Taurus Tarot Horoscope Today Today's Tarot Card: The Hierophant Today your heart should speak before anything comes out of your mouth.

Instead, listen deeply—they will sense your calm energy and respond with more appreciation. It is a very good day to clear misunderstandings in the easiest of ways. If you feel confused after hearing what someone says, consider about it and don't give an instant response. Lucky Advice: Let silence guide your response.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now You should abandon that old habit; you have your own path now, and it shines brighter. Your energies come back once you stop judging yourself against anybody. Your charm comes spontaneously, and people then notice you more when you are relaxed. Honest conversation will probably clarify things quite well. Stay focused on self-growth over competition. Lucky Advice: Be proud of your uniqueness always. Cancer Tarot Horoscope Today Today's Tarot Card: The Chariot The recent feeling of lows is a point of change.

You may feel a tad restless, but the universe is asking you to breathe and focus on the beauty that is still in the process of growth.

Let them be imperfect—they are still potent. Lucky Advice: Trust the timing, not the rush. Virgo Tarot Horoscope Today Today's Tarot Card: The Hermit The silence of someone today will appear cold, but it is not you they are avoiding. Their distance is their journey not an assessment of your worth. Don't overthink it; don't blame yourself for it. Instead, focus on the peace within you and remain grounded in self-respect. You are more loved and appreciated than you may realise. This distance being given to you is also a chance for your own growth. Use this quiet generously for recharging.

A simple gesture from you can brighten one person's day immensely. Giving freely, directly from your heart, will in turn balance your own life.

Share love and good vibrations freely, and you will find them returned to you through surprising channels. Lucky Advice: Give without waiting for return. Scorpio Tarot Horoscope Today Today's Tarot Card: Death An honest and open conversation offers an emotional release today.

In the hurrying, we might miss the something really beautiful unfolding at the moment. Put a little pause between your next tasks and observe the details you have missed so far. A calm conversation or a soothing silence will always be your guide better than strenuous action. You don't need to do everything one moment after another; just one step at a time, delivered with thoughtfulness. Somebody from your heart circle may give you a calm state of mind that soothes your mood. Lucky Advice: Slow steps will show hidden answers. Capricorn Tarot Horoscope Today Today's Tarot Card: The Devil Do not try to overthink things today. The breakthrough comes not through working hard but easy.

Now, that question which had risen suddenly begins to find some clarity. A dream, a message, or an unexpected sign gives you peace today. Trust that inner voice-it has been right all along. As you stop second-guessing yourself, you might be feeling a bit more emotionally free. Maybe someone comes along presenting the very honesty you've been waiting for. Allow yourself to believe in what feels right. Lucky Advice: Trust what your heart already knows.

The Supreme Council for the Environment announced that the seasonal fishing ban on spangled Emperor (Shaari), rabbitfish (Safi) and seabream (Andag) fish in the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Bahrain, effective from Saturday, May 31. The ban, which began in early April, forms part of national efforts to protect marine resources and promote their sustainability. The SCE underscored the General Directorate of Marine Resources' commitment to preserving marine biodiversity and regulating fishing activities in line with international environmental standards, to maintain a balance between economic utilisation and long-term sustainability of marine resources. The SCE clarified that the ban was implemented under Edict (2) of 2024 concerning the prohibition of catching Shaari, Safi, and Andag fish. The measure was introduced to safeguard fish stocks and support environmental balance, contributing directly to the rehabilitation of marine ecosystems and ensuring the sustainability of marine resources for future generations. The directorate commended the efforts of partner entities involved in monitoring and enforcement during the ban period and emphasised the importance of continued cooperation with regulatory authorities to achieve the national goals of protecting marine biodiversity and reinforcing the sustainability of marine resources.

