Your lookahead horoscope: June 9, 2025

Sometimes in life you have to give up something valuable in order to gain something even more precious. Keep that thought in mind over the coming year as you are challenged to give up on things you no longer need. Be brave and let them go. You may have neglected the needs of partners and loved ones in recent weeks but Jupiter's move into the domestic area of your chart today will help you make amends. Don't just say 'I love you' – do something dramatic that proves you mean it. If you make an effort to get out and about as the new week begins you will make friends with some seriously interesting people. As they also share your overall outlook on life you can make a real difference in the world by working together. Jupiter leaves your birth sign today but that is not a cause for dismay. On the contrary, as the planet of good fortune is now moving into the financial area of your chart you can start turning one of your genius ideas into a very big payday. Luck planet Jupiter moves into your sign today, where it will stay for the rest of the year and beyond. You need to remember though that while the universe will do its utmost to help you succeed the effort and the enthusiasm must come from you. You seem to believe that you need to prove yourself so that your peers will respect you but in reality they respect you already, so all you have to do is carry on as before. Everyone knows what you are capable of, so go for it! Don't worry if you come in for criticism from someone in a position of authority today because they are not being hostile towards you in any way. On the contrary, they are desperate to see you succeed, which is why they are pushing you so hard. Cosmic activity in and around the career area of your chart means you will soon get the chance to boost your social and professional standing. You have always been a top ten player but by the end of this week you will be number one. Jupiter's move into the most adventurous area of your chart marks the start of a lengthy phase in which the positive side of your nature will be encouraged to come to the fore. Forget about recent minor failures and work towards some major success. It's not like you to have doubts but you do seem to be a bit less assured about what you are doing than you usually are. Whatever the reason for that might be you can get past it by seeking out challenges rather than trying to avoid them. With both Mercury and Jupiter moving through the partnership area of your chart there is no reason at all why you should fall out with anyone. If you show an attitude of compromise to other people they will do their utmost to meet you halfway. Changes on the work front may be alarming but they will undoubtedly work in your favor, so don't assume the worst and try to turn back the clock. The world is changing fast and there is no reason why you should not profit from that. Anyone who thinks you are too laidback to get ahead of your more pushy rivals will soon realize how wrong that is. With hardly any effort at all you will find yourself at the front of the pack today and heading for the finishing line. Discover more about yourself at

