Your Weekly Love Horoscope for The Week of July 21, 2025
Aries
You're a bit prone to getting upset at the week's outset. Try to welcome the new, which will be much easier starting sometime Tuesday afternoon. Through the middle of the week, your fiery, independent side makes life (and love) very exciting. Singletons are in an explore-and-conquer mode, while those in relationships bring some spice into the equation. On Thursday or Friday, you're preoccupied by work or your reputation, but keep those priorities in order. A happy heart comes first. This weekend, your amorous agenda is moving right along, and that's pleasing indeed.
Taurus
You're extra passionate and extra sensitive at the beginning of the week, a potentially explosive combo that ensures you won't be bored! Get that intensity out with a long run, a primal scream, or a good cry. From Tuesday through Thursday, love's more of an abstract, philosophical question. Use the distance to solidify some ideals. Toward the end of the week, romantic plans go smoothly, and a certain someone's bringing a fresh perspective to the table that's rather enlightening. This weekend, you could be inspired to take a walk on the wild side.
Gemini
Doing a little research about a certain someone at the week's outset pays off big time, so ask around, type their name into a search engine, and generally gather intelligence. Things can definitely be taken to another level between Tuesday and Thursday. Why stay on the surface when there's interesting treasure to be unearthed? Ask a deep question to get started. Any kind of business involving others, including business of the romantic kind, could get held up at the end of the week. Don't expect big progress now. But with your changeable heart, anything could happen this weekend.
Cancer
Remain noncommittal at the beginning of the week. There's plenty of time to make dates and decisions, so don't let them rush you. Around Wednesday, socializing is problematic. You might prefer some one-on-one time with a certain someone or just to be alone. Be proactive and push things in the direction you want them to go. Your awareness of the emotional state of others and ability to balance various demands makes all the difference from Thursday through Saturday. Love can go really well now. Do something that engages your brain with someone who engages your interest on Sunday.
Leo
Delve into matters of the heart on Monday. There's more here than meets the eye, and you might uncover some sweet stuff. From Tuesday through Thursday, romance is turned up to 11, and it's playing your favorite song. Who'll be your partner at this personal dance party? Lucky them. Around Friday, watch how you're coming across. Modesty and listening are more alluring than bragging and blather (surprise, surprise). Those in relationships should be patient with their partner this weekend, while singletons may meet someone as strong-minded as they are, and that could be hot. Prepare yourself to take on each month with your personalized Monthly Horoscope!
Virgo
That romantic goal you've got in mind at the week's outset could be a teeny bit unrealistic. Rome wasn't built in a day, nor does love happen overnight. Scale back the expectations. You'll want control around Wednesday, but going with the flow could be surprisingly fun, and it may lead to some surprising places. Dare to let go. Love's extra sweet and full of pleasant possibilities from Thursday through Saturday. Indulge in a heaping helping. And if a certain someone messes up your Sunday routine, you might not even mind.
Libra
You want it all when it comes to romance at the beginning of the week, and who could blame you? The intensity might throw you for a bit of a loop, but from Tuesday through Thursday, some balance is restored. You're using your heart and mind in tandem to very nice effect. A proposal you make now is well received. Watch for a past romantic issue to resurrect around Friday, allowing you a chance to revise your original response. The weekend brings a couple of very good days for your mental energy, socializing, and matters of the heart.
Scorpio
Love and respect go hand in hand at the week's outset, with you getting your fair share of both. The confidence you're feeling is magical. Around Wednesday, you'll want to pull back and look at the larger picture, particularly before going out on any romantic limbs. Being shrewd on occasion in the love department never hurts. From Thursday through Saturday, there may not be fireworks, but you're very companionable, and you're communicating clearly and with affection. A possible conflict on Sunday holds a new idea in its hands.
Sagittarius
Some ups and downs characterize the very start of the week, but it's only natural given the shifting nature of romance. Starting on Tuesday, the shifting takes a more positive direction, with an unexpected delight in store if you're willing to explore. Your sense of humor is totally on fire now, and the right person's laughing. Around Friday, a direct approach is definitely best in the love department. gather your thoughts and get them out there. Singletons have no problem meeting (and impressing) people this weekend, while the coupled up have a fruitful exchange of ideas.
Capricorn
Friends are your best resource when it comes to making a romantic decision at the week's outset. They'll help with a little detachment and a lot of support. A situation's in flux midweek, and you'll need to adjust your ideas accordingly. At the same time, don't rush into anything. By Thursday, it all begins to clarify, with good results for your heart. Friday's a perfect date night, with whatever you plan turning out even better than expected. On the other hand, things could fall through this weekend, but if you're up for last-minute changes, it's more than salvageable.
Aquarius
Get yourself into a social setting at the beginning of the week. Nesting may sound good, but the energy you'll get from being around friends (even via video) is even better. You're in an expansive mood from Tuesday through Thursday, telling your best stories and picking up new ideas. Someone's impressed by your generous spirit. Keep yourself in check around Friday. You'll only figure out what's going on by close observation, not interfering. You couldn't really ask for more from the stars when it comes to romance this weekend. How will you use the gorgeous power?
Pisces
Be wise about a romantic issue at the beginning of the week. Eyes wide open is the way to proceed now, even while you're going through some emotions. Around Wednesday, the stars send some extra awareness your way, as well as some stellar instincts about how to proceed and a little luck. On Thursday and Friday, good energy comes easily and perhaps from some unexpected quarters. Helping someone else out in the love department keeps the cycle going. Your head may be swimming this weekend, but your heart's in the right place. Give yourself a break. Find your cosmic purpose. Receive personalized astrological guidance with Astrology+.

