Your daily horoscope: June 24, 2025
With a sun-Jupiter union on your birthday you have what it takes to succeed beyond your wildest dreams. Act as if you cannot fail and, when obstacles appear in your path, look for intelligent ways to go round them. The universe is on your side. You have never been afraid to make mistakes and that will give you a big advantage over rivals who think it is the end of the world if they put a foot wrong. 'Move fast and break things' is very much your motto at the moment. You have no intention of changing your opinions to conform to what other people expect of you. Even if some of your beliefs are so far 'out there' they are in danger of falling off the edge of the world you will stick with them all the way. Although your enthusiasm for a project of some kind is high you are beginning to wonder if a slight change of course might be a good thing. It could be if that change gets you to your final destination at a considerably smaller financial cost. You have just about everything going for you now and the approaching new moon will encourage you to show what you are capable of. But don't overdo it and push yourself too hard, too far, too soon. You have limits like everyone else. Even if you make a major mistake over the next 24 hours the results won't be as bad as you fear, so keep moving ahead and keep believing that your momentum will take you past any and all obstacles. Be an irresistible force. Don't be taken in if someone you work alongside says a certain task is too much for them. What they mean, of course, is they are simply too lazy to give it a try. Your job is to persuade them to stop shirking and get on with it. If you are having trouble on the work front the very last thing you need is to let your temper get the better of you. The moment you raise your voice, even a little bit, is the moment others will know they are getting the better of you. If you want to get a message across to partners and loved ones today you will need to make it as simple as possible. If you go into too much detail they will most likely lose interest or, worse, misinterpret what you are trying to say. By all means take expert advice regarding a work or business matter today but don't give other people the power to make decisions for you. Even if what they tell you sounds reasonable it is your own inner voice you should be listening to. Cosmic activity in your opposite sign will be good for relationships today, even more so if you are sensible and put your own needs on hold while you assist other people. What you do for others now will come back to you tenfold later on. You need to take life at a slower pace now, especially on the work front where others will happily overload you with extra tasks if they think they can get away with it. Make sure it's YOU who benefits most from your efforts. You won't find it hard to be dynamic today but you must make sure your endeavours are geared toward building new and positive things rather than knocking down old things that no longer inspire you. Aim to be constructive rather than destructive. Discover more about yourself at

'Beyond devastating': Residents of Denare Beach, Sask., start returning home
Social Sharing For Alannah Skot, returning to Denare Beach, Sask., has been both painful and therapeutic. Her home was among the 218 permanent residences destroyed by wildfire three weeks ago, when the Wolf fire roared into the northern village on June 2. But the lodge she owns, the Overland Resort, survived, so she was among the people allowed to return to the community on the weekend when the local evacuation order partially lifted. "It's beyond devastating," she said on Monday, when asked what it's like to be back. "But I personally feel so much better being here with all my friends, and just having the support.… To be back where people are feeling the same emotions as you is very therapeutic." Skot travelled to Denare Beach on Saturday to start preparing her lodge for guests, who so far will include some displaced residents as well as SaskTel crews in town to restore phone and internet services. She said she is "beyond grateful" to the firefighters who defended the community, and thankful her lodge is still standing, though she doesn't know how — there's blackened signs of the burn all around it and the rice plant across the street was destroyed. "The grass is longer, my barbecue is a pool of metal, like most around town," she said. "My glass bottles that were ready for recycling are melted." WATCH | Her Denare Beach home was destroyed by fire, but her lake resort was somehow spared: Her Denare Beach home was destroyed by fire, but her lake resort was somehow spared 1 hour ago Duration 1:07 Alannah Skot's home was one of 218 permanent residences in Denare Beach, Sask., destroyed by wildfire three weeks ago. But the lodge she owns, the Overland Resort, survived. It's becoming a place to stay for some of her neighbours who have to rebuild, and for SaskTel employees reconnecting services. On Sunday, the village lifted the evacuation order for permanent residents whose homes weren't destroyed by fire. Then on Monday, the village announced the evacuation order will be fully lifted on Wednesday, meaning seasonal residents and non-residents will also be allowed to travel there. "Due to the many crews working in the village and for those who have experienced losses, we ask that any unnecessary traffic refrain from entering the village at this time," the village posted on Facebook. Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation has also been working on co-ordinating the response and recovery for its Denare Beach reserve, just south of the Northern Village of Denare Beach. Just 10 homes out of about 35 on the reserve were saved. The First Nation said in an update on its website that it is "working to restrict access to Denare Beach to community members only. Security measures are being implemented to prevent non-residents from entering or taking photos in the area." Some residents in the area will have to wait a bit longer until they can return, including anyone who needs medical services. Denare Beach and nearby Creighton depend on the city of Flin Flon, just across the border in Manitoba, for many services. Officials in Manitoba said they expect to lift the evacuation order for Flin Flon on Wednesday, but health-care services will be limited for a while. Denare Beach resident Maureen McBratney has been staying in Yorkton, to continue her dialysis treatment. She said she can't go home until she hears the dialysis unit is up and running at the hospital in Flon Flon. McBratney said it's been tough listening to other family members getting excited about returning. "I get it, you know, things [in the hospital] have to be cleaned and properly vetted to make sure everything's safe for people like me to go home," she said. "But, you know, it's still a little hard to take." Progress made on containing fires There are still 19 active fires burning in the province, Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency vice-president Steve Roberts said in a media briefing on Monday afternoon. But favourable weather has meant crews have been making progress on containing the four major fires still burning: the Shoe fire is 50 per contained, the Pisew fire 30 per cent contained, the Wolf fire 30 per cent contained and the Ditch fire 80 per cent contained. He said there were no changes to the total "values" confirmed as burned, which is 1,931 provincewide, including 299 houses and 60 cabins. Members of the recovery task team, announced last week, were on their way to Creighton on Monday, Roberts said. When asked what kind of supports there will be for people whose homes burned, he said some will be relying on insurance and some are staying with family and friends.
