The year ahead could be good and it could even be great but it certainly won't be boring. Take events as they come and strive to see the opportunities in each and every situation. Above all, believe you deserve the very best that life has to offer. Make it your business this weekend to clear the air of any bad feelings at home and at work – then everyone can start as friends again come Monday morning. Forget what other people said about you and invite them to forget what you said about them! Not everyone can be as rational in their thinking as you, so make allowances over the next 48 hours for some of the stupid statements that friends and family members come out with. Treat them like you would treat a child, with amused indulgence. The fact that your heart is not really in what others expect of you is of no importance. The only thing that matters is that you go out of your way to make them happy – because if they are happy they won't make life difficult for you. The fact that you helped out a friend in a crisis does not mean they will help you out in a similar way. If they say they are not in a position to assist you don't argue about it. The planets indicate that could work in your favour. If some of the people you love get excitable this weekend make it your business to calm them down by explaining that whatever it is that got them upset it means nothing in the greater scheme of things. Help them take a more philosophical attitude to life. A task you thought was going to be simple could turn out to be one of the hardest things you have ever done. That will make it all the more satisfying when you make a resounding success of it, which of course you will. If you find yourself in the spotlight this weekend don't try to escape it – instead, put on a show and make sure everyone knows what a hugely talented Libra you are. It's not always enjoyable being in the public eye but it could be if you embrace it. Someone who can use their influence to help your career will move into your life over the next 48 hours and you must not let them move out again without taking advantage of what they can offer. Don't hide your ambition, flaunt it instead! There is no point reacting to criticism if it comes from people you don't respect. Whatever it is they say about you this weekend just treat it as a joke and let them know you won't be changing your ways, not for them and not for anyone. The more other people try to wind you up this weekend the more you must call on your powers of self-control. The only reason they are trying to upset you is because they know you will outshine them. Stay calm and refuse to take the bait. If you are beginning to have doubts about what you are doing then it might be a smart move to make a tactical, if temporary, retreat so you can think it through from a safer position. A sight adjustment to your plans is probably all that's needed. Make an effort to see a dispute of some kind from the point of view of the people who oppose you. It can be all too easy to label others 'the enemy' just because you have contrasting ideas. Difference is what makes the world go around. Discover more about yourself at

Metro Detroit native breaks world traveling record after visiting every country
On Friday afternoon, Michael Zervos received an incredibly warm welcome at the Detroit Metro Airport. Several of his closest friends and family members flooded the terminal, celebrating the completion of a record-setting journey that had been years in the making. Zervos visited 195 United Nations-recognized countries in just 499 days. "It felt long, terminable, difficult, frustrating, but at the same time, it was beautiful. It was mesmerizing. It was captivating, meeting people from all walks of life everywhere in the world," Zervos said. This vision is part of his brainchild called Project Kosmos. He says it's a way to see as much of the world as possible, while asking natives in each country one crucial question: "What's the happiest moment of your life?" "I've always been a thrill seeker and wanted to test my limits. I guess challenging yourself makes you better, but on the other side of things, I wanted to tell stories. I wanted to collect stories across the world about happiness and help other people," he said. The idea was born in his pursuit of happiness. He says he overcame years of depression and got inspired after the pandemic. When he decided to change his life for the better, he wanted to explore what it truly means to be happy. "The smallest thing, a breeze a cup of coffee sitting down with loved ones those can give you as much happiness as winning a contest, breaking world record, even though it really is all about perspective and when you look at things small things, you can have those experiences of happiness pretty much every day and you don't have to climb a mountain to do it," Zervos said. You can follow his journey on social media and his website.

Your daily horoscope: May 30, 2025
You can, if you wish, charm the birds from the trees but if you leave our feathered friends alone and focus instead on your life goals you will soon be flying as high as they are. Why keep your feet on the ground when your prospects are unlimited? No matter how chaotic the world around you may be at the moment it won't stop you pushing on towards your ultimate goal. Mind planet Mercury will make it easy for you to focus on what matters to you personally – as for the rest, just ignore it. You may not be in the mood to listen to advice but don't be too stubborn about it because friends and family members can see things that you appear to have missed. Adopting a contrary viewpoint may not be in your best interests. The sun's union with Mercury in your sign will clarify your thinking and enable you to focus with laser-like intensity on what you most need to do. Anyone who thinks you can be persuaded to tone down your ambitions needs their head examined. You need to get over the fact that something you attempted did not work out the way you intended. Just because you got it wrong does not mean you were wrong to try it. Now move on and try something even more adventurous. You don't need to be told by others how wonderful you are, you know that already, but it's nice to be reminded that friends and loved ones value your presence in their lives. Now let them know that you value them every bit as much. Mercury, your ruler, joins forces with the sun today, making this the perfect time to get your head together about the direction your life needs to be moving over the next few months. The clearer your career goals the closer you will be to success. If you feel the need to rock the boat a bit today by all means do so. You are under no obligation to desist from saying things just because they might upset people of a sensitive disposition. Maybe that's their problem, maybe they need to toughen up. If you are smart you will readily admit that you don't know everything and that it's okay to learn from the people around you. Leave your ego at home today and seek out knowledge that can enrich you both emotionally and financially. You may not be the most cautious member of the zodiac but cosmic activity in your opposite sign means you must take account of what loved ones and work colleagues are doing before pushing ahead with your own objectives. Don't work against them, work with them. With so many opportunities available to you now you may be confused as to what is the best route to take. Sit quietly for a bit, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, and listen to what the intuitive side of your mind has to say. A Sun-Mercury link in the most dynamic area of your chart means now is the time to organize your thoughts and set yourself goals of a creative nature. The universe is very much on your side at the moment, so don't hold back in your plans. You may think you know someone very well but what they do today will shock you into understanding that you have been taking them for granted. Don't take it personally if they do the opposite of what you suggest. Let them make their own decisions. Discover more about yourself at
