The underrated strength of each zodiac sign
When we think about zodiac signs, certain traits immediately come to mind, which might define their personality. But just like people, every sign has layers. Beneath their most talked-about qualities lies a quiet strength: one that often gets overlooked, but says a lot about who they really are. Here's the most underrated strength of each zodiac sign. The underrated strength of each zodiac sign(Freepik) Loyalty Aries is known for their fiery spirit and independence. But when they care about someone, their loyalty is fierce and unwavering. They will stand by your side, defend you without hesitation, and never let you feel alone. ALSO READ: New Moon in Leo 2025: Power horoscopes for each zodiac sign Patience Taurus may have a reputation for being stubborn, but underneath that is deep patience. They know how to build things slowly and stay committed long after others have given up. Their calm, steady presence is a quiet kind of strength. Adaptability Geminis often get teased for being 'all over the place', but that is precisely what makes them strong. They adapt easily, think quickly, and know how to adjust when life takes an unexpected turn. Strategic Instincts Cancers are often labelled as emotional, but they are also incredibly intuitive. They read people and situations early, think ahead, and quietly plan their next move. Their emotional intelligence is matched by sharp strategic thinking. Generosity Leos love the spotlight, but they also love uplifting others. Their generous spirit shows in how they give time, love, support, and encouragement. When you forget your worth, Leo will remind you. Sharp Observation Virgos are detail masters. While others miss the small things, Virgo catches them and uses that insight to fix problems, improve systems, and help others grow. Their power lies in what they see that no one else does. ALSO READ: What your birth date says about your life purpose Tact Libra does not just seek peace; they know how to create it. They handle sensitive situations with grace, speak the truth kindly, and bring balance where it is needed most. Their diplomacy is a quiet superpower. Emotional Courage Scorpios feel everything deeply but never shy away from the hard stuff. They face intense emotions, heartbreaks, and fears with a kind of bravery that is rarely acknowledged. That is true emotional strength. Faith Sagittarius believes in people, possibilities, and second chances. Even when life gets tough, they look forward with hope. Their ability to keep going, no matter what, is rooted in pure faith. Quiet Leadership Capricorn leads not with words, but through action. They are dependable, disciplined, and always there when it counts. They do not need applause; they just get things done, quietly holding everything together. Open Mind Aquarius embraces differences, both in themselves and in others. They listen without judgment and accept people as they are. Their open mind is a breath of fresh air in a world that often expects conformity. Forgiveness Pisces can be deeply hurt, but they choose forgiveness instead of holding on to pain. They release bitterness and offer second chances, not out of weakness, but because they value peace over pride.

Where to see the Delta Aquariids Meteor Shower across Lancashire on July 30
Over Lancashire, the Delta Aquariids Meteor Shower will peak. ADVERTISEMENT On the evening of Wednesday, July 30, astronomers in East Lancashire could see the Delta Aquariids meteor shower, which is expected to peak at up to 25 meteors per hour. With the greatest viewing hours anticipated between midnight and dawn, the event signals the start of the Northern Hemisphere's summer meteor shower season. The greatest places to watch Delta Aquariids are those with low levels of light pollution. The best visibility will come from clear, black skies, and Lancashire has a number of black Sky Discovery Sites that fit the bill. Slaidburn and Gisburn Forest, Beacon Fell Country Park, and Crook O'Lune Picnic Site in the Forest of Bowland are among the designated locations. Preston's Deepdale Labour and Social ClubPreston's Brockholes Nature Reserve ADVERTISEMENT Preston's Moor Park is home to Jeremiah Horrocks Observatory. ADVERTISEMENT Preston's Alston ObservatoryPreston's Beacon Fell Visitor Centre ADVERTISEMENT Cricket Club of Blackpool ADVERTISEMENT Embankment of Pilling, PillingClitheroe's Slaidburn Visitor Parking LotClitheroe's Gisburn Forest HubTorrisholme's Church of the AscensionHalton Green's Crook O'Lune Picnic SiteLancaster's Caton Moor WindfarmStargazers can stay at Clerk Laith Lodge near Newton-in-Bowland, Graystock Lodge in Cockerham, or Bowland Wild Boar Park in Preston for longer viewing sessions or overnight stays. Because the meteors seem to originate close to the star Delta Aquarii, the Delta Aquariids are named after the constellation Aquarius. Because the shower happens just a few days before a New Moon, there will be less lunar interference, making this year's viewing conditions favourable. Although there is still debate on the Delta Aquariids' origin, recent research suggests Comet 96P/Machholz as the most likely source. The comet, which was discovered by astronomer Donald Machholz in 1986, is thought to be four miles (6.4 km) in diameter and completes one cycle around the Sun every 5.2 years. The yearly meteor shower is caused by ice vaporising and releasing dust and rock debris as the comet gets closer to the Sun. This debris burns when it enters Earth's atmosphere.

