies and leading national institutions. The workshop showcased the kingdom's progress in diversifying its energy mix and promoting regional and international integration in clean energy—reinforcing its position as a reliable global supplier of energy and a key leader in the economic corridor connecting East and West. A multi-party MoU was signed by ACWA Power with leading European companies, including Edison (Italy), TotalEnergies Renewables SAS (France), Zhero Europe (Italy), and EnBW (Germany). This MoU establishes a collaborative framework to assess the market demand and feasibility of developing large-scale renewable energy projects dedicated for export in Saudi Arabia and the creation of a corridor to deliver generated electricity to Europe, ACWA Power said. ACWA Power also signed individual MoUs aimed to strengthen the relationship with key players involved in the development of electricity corridors including the independent technical consultant CESI (Italy) and leading HVDC technology and cable providers, including Prysmian (Italy), GE Vernova, Siemens Energy (Germany), and Hitachi (France). These agreements aim to develop advanced energy transmission corridors that enhance supply reliability and the efficiency of cross-border energy infrastructure. Moreover, a Joint Development Agreement was concluded with German partner EnBW (Energie Baden-Württemberg AG) for collaboration on the first phase of the Yanbu Green Hydrogen Hub, which is planned to be ready for commercial operations by 2030. Yanbu Green Hydrogen Hub is foreseen as a fully integrated facility with its own captive electricity generation from renewable sources, desalination plants to feed its hydrogen electrolysis and ammonia conversion facilities, with a dedicated export terminal. The project leverages Saudi Arabia's unique potential to develop renewable energy at competitive rates, and to serve global industrial demand with clean energy solutions.

SelfDrive Mobility launches ‘Rent to Own' in the UAE with cars directly from the dealership

Latest service offers flexibility and customer control as customers can now move from rental to full ownership at any time within first 12 months from their rentals Dubai, United Arab Emirates – SelfDrive Mobility, a leading mobility tech company, has launched a disruptive 'Rent to Own' service, enabling UAE customers to seamlessly transition from renting to owning through fixed monthly payments, with zero hidden costs, no interest, and absolutely no paperwork hassles or security checks. Customers also have the flexibility to return or buy the car before their contract ends. Under this game-changing model, customers have the flexibility to drive a vehicle for a month before deciding whether to purchase it, offering a seamless transition from rental to ownership. Existing SelfDrive customers also have the option to upgrade their monthly rental plan to the Rent-to-Own model on select car models. All SelfDrive vehicles are dealer-maintained, and the purchase price includes insurance, replacements, servicing, and maintenance. Additionally, participation in the program does not impact the customer's credit history. According to a recent Global Media Insight report, 85 per cent of the UAE's 10 million-plus population is expatriates, with many residents maintaining lifestyles and work arrangements that do not align with traditional car ownership models. With more residents freelancing, working on short-term contracts, or enjoying flexible employment, creating new mobility solutions that meet evolving demands for flexible car ownership is key. Data from Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) shows commercial vehicle registrations surged by 43 per cent in 2024 compared to the previous year. The number of registered rental companies also increased by 33 per cent, while rental fleets expanded from 49,725 vehicles to more than 71,000. High-end rentals increased by 73 per cent and the number of EVs grew by 50 per cent. These changes indicate a clear shift toward premium and sustainable mobility options. SelfDrive Mobility's Rent-to-Own service directly responds to these trends, offering a new route to car ownership that combines the convenience of a rental with the security of purchase. Through the company's mobile application, customers can choose from 2024 and 2025 models, including popular sedans and SUVs from brands like Geely, Skoda, and Bestune. All with transparent pricing inclusive of insurance, maintenance, and customer support. Meeting UAE Residents' Evolving Mobility Needs The latest service enables customers to initiate a rental but have the option to purchase it at any point within the first 12 months, offsetting their monthly payments against the purchase price. Unlike traditional lease-to-own options, which often involve interest charges and unclear terms, SelfDrive Mobility's model is transparent and interest-free. The only non-refundable payment is the initial downpayment, which ensures commitment without penalising flexibility. 'The UAE's mobility landscape is rapidly changing,' said Soham Shah, Founder and CEO of SelfDrive Mobility. 'More than three million people in the UAE work in freelance or contracted roles, according to recent government employment statistics. These professionals need transportation solutions tailored to their unique requirements. 'Rent to own' provides customer control, clarity, and flexibility, with no hidden surprises.' The service also makes car ownership more accessible to younger demographics and new residents. According to a recent YouGov survey, nearly 60 per cent of UAE residents between the ages of 25-40 prefer flexibility. They want the ability to switch between short-term use and ownership without long-term financial commitments. Furthermore, the UAE Central Bank reported that more than 40 per cent of personal car loan applications were declined in the past two years due to strict credit checks and income verification. SelfDrive Mobility addresses this gap by eliminating financing requirements. To help customers evaluate their options, the company has launched a Rent-to-Own calculator exclusively on the website, allowing customers the opportunity to compare long-term rental costs with ownership, factoring in bundled services such as insurance and maintenance to help make informed decisions. Unlocking Car Ownership for a Wider Audience in the UAE Currently available exclusively in the UAE and with plans for regional expansion, SelfDrive is lowering traditional barriers to car ownership and empowering the country's diverse population to choose mobility on their terms. 'Rent to own' represents a forward-looking solution that supports the UAE's vision of tech-driven, accessible urban mobility for all. About SelfDrive Mobility: SelfDrive Mobility, established in 2017 in the UAE, has rapidly grown into a leading mobility tech company, offering smart mobility solutions with maximum flexibility. With operations across the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, KSA, the UK, Ireland, and Turkey, SelfDrive Mobility has served more than 1.5 million customers from 95 different nationalities. The platform provides unique access to more than 100 car models from 50+ renowned brands directly from dealerships, ensuring a perfect match for every customer's needs. Media Contact: Selfdrive@
