Your daily horoscope: May 24, 2025
A sun-Pluto link on your birthday makes this the perfect time to let go of the past and start building a wonderful future. The more emotional baggage you can dispose of now the happier and more successful you will be over the coming year.
Even if you feel rich at the moment you cannot afford to throw money away. You may be tempted to go on a spree this weekend but with Saturn about to enter your sign there could be unforeseen and unwelcome consequences, so show some restraint.
As mind planet Mercury joins forces with Uranus in your sign this weekend your craving for excitement will go through the roof. Don't stop to think if an idea that pops into your head is a good one, just follow it all the way to the end.
Hopefully the fact that you have doubts about someone's loyalty will be enough to stop you from confiding in them over the next 48 hours. If you do open up without thinking you could find your big secret is all over the internet come Monday morning!
Someone you usually find it hard to get along with will be all sweetness and light this weekend. Can you believe their change of attitude? Is it some kind of trick? Don't be so suspicious. They just want to build a more positive relationship.
Something surprising will occur on the work front this weekend and it will be the kind of surprise you enjoy. Who knew that someone in a position of authority felt so warmly about you? Well now you do, so make the most if it.
If a new fad or fashion grabs your attention this weekend there is a danger that you will lavish far too much time and attention on it. It may be a lot of fun but there are still plenty of mundane matters that need taking care of.
As the sun is now moving through the most adventurous area of your chart you won't want to stay with the same old people in the same old places, so get out and about and have a great time. And start thinking seriously about your next vacation.
If a loved one confides in you today you must respect their desire to keep what they tell you strictly to yourself. You can, though, make suggestions as to what they should be doing next. Be radical in your thinking but don't try to make decisions for them.
You will need to slow down a bit this weekend, not just physically but mentally too. Your mind has been on the go non-stop of late and there are clear signs of fatigue that you must not ignore. Do something that requires minimal deep thinking.
Anyone who thinks you are set in your ways will now have to admit there is an adventurous side to your nature as well. Do something over the next 48 hours that not even your nearest and dearest would expect of you. Maybe something romantic?
If a friend or colleague is feeling low make it your business to cheer them up. A few kind words from you could be all it takes to get them smiling again, and you will get a kick from helping them fall in love with life again.
Even if you have all the facts and figures on your side you are unlikely to win an argument with someone who is just too stubborn to accept there is a better way of doing things. Leave them alone and let them learn from their own mistakes.

Let's get physical: Oilers eager to combat aggressive Panthers even minus NHL hits leader
Los Angeles Kings winger Warren Foegele, centre, loses his helmet as he is hit by Edmonton Oilers winger Zach Hyman, left, and winger Evander Kane as defenceman Darnell Nurse watches from the Oilers' bench during the second period in Game 2 of an NHL hockey first-round playoff series Wednesday, April 23, 2025, in Los Angeles. Zach Hyman will be missed by the Edmonton Oilers in several ways. For his scoring: the team-leading scorer of 54 goals last season has five goals in the 2025 National Hockey League playoffs, tied for third on the team list with three others, and 11 points, good for fifth on the Oilers with Evander Kane. He has scored 40 goals and 73 points in 100 career NHL playoff games. For the winger's character: The 32-year-old is a popular leader. His speech in the dressing room after last June's heartbreaking Game 7 loss in the Stanley Cup final resonates with teammates and coaches alike now almost a year later. And for his physical play: Before going down to injury in Game 4 of the Western Conference final and having surgery the next day to most likely be sidelined for the rest of the playoffs, Hyman was No. 1 on the NHL list in hits with 111. Sam Bennett of the Florida Panthers, who the Oilers are facing again in the Cup final that starts Wednesday at Rogers Place, is second on that list with 85. Oilers forward Vasily Podkolzin ranks fourth in the league with 74. The Oilers will miss everything top-liner Hyman brings to the ice, but on Monday, players and head coach Kris Knoblauch all touched on the importance of physical play against the defending champions. Both Kane, who was hobbled by injury during last year's post-season and didn't play past Game 2 of the 2024 Cup final, and defenceman Darnell Nurse said the team will have to collectively replace what Hyman brings to games. 'We're going to have to all pick that up by committee,' Nurse, who has 50 hits these playoffs to sit 23rd among NHLers, told media on Monday. 'With that said, we're very confident in the group that we have and in the players who are available. 'There have been guys who have stepped up in huge moments so far over the course of the playoffs, and I'm sure over the course of this series, we'll need more of that.'