Moon phase today: What the moon will look like on July 23, 2025
Looking up at the sky and wondering where the moon is? Today's lack of beautiful moonlight isn't a mystery; it's to do with where we are in the lunar cycle. What's that, you ask? Keep reading to find out. The lunar cycle is a series of eight unique phases of the moon's visibility. The whole cycle takes about 29.5 days, according to NASA, and these different phases happen as the Sun lights up different parts of the moon whilst it orbits Earth. So, what's happening tonight, July 23, and where are we in the lunar cycle? Keep reading to find out. What is today's moon phase? As of Wednesday, July 23, the moon phase is Waning Crescent, and it is almost completely hidden to us on Earth. The moon will only be 2% visible to us tonight, according to NASA's Daily Moon Observation. On day 28 of the lunar cycle, there's unfortunately nothing visible on the moon due to how little of it is illuminated. When is the next full moon? The next full moon will be on August 9. The last full moon was on July 10. What are moon phases? According to NASA, moon phases are caused by the 29.5-day cycle of the moon's orbit, which changes the angles between the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Moon phases are how the moon looks from Earth as it goes around us. We always see the same side of the moon, but how much of it is lit up by the Sun changes depending on where it is in its orbit. This is how we get full moons, half moons, and moons that appear completely invisible. There are eight main moon phases, and they follow a repeating cycle: New Moon - The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye). Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere). First Quarter - Half of the moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-moon. Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it's not quite full yet. Full Moon - The whole face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible. Waning Gibbous - The moon starts losing light on the right side. Last Quarter (or Third Quarter) - Another half-moon, but now the left side is lit. Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again. Solve the daily Crossword

Weekly Tarot Card Reading Horoscope for July 28
You don't need to know the difference between a three-card and a Celtic cross spread, to get the most out of a tarot card reading. All you need: your Sun sign! Here's what I do: Shuffle my tarot deck and pull out the cards in order from Aries to Pisces plus one general card for everyone so that you can get specific advice around your personality. Let's go! The New Moon has passed but we are still in activation mode and, as Venus moves into Cancer, we are reminded of past loves, friendships, family ties, and any nostalgic affection we still cling onto for something, someone, or someplace. Is it time to reunite? Justice asks us to think carefully what we do with this nostalgia. Is it rose-tinted glasses? Are there unresolved issues still to be crossed off? Are there apologies or atonements to be made? Should a reunion be suggested? Or, should you let sleeping dogs lie? The right answer is not immediately obvious without deeper contemplation because your heart and head may not initially agree. So, think on it before you do anything at all. And if in doubt, then let things stay as they are: a happy memory. It's going to be a heck of a week, Aries, maybe the peak week of the summer if not all of 2025! The Sun has you in the eye of the storm as far as Lady Karma is concerned, in a good way too. All of the good karma credit you've built this last year is going to come home to you in the guise of surprises, treats, compliments, opportunities, and rewards. Take it all, you deserve every last ounce of joy because you give so much of it out. If you're thinking of taking, booking, or having a holiday then do it now, The Sun blesses all travels. And if you're looking for love then I wonder if a sexy Leo might catch your eye. You can wish as hard as you like, but if the stars aren't aligned or you're not taking overt, necessary steps to make your wish a reality, then it's not going to happen. This card is a nudge to take a cold, rational look at where your energy and resources are going. Are they supporting your biggest dreams and ideals? We all have commitments, chores, and duties, but they should align with a bigger picture that you want to be a part of. Don't try and pretend all is aligned if it isn't. Unpick the tapestry you've woven and examine the threads and pieces. If it's not right, then it's time for a do-over. Be honest and amend whatever needs adjustment. Betrayal is such an ugly and painful experience. I know it very well, it's an old foe, and I do think many Geminis endure this specter because of their wide social circle, warmth and charisma. Shadows are attracted to light. Geminis are light. So, my friend, if you've been backstabbed, let down, or downright betrayed, then know this is their problem to solve, their shame to carry, and their guilt to swallow. Don't try and gloss over it, make it better, help them heal. Leave them be. Once bitten, twice shy. And this might well be an old event, an old wound. It still rankles. Make sure you are kind and nurturing to your spirit if it has been bruised. You are a treasure, Gemini. Shine brightly again. It's all happening and everything feels like a priority! Frankly, you'd prefer life