How to easily obtain the Emperor Sword in Oblivion Remastered?
(Image Via Virtuous and Bethesda Game Studios) The Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion Remastered offers the players a clever but unconventional means to get the Emperor's sword during the opening act of the game. By exploiting the specific birthsign ability and maintaining timing, the players can bypass the restrictions and even claim the iconic weapon. While the method needs precision, it is a game-changer for those who seek an early power boost. Here is the breakdown of all you need to know to pull it off without breaking the game. How to secure the Emperor Sword in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered? 😱 How to Get the Emperor's Sword in Oblivion Remastered? #oblivion #oblivionremastered The trick here begins with the selection of The Lover birthsign , during the creation of the character. It will grant you Lover's Kiss (usable once per day; it can paralyze the enemies for 10 seconds) power and the one-time paralysis ability, which is important for a strategy. Ensure to progress normally via sewer tutorial until you reach the moment where the Blade will instruct you— ' Wait here with the Emperor .' The dialogue cue will signal your chance to act; just make sure to remain close and try to avoid trailing guards while they depart. Then, create the distance between Uriel Septim and yourself. Cast the low-damage spell like the Flare to provoke him into hostility. He will then draw the sword but will not attack in an aggressive manner. Activate the Lover's Kiss to paralyze Uriel Septum mid-monologue. As the effect would wear off, he would finish the speech and then collapse. It will leave the weapon lootable. The guards ignore the incident as the game registers the Emperor's death, related to combat, as he was hostile. How to maximize the Emperor Sword's potential? While obtaining the sword early on can be rewarding, understanding the role of it is the key. The Emperor Sword is not just a trophy but a versatile blade with balanced stats. It is ideal for the early-game melee builds. Just pair it with the armor from the nearby chests or the quest rewards for dominating the foes in starting zones. But make sure not to be completely and solely reliant on it. The later upgrades would outclass the weapon, making it the stepping stone instead of the endgame weapon. The tactic even highlights the flexibility of Oblivion Remastered. The remake perfectly preserves the emergent gameplay of the original, allowing the creation of some creative problem-solving. While it is unintended, methods like such celebrate the depth of the game and encourage the exploration that is beyond the rigid questlines. Note: Exploring the mechanics can disrupt the immersion at times. So, use some discretion if the narrative cohesion is important to you. Tips to collect the Emperor's Sword with ease Timing matters. So, use it properly. Save the game before you confront Uriel to avoid any mishaps. If paralysis wears off sooner than expected, reload and then adjust the spellcasting speed. Give priority to leveling skills like Destruction or Blade to complement the use of the swords. Whether you are a lore enthusiast or just a player, snagging the weapon early on will add a fresh twist to replaying the timeless adventure of Cyrodiil.

This year is the 1,700th anniversary of a great church controversy
From time to time, great controversies of doctrine and practice arise in the church. The first such one concerned the need for Gentile converts to Christianity to observe the rules of the law of Moses. It was resolved by the Council of Jerusalem, recorded at Acts 15, which decided in favour of not burdening them with the regulations, except for abstaining 'from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood'. There was an element of compromise in this decision, but the main thrust of it was definitely on the liberal side. READ MORE Another major controversy was resolved 1,700 years ago this year by the first Council of Nicaea, which was held in the year 325. This striking anniversary is being observed in church circles around the world. The controversy dealt with at Nicaea concerned the views of Arius, a priest in North Africa, as developed in Arianism. Arianism taught that Jesus was not coeternal with God, having been created by God, but nonetheless having been created before time began. Arianism's understanding that Jesus had been created, as opposed to begotten, involved subordinationism within the Trinity and was a matter of widespread and passionate dispute within the early church. The Emperor Constantine – who ruled from 306 to 337, had converted to Christianity and legalised its practice by the Edict of Milan in 313 – was deeply concerned about the depth of this division of opinion and convened the council which was held in Nicaea, which is now Iznik in Turkey , in summer 325 to establish a definitive position. The council adopted the first version of the Nicene creed, referring to 'one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten from the Father, only-begotten, that is, from the substance of the Father, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made, of one substance with the Father'. While some may think there was an element of compromise in the wording 'begotten, not made', nonetheless the creed is a clear repudiation of Arianism, categorically anathematising any view of Jesus as of 'a different hypostasis or substance' from God, or as 'created'. Christian teaching distinguishes between begetting and creating. This difference was helpfully explained in a nutshell by CS Lewis in his book, Mere Christianity, thus: 'When you beget, you beget something of the same kind as yourself ... But when you make, you make something of a different kind from yourself.' Although there understandably are differing views of the precise course of ancient history, it is widely viewed that the first form of the Nicene creed was amended in 381 by the Council of Constantinople (now Istanbul) into the present-day form, except for the Filioque clause (that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father 'and the Son'), which was added in 1014 and was an important factor in the 1054 schism between the western and eastern church. The 381 version of the Nicene creed is also known as the Niceno-Constantinopolitan creed. What is crucially important about the Nicene creed from its original 325 form is that it firmly establishes the trinitarian understanding of God. Perhaps all of this may seem rather esoteric in today's church, but the importance of Trinitarianism is seen in that when one tampers with it then all sorts of theological trouble is inclined to ensue. In terms of the today's church, Trinitarianism can be seen as underscoring certain particularly contemporary concerns. These include respect for human diversity and the value of unity-in-diversity in church relationships, given that the trinitarian God is both one and diverse in nature; the importance of human equality, the three divine people being coequal; and the fundamentally relational nature of human life – embracing personal, societal and political life – given that harmonious relationship is at the heart of the life of the triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. No doubt there are many other ways in which the trinitarian understanding of God can be seen as a standard and goal for the church and for human society in general. Given the priority of the scriptural witness, some question the authority of creeds such as the Nicene creed in establishing orthodox doctrine. Nonetheless, the church does have to organise itself – and ecumenical councils, such as were those of Nicaea and Constantinople, can rightly assert what is the common and received understanding of the mysteries of God.
