Zodiac signs that are great at telling lies
In astrology, every zodiac sign has its strengths and weaknesses. While honesty is a valued trait, some signs are naturally better at bending the truth when needed. Whether it's to avoid conflict, protect themselves, or simply charm their way through situations, certain zodiac signs are more skilled at telling lies convincingly.
This doesn't always mean they lie with bad intentions—it can sometimes be about adaptability or cleverness.
Gemini
Gemini is often considered the most skilled liar of the zodiac. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, Geminis are quick thinkers and excellent talkers. They can easily switch stories, change tones, and adjust their expressions to suit the situation. Their dual nature allows them to see both sides, which can make their lies sound more believable.
Geminis don't always lie to hurt others—many times, it's just to keep things interesting or avoid drama.
Scorpio
Scorpios are secretive by nature and highly strategic. They may not lie often, but when they do, it's hard to catch them. They are excellent at hiding their true intentions and maintaining a calm and serious face while doing so. Scorpios usually lie only when it serves a deeper purpose or protects their emotions.

Their mysterious nature makes others believe them without question.
Libra
Libras value harmony and often lie to avoid conflict. They don't enjoy hurting others and may tell white lies to keep the peace. Libras are charming, smooth talkers, and socially intelligent, which makes their lies hard to detect. Their main aim is usually to maintain balance, not to deceive for personal gain.
Pisces
Pisces live in a world of emotions and imagination. Sometimes, they blur the line between reality and fantasy, which can lead to unintentional lies. They are good at creating emotional stories that sound convincing. Pisces may lie to avoid confrontation, protect their feelings, or escape from harsh realities.
While these signs may be more naturally gifted at telling lies, it's important to remember that lying is a choice, not a destiny. Many use their communication skills for positive and creative expression rather than deception.

Fishing nets catch more plastic than fish off Thiruvananthapuram coast
T'puram: The fisherfolk who cast their nets off the state capital's coast have started to pull in more plastic than fish in the last few days. The situation became particularly dire after the week-long heavy rain at the end of last month. The plastic waste expelled by lakes and rivers following the downpour is now entering the sea, affecting fish resources, say fisherfolk. "The fisherfolk from Vizhinjam have been getting too much plastic in their nets in the last few days. It's mostly plastic covers, bottles, caps, and other items," said Sadic Ali, a fisherman and a volunteer with the NGO Friends of Marine Life (FML). The fisherfolk on the coast use small boats and two types of nets. One hugs the seabed and is ideal for catching crabs, stingrays, dry Malabar thryssa (manangu), sardines, and others. The other type of net, which is tied with stones and hangs a little above the seabed, is used to catch mackerel, white fish, and a few other species. There are around 50 to 60 fisherfolk who use such nets in Vizhinjam. They are getting only plastic waste recently, hinting that plastic pollution is prevalent on the seabed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ask A Pro: "I'm 70 with $1.4M in IRAs. Should I convert $120K/Year to a Roth?" SmartAsset Undo The fisherfolk, who have faced a dwindling catch over the years, are worried that an increase in plastic waste on the seabed will harm fish habitat and corals. FML's Ali says that fisherfolk often dump the plastic waste back into the sea — creating a cyclical process. Ali says that the authorities can at least sensitise the fisherfolk on safe disposal of plastic. "The plastic seems to be swirling about because of the unusual movement of current. This is impacting the small fishermen. This shows that the pollution prevention measures should not focus only on land, and scientific institutions should be keener," said Robert Panipilla of FML. A group of scientists recently flagged plastic pollution as the biggest threat to marine ecosystems. According to them, a staggering amount of plastic debris, originating from human activities on the land, is increasingly reaching oceans. Marine scientists warned that this influx of plastics poses an escalating danger to coastal ecosystems and to the livelihood of small-scale fishers. The coast is already affected by millions of plastic pellets washed ashore from the containers of the ship MSC ELSA 3 that sank off the Alappuzha coast.

What is Juneteenth? Why does America celebrate it and will it be a federal holiday?
Image credits: Getty Images U nique days and holidays are America's thing. From National Hamburger Day to National High Five Day, the country celebrates some of the most distinct days with exciting fervour. At the top of this and nearest to come is Juneteenth, America's youngest federal holiday. What is it, why is it celebrated in America and will it be a federal holiday? Let's find out. What is Juneteenth? Image credits: X On June 19th, 1865, the last Black slaves of the Confederacy were ordered free following the arrival of Union troops in Galveston, Texas. Juneteenth commemorates this day. While it may have happened years ago, the holiday came to prominence in 2020 during the nationwide protests for ongoing racial inequalities in the system highlighted after the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. It was officially recognized as a federal holiday by President Joe Biden in 2021. The history of Juneteenth On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation to free enslaved African Americans in secessionist states. However, it was two years later in 1865 that the people in Galveston, Texas got news of their freedom. On June 19th, Major General Gordon Granger announced to the community the proclamation. It was because while the enslaved people had been officially emancipated years ago, their enslavers ignored the order until Union troops arrived to enforce it, told Cliff Robinson, the founder of to USA TODAY. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Medical Mystery Solved: Dementia and Memory Loss Has Been Linked To This Common Thing. vitalgethealth Click Here Undo "The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labourer," announced Granger. Texas was the last Confederate state to announce the proclamation in America. When is Juneteenth? Image credits: X Juneteenth National Independence Day is celebrated on June 19, every year which is Thursday, in 2025. It is considered a federal holiday. Why is it called Juneteenth? The word Juneteenth combines "June" and "nineteenth" to honour the day when Granger announced the abolition of slavery in Texas. It is also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day. What will be open and close on Juneteenth? The United States Postal Service, schools, and banks including Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citibank, Truist, and others will be closed on Juneteenth. How is Juneteenth celebrated? Image credits: Getty Images The celebration of Juneteenth marks the Black Americans' true Independence Day. It includes prayer services, family gatherings, community festivals and parades and education speeches that remind people of the history of the Black culture and their fight for freedom. Red foods and drinks mark an important part of the Juneteenth celebrations as the colour is highly associated with the people of Yaruba and Kongo, who were affected by the transatlantic slave trade. It symbolizes sacrifice, transition and power.