to get narrower and simpler, so you could walk a straight line and tick off the boxes without having to veer all over the place. Cancer, take control of your to-do list. What is urgent, important, solely for you alone, and desirable? Anything not in those compartments can wait—if not be left behind altogether. Be more ruthless. You are in demand, and always will be, you are going to have to set your own agenda. The next two weeks represent a streamlining phase, getting your house in order, focusing on the big stuff again. It will feel liberating. Mentorship is a vastly under-rated activity and something I think we all do unofficially in our workplaces and friendship circles, but rarely call it out as that. The Hierophant puts you in the market for a mentor- be that getting one yourself or providing that valuable role for someone else. It can be about literal teaching, passing on a skill or piece of knowledge. It can be about personal development and resonating with someone who has achieved or exhibits something you covet. It could be gaining a creative or commercial sounding board for your ideas. Think about this, think about what you need and what you can offer. Mentorship is where it's at for you. Do yourself an awesome favor this week, Virgo, and release something heavy or troubling to the past. Simply detach its hooks from your mind (drown it out with music or affirmation whenever it tries to sneak back in) and imagine it being cast into a fast-flowing river, being swept away out to the sea, never to be seen or heard of again. And then put something lovely and inspiring in its space- be that a daydream, activity, hobby, fantasy, new creative project, beautiful trip or event to organize, or even just a great book or podcast. Replace the old with the new. Feel fantastic. Libran love lives are rarely straightforward because your Venus ruler brings you way too many admirers for just one lifetime! You often find yourself mixed up in rather convoluted entanglements that you really didn't mean to get into… and, as Britney said, Oops, you did it again! The Lovers shows attractions surging, temptations raging, and illicit affairs wafting around the edges. Do what you're going to do, Libra, but just know you will also do the consequences! Think carefully and consider what price you're prepared to pay for this extra curricular fun! Maybe you should sit this drama out. Damage accumulates. It's a fact of life. The older you get, the more emotional blows you will endure, and the trick here is to become wiser not wounded. No one avoids pain. No one escapes unscathed from life. And you know this, in fact you wrote the book on it. The Five of Pentacles asks you to help people in your circle who you can see taking on damage in some shape or form. Lend them your strength and wisdom, encourage them through, listen quietly to their fears. This kind of support is always remembered and, a bonus, I promise it will help you with your own processing and healing too. We all need to come together when times are tough. A few new things could be in the cards for you, Sag, like a new romance, rekindling of an existing one, a new baby or pregnancy, a new pet, or a new creative project. The gist is that something you are going to love deeply is being birthed into your realm this week. Look out for Water sign folk (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio), look out for imaginative, creative, whimsical places and invitations, look out for instant attractions or instincts that light your heart up. This is a week to be led wholly by your heart and soul. What FEELS good IS good. Don't overthink it, don't talk yourself out of it. Jump in and receive what's meant for you. You never need telling twice, Cap, you get on with what you know needs doing, you kinda' don't need a boss or mentor. The Nine of Wands, however, is a bit like a taskmaster that turns up tapping its pencil on a pad and asking you why you haven't done what you know you ought to do. Does it feel like it's going to be too difficult?I promise it won't be. This card is a reassurance and an encouraging sign that your hardest issues are not half as bad as you fear, and once started will dissipate far quicker than you anticipate. So get to it. You know what, Aquarius, you deserve every success coming your way! You are honest, helpful, inspiring, motivated, and always there to make things better, improve whatever is faltering, and pull your weight. It's rare. The King of Pentacles suggests it's your time to believe in yourself and your capability and rise up. Look for promotion, advancement, more responsibility (and reward), legacy-building opportunities, or entrepreneurial openings. Your ideas can be manifested. You have every bit of determination, creativity, intellect, and charisma needed to turn daydreams into actual living, breathing enterprises. Don't doubt yourself. The Devil shows up when we're noticing our own BS. Maybe a bad habit, old pattern, dead end, or unhealthy self belief. It's something that has gone on for a long time and kept you tethered or constrained in some way. We all circle the same barren ground for a while before we recognize we need new landscape and stimulus. You have reached that point. You are ready to run for the hills and abandon the old, dead weight versions of yourself that feel heavy and draining. Reinvention. Rebirth. Renewal. It's going to be an empowering, enlightening week, Pisces!