Spotify takes a swing at gaming with a mini golf game ahead of ‘Happy Gilmore 2' release
Netflix and Spotify have teamed up to launch a golf-inspired game as a way to promote 'Happy Gilmore 2,' the sequel to Adam Sandler's 1996 comedy film, which premieres on Netflix this Friday, July 25. This partnership represents a new venture for Spotify, as the company has never teamed up with another company to create a gaming experience within its app before. Gaming is an area Spotify has largely overlooked, so working with the streaming giant is notable, even if only for a promotional campaign as it could serve as a test to see if consumers resonated with the experience. Since the game is tied to a beloved cult classic, it also presents a unique opportunity to boost engagement. Spotify says it developed the game in partnership with MiK Studio. Image Credits:Spotify The new mini-game, titled Happy Gilmore 2 Tournament, is available exclusively within the Spotify app. To play, users must perfect their golf swing by tilting their device as they aim to complete all three holes. The game also offers a unique audio-visual experience, featuring audio clips from the movie when users complete each round, along with a personalized playlist of 'happy' tracks curated specifically for the user. Players can also discover Easter eggs, such as Happy's boots, his signature hockey stick, and an alligator. At the end of the experience, users can watch the official 'Happy Gilmore 2' trailer and share their personalized playlist and final score on social media.

Will Crutchfield's Teatro Nuovo revives Verdi's 'Macbeth' with period instruments
NEW YORK (AP) — Verdi can be played on original instruments, too. While historically informed performances of Baroque music are not surprising, Will Crutchfield and Teatro Nuovo are using period pieces for the rarely heard initial version of 'Macbeth.' 'You wouldn't think that architecture from the mid-19th century would resemble the architecture of today,' cellist Hilary Metzger said. 'The instruments and the way they had to make music back then were very different.' 'Macbeth' and Bellini's 'La Sonnambula' were presented by Teatro Nuovo last weekend at Montclair State's Kasser Theater in New Jersey and repeated this week at New York City Center. 'La Sonnambula' will be performed Thursday. 'I feel like I'm in Scotland,' said soprano Alexandra Loutsion, the Lady Macbeth. 'Modern instruments have a sharpness to them and a pristine quality that period instruments don't.' Crutchfield, 68, was a music critic for The New York Times in the 1980s. He established Bel Canto at Caramoor in Katonah, New York, in 1997, then launched Teatro Nuovo as general and artistic director in 2018, showcasing scholarship and furnishing foundations for singers. 'I got bitten with the bug of historical recordings, and I realized very early on, oh, we think are doing traditional Italian opera nowadays but really what we call traditional means the 1950s,' he said. 'What they were doing in the 1900s was totally different, radically just night and day different from the 1950s. ... and that just made me really curious. OK, if it was that different in 1910, what was happening in 1880, what was happening 1860?' Verdi emerged from Bel Canto era Crutchfield noted Bellini, Donizetti, Rossini and Verdi all were born from 1792 to 1813, and early Verdi is in the Bel Canto manner. 'The only reason we think of Verdi as belonging to another era is because he was still composing in his 80s and writing masterpieces after the others were long gone from the scene,' Crutchfield said. 'He is based on the same tradition. He learned his craft from hearing their operas.' 'Macbeth' premiered at Florence's Teatro della Pergola in 1847, just before Verdi's middle-period masterpieces. Verdi and librettist Francesco Maria Piave revised it for a run at Paris' Théâtre Lyrique in 1865 that was performed in French. The latter version, translated into Italian for Milan's Teatro alla Scala later that year, is the most common score used. Jakob Lehmann conducted the original version from the University of Chicago/Casa Ricordi critical edition. At Wednesday night's performance, Loutsion sang a high-octane 'Trionfai! Securi alfine,' a coloratura showpiece that Verdi replaced with the more dramatic 'La luce langue,' and baritone Ricardo José Rivera was menacing and mellifluous in 'Vada in fiamme,' which ended the third act and was dropped in 1865 for a duet between the Macbeths. 'The lady is a bit more unhinged in this one,' Loutsion said. 'It's basically about how she's gotten everything that she wants and she's triumphed, and nothing's going to stop them now.' Orchestra seated in early 19th century arrangement First violins were seated with backs toward the audience, facing the second violins, whose backs were to the stage. Cellos, double basses and brass were split on sides of the woodwinds in a seating Crutchfield adopted from Naples' Teatro San Carlo. 'Back in Verdi's day, the first violins were the teachers and the second violins were their students,' Metzger said. Double basses have three strings instead of four, string instruments use gut instead of metal, woodwinds are made of wood and brass have no valves. 'There's a certain clarity to it and there's a certain specificity,' chorus master Derrick Goff said. 'The English horn and the oboe sound even more plaintive to me. You can really hear the way that the composers had to write very specifically for those instruments.' An orchestra of about 53 was used for 'Macbeth' and 47 for 'Sonnambula,' accompanied by a chorus of 28, and the pitch was lower than used by modern orchestras. Men in the cast wore mostly tuxedos and women were dressed in black on a stage with a screen showing projections. Majority of money comes from donors, not ticket sales Two performances of each opera cost a total of about $1.4 million, according to general manager Cindy Marino. Ticket sales generate roughly $160,000, with the remainder raised from donors. 'We obviously want bigger choruses. We want a little bit larger orchestra,' Marino said, 'but we know financially we are trying to take it easy on increasing what we need to raise and not just jumping half a million dollars in order to grow the company.' Orchestra rehearsals started about four weeks out. The cast worked intensively on the period techniques. 'Now that I'm leaving here, I feel like I have a whole other color palette,' Loutsion said. 'The luxury of being able to dig in and all of us nerd out is awesome.'