(JASON FRANSON/THE CANADIAN PRESS) Nurse is bang on about players stepping up after coming out of the press box and into the lineup. Wingers Kasperi Kapanen and Jeff Skinner come to mind on the scoring side of things. Kapanen scored the game-winning goal in overtime in his second game played this post-season to eliminate the Vegas Golden Knights in the second round. The mid-season waiver wire pick-up from St. Louis has three goals in seven games played. Skinner drew back onto the active roster in Game 5 against the Dallas Stars – he played in the Oilers' playoff opener then was assigned to press box duty when Kane returned to action – scoring his team's third goal of the game in the Western Conference final-clinching 6-3 Edmonton win. Kane, seventh on the NHL playoff hits list with 68, says it's evident team depth is benefitting the Oilers.

(JASON FRANSON/THE CANADIAN PRESS) 'If we need scoring, we have scoring. If we need some guys who can be a little more physical, we can be more physical,' said Kane, who has 68 hits this post-season, good for second on the team and seventh on the NHL list. 'We're going to have to use that depth, and we're going to have to get the job done with it.' 'We have a lot of guys in the room that can play that (physical) style, too.' — Darnell Nurse Knoblauch said the Oilers are 'better equipped this year' to handle the physical Panthers, who led the NHL in team hits during the regular season with 2,446 – an average of 29.83 per game. The Oilers ranked 32nd, last, in that category with 1,241, although until the playoffs began, they were without the likes of Kane and Trent Frederic, gritty power forwards both known for banging bodies. So far in the 2025 playoffs, Panthers players have delivered a collective 812 hits, their Oilers counterparts second among conference finalists with 636.

(LM Otero/AP) 'I think we're better equipped this year. We've got, especially up front, a lot more physical players,' said Knoblauch, highlighting the addition of Kane and Frederic to the lineup. Nurse said he expects the Cup final rematch with the Panthers will 'be a fun series.' 'They play a hard style of hockey. They play physical. They're in your face,' Nurse said. 'In each and every shift, you've got to go out there and – I know it's a cliche – give 100 per cent and work as hard as you can, because they're a team that doesn't give any free space. 'We have a lot of guys in the room that can play that style, too.'

WTF with Marc Maron podcast to end after nearly 16 years
Comic and actor Marc Maron said Monday that he's ending his popular and influential podcast 'WTF with Marc Maron' after nearly 16 years. Maron said on a newly released episode that the last of the nearly 2,000 episodes he has hosted will be released later this year. 'Sixteen years we've been doing this, and we've decided that we had a great run,' Maron said. 'Now, basically, it's time, folks. It's time. 'WTF' is coming to an end. It's our decision. We'll have our final episode sometime in the fall.' The 61-year-old Maron said he and producing partner Brendan McDonald are 'tired' and 'burnt out' but 'utterly satisfied with the work we've done.' From the archives: Interview | Podcast maestro Marc Maron shuts up just long enough to listen Maron was a veteran stand-up comic who had dabbled in radio when he started the show in 2009, at a time when stand-ups were trying out the form in big numbers, and many listeners still downloaded episodes on to iPods. The show early on was often about Maron talking through his beefs with fellow comedians, but it soon stood out and became a widely heard and medium-defining show with its thoughtful, probing longform interviews of cultural figures. It became a key stop on press tours for authors, actors and musicians and reached a peak when then- President Barack Obama visited Maron's makeshift Los Angeles garage studio for an episode in 2015. Maron used a simple interview style to get guests to share stories they'd rarely told elsewhere. Seeking to know the biggest influences on their lives and careers, Maron would ask, 'Who are your guys?' Other memorable episodes include a 2010 personal and emotional interview with Robin Williams that was re-posted and widely listened to after Williams' death in 2014. The episode earned a place in the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress. Maron kept doing standup specials and expanded his acting career while the show aired, including a three-season run on the Netflix series 'GLOW.' The show's guitar-rock theme song opened with a clip of Maron shouting, 'Lock the gates!' in his role as a promoter in the film 'Almost Famous.' The solo episode openings became a confessional space for Maron where he talked about his life, relationships, years of doing stand-up comedy and struggles with drug addiction. Maron gave tearful tribute to his girlfriend, director Lynn Shelton, in the episode after her death in 2020. 'People who listen to the podcast know me pretty well, and it's all good. They have a relationship with me that's one sided, but it's real and I try to be as gracious about that as possible,' Maron told The Associated Press in 2019. 'My particular little slice of the show business world is very me specific and it's very personal and usually that's a good thing. But I've had to learn how to balance how much of my life I reveal and what I keep to myself, and try to find a little space.'