Your Career Horoscope for July 25, 2025
Today brings fresh momentum and new opportunities, with just the right balance between action and reflection across your professional path. Find daily astrological predictions for all sun signs for July 25. We recommend reading the horoscopes for your rising sign. Aries Career Horoscope While the Moon is still two days away from its last visit to your work sector before Mars leaves and it is when they connect early next week that things will really take off, the warrior planet of the cosmos already has the gloves off. After a bit of pressure from the lunar nodes earlier in the week when it comes to knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off, by the time Mars moved into his final two weeks here yesterday, you have everything needed to put your foot on the gas and go for broke. Taurus Career Horoscope It is just as the Sun and Moon align to create today's New Moon, that their clash with Pluto in your career sector peaks. Any work/life balance tension this might create along with the Moon's return to a playful and creative part of your chart over the weekend, couldn't come with better timing. With the professional gods less than two weeks away from giving work and job matters the green light and pushing 'go' on the busiest months of 2025, this is the right reminder at the right time. Gemini Career Horoscope As the Moon leaves your income sector, this will leave you with more than just a sharp nose for money and a lucrative sense of direction as Jupiter's long term quest for income growth and expansion powers up. As well as leaving you with a download of information to unpack from across the income, work and career fronts, this has helped to lock in the professional support that will support the lucrative months ahead. Click here to follow our WhatsApp channel for tarot readings, love, health, career, and Chinese horoscopes delivered to your phone daily! Cancer Career Horoscope Two days after the Sun returned to your income sector and just as his friendly aspect to Saturn and Neptune on the career front peaks, the Moon not only returns today but as a New Moon. This puts the Moon into the same aspect, turning a New Moon that can give income potential the green light into something that can also act as a trigger and/or piggyback off the professional potential that has been building over the last few months. Leo Career Horoscope For the first time this year, the Moon is wrapping up its ordinary monthly visit to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart without getting pushback from planets demanding you keep your work hat on. In fact, this is for the first time in six years, giving you your first insight into the full impact Uranus' departure earlier in the month. While this leaves you with everything needed to keep work and job matters on track, without a need to have your work hat on 24/7. Virgo Career Horoscope Two days into the month long wind down of your old solar year, the Moon not only joins the Sun in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart today, but just as they both clash with Pluto on the other side of the sky in your busy work sector. While this is putting how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off in the spotlight, it comes just as both sides of life's fence have the kind of support and resources to get it right. Libra Career Horoscope Two days after the Sun left your career sector, as the Moon leaves, this will do more than just leave you with your professional instincts sharp and a better understanding of the insight gained during the month that the solar spotlight was on your career and professional situation, matters and options. As well as leaving you with a download of information to unpack from across the income, work and career fronts, this has been a chance to get a read on the forces that will continue to power this professional year. Scorpio Career Horoscope Two days after the Sun returned to your career sector, something that at this time each year will always put the solar spotlight on your career and professional situation, matters and options, the Moon not only returns today but as a New Moon. While a New Moon is all about new beginnings and this can give both job and career potential the green light, this also connects with planets that are holding the doors open to the past and untapped potential on both fronts. Sagittarius Career Horoscope It is just as Mars has moved into his final two weeks in your career sector and with it a chance to finally put his foot on the gas and go for broke, that the Sun and Moon have come together to power up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence. This is thanks to a New Moon that won't run its course for another two days and as it is at the start of next week that the Moon and Mars will come together to bring things home, this will make it easier to hold back. Capricorn Career Horoscope While Venus is now in her final week in your work sector, with the Moon due to return to your career sector before she leaves next week, the best is still to come. While this will be an ordinary monthly visit and the heart of the working week this is going to bring things together on the income, work and career fronts, this last visit before Mars returns will make Venus' final days some of the best. Until then, you can hold back while continuing to listen to what your heart is telling you. Aquarius Career Horoscope Two days after the Sun left your work sector, something that at this time each year will always take the solar spotlight off your work situation and job matters, the Moon wraps up its monthly visit. Because the Moon returned just before the Sun left and over the last few days has connected with the forces across the income, work and career fronts that are here to stay, this allows you to move into this next phase with confidence. Pisces Career Horoscope Two days after the Sun returned to your work sector, the Moon not only returns today but as a New Moon. This is a New Moon that will always fall at some point during the Sun's month long visit, with the Sun and Moon coming together to give work and job potential the green light and to propel things forward. However, this is also able to act as a trigger for the planets that are holding the doors open to the past, second chances and untapped potential on both the income and job fronts.