I'm Preparing for My Next Road Trip: This Is My Travel Prep Checklist

I love to travel, whether it's hopping a flight to a far flung destination with friends, or hopping in the car for a long road trip. While I love planning my next trip, I still get anxious every time. All of the moving parts of travel start to add up, leaving me stressed and trying to figure out what I've forgotten. Even though I travel often, I still get flustered thinking about how I'm going to fit everything I want to take in my suitcase or carry-on, how best to navigate TSA security lines and even how I need to prepare my home to spend several days away. I'm currently planning a 10-hour road trip to Florida, and while I'm excited to see my loved ones and explore nature, I'm already feeling the pressure of undertaking such a big trip that requires two full days of driving one way. It's nothing I can't handle with a little preparation, though. I just need to take it step by step. To start this preparation journey, I compiled tips to make the whole travel process smoother, no matter if I'm booking a flight or gearing up for a road trip. Want more travel tips? Here are the best times to book plane tickets for cheap airfare and how to avoid having your flight canceled or delayed. Tips for easier flying Airports can be anxiety-inducing even during the best of times. From researching flight cancellations to packing strategically to maximize space in your suitcase, here are some necessary tips for easier, stress-free flying. Fold, roll and cube clothing You may have your own unique approach to packing clothes. Some people opt for the folding method, others prefer rolling garments into tight logs and some choose to flatten their clothes into packing cubes. My suggestion is to combine these three methods. You can maximize space by folding your structured and bulkier clothes like jeans, trousers, formal dresses, jackets and coats. Then, roll up the rest of your clothes and fill the remaining spaces in your suitcase. To further compress your items, place some of the rolled clothes into packing cubes for added organization. It's also helpful to pack loose items like socks and underwear into these compressed packing cubes. Prepare for TSA If you're flying, consider getting TSA PreCheck or Global Entry to skip the long lines and for easier security screening. Whether you're a frequent flier with these perks or showing up for the standard TSA lines, keep your electronics in a convenient spot where you can take them out and put them back with ease. It's best practice to have your electronics in the top layer or outer pocket of your suitcase, or your allotted personal item. Otherwise, you'll have to dig around for your laptop, iPad, etc. stalling the line behind you in the process. Pack essentials in your carry-on When you check your suitcase, you run the risk of losing it. I haven't had this happen frequently, but the one unfortunate time my checked suitcase was lost -- and I had to spend three days exploring London without my luggage -- I was thrilled that my essentials were still with me in my carry-on bags. Your carry-on or personal item is the optimal place for the essentials that would be most difficult to replace. This includes your wallet, contact lenses, eyeglasses, prescription medication, chargers, electronics or anything you would hate to not have for several days. Track your bags To give your luggage some extra protection from loss or theft, consider outfitting both your carry-on and checked bags with tracking devices like Apple AirTags or Chipolo One Point Trackers. Leave wiggle room It's very likely that wherever you travel, you'll want to shop and bring back souvenirs. That means you need to take into account any extra space you might need for the trip back to avoid overweight bag fees. Tips for a stress-free road trip Driving comes with its own set of concerns. From preparing for flat tires to mapping out your route, here are some necessary tips for easier, stress-free road trips. Get your car serviced beforehand If you're hitting the road this holiday season, you should take your car for an inspection to make sure you don't have any issues on the route. Ask the mechanic to check the tires, car battery, brakes, fluids and wiper blades, or anything else that may concern you. It's best to do this several weeks in advance to make sure you have plenty of time to fix any issues or order any parts. Prepare for an emergency Roadside emergency kits are a must-have if you're traveling any significant distance. Some 30 million roadside assistance calls are made every year, according to AAA, so it's best to be prepared for any emergency. Plan your route Maybe this seems like a no-brainer, but it's imperative to know which roads you'll be taking on your drive. Not only will this keep you confident while driving, but you can note any road closures or inclement weather that may impact your route and adjust your plan accordingly. For instance, sections of I-40 in North Carolina and Tennessee will be closed for the next several weeks, and knowing this means I can choose a new route for my Thanksgiving road trip and won't need to be rerouted miles out of the way, delaying my trip. As another safety measure, I recommend taking a screenshot or printing directions if you're traveling in regions where cell service could become spotty. You should also take into account any hotels, gas stations and rest stops along the route in case you get tired or need a quick stop. How to prepare your home before your trip To ensure that you'll come back to find your home just as you left it, follow these safety and home-preparation tips. Unplug your electronics Not only can unplugging electronics lower your energy bill, but it will also reduce the risk of electrical fires. Before you depart, unplug your appliances, lamps, chargers, routers, computers and TVs for maximum safety. Lock your windows Triple-check all your doors and secure all windows before you head out of town. Consider purchasing a smart lock that can alert you when a window is unlocked and allow you to lock it remotely or a home security system to arm your home while away. Time your lights Leaving lights on to make it look like you're home can deter any potential burglars. Rather than leaving lights on all day and night, plug light timers into your outlets or install a remotely controllable smart bulb. Then you can set your indoor lights to turn on and off as they normally would, and set your outdoor lights to turn on at night. Safety is a priority for most families when they travel. To keep your home safe and secure while you're away, follow this home safety checklist to complete before going on vacation. Keep your plants alive You don't have to leave your house plants to die when you travel. You can fashion a drip system out of a plastic water bottle by filling it with water, drilling some holes toward the top and placing it into the plant soil. Read this guide for a full tutorial on how to keep plants alive while traveling. For more travel tips, check out CNET's picks for the best travel credit cards in 2025.
