The Virgo sun’s unparalleled work ethic combined with the Aries moon is a fearsome force by day, a soothing campfire by night. It brings to mind the balance of work to rest, an ideal in the mind very rarely reflected in reality. The exertion of effort goes through many stages: fun, interesti…
The Aries lunar energy makes quick work of the cleanup after the full moon in Pisces. There are many questions that seemed extremely relevant last night — or even a few hours or minutes ago — that could be asked and yet won’t be, as they will hardly seem pertinent now. It’s like the world ha…
But a few hours into the Mercury retrograde, the shift in relationship dynamics may be palpable. Where do you stand? Who can you rely on? Who relies on you and for what? These questions and more will be answered with real-life evidence in the weeks to come. Let time unfold the story. No need…
Mercury goes retrograde in Libra, the sign of relationships, and will continue with the mischief until Sept. 23. Don’t worry; optimal results can come out of trouble, which is at the very least more interesting than a predictable pattern. This jostle in the realm of partnership might be just…
As Mercury stations to turn retrograde, difficulties and contradictions may be part of the plot. Keep in mind that just because something takes more effort than you want to give or scrapes uncomfortably against your worldview, that does not mean it has to be approached in all seriousness.
The Aquarius moon encourages fellowship and joining. Just remember, it’s all optional! People have plans and wishes that involve you, but you’re not obligated to take them on. They will construct rewards to bribe you into their fold, which is not necessarily a bad place to be, unless you hav…
Discussion groups, meetings and social life in general will be rife with this common but annoying tendency: People ask questions they have no interest in finding answers to. The Capricorn moon advises you listen through the ruse to get to the real purpose for the question. Then, give them wh…
There is no print edition of The Post-Star on Monday. Here are horoscopes for Sunday and Monday.
According to Shakespeare, a rose by another name would still smell as sweet. Science suggests otherwise. A rose named, for instance, “rancid garbage” could alter a sniffer’s perception enough to give a lower rating to the scent. Words are powerful tools. The current cosmic lineup encourages …
Should you go it alone or seek complementary companionship? Are you better as the solo act or as a member of the band? These are the questions as Mercury, in the sign of partnership, opposes Jupiter in the fiercely independent realm of Aries. Much depends on your vision. If it’s very strong,…
These last days of Venus in Leo are a chance to shoot for the stars in matters of the heart. Pour your heart into improbable odds, give your all regardless of the prize, think in terms of the big finish. If the Venus journey was a dance number, the time for double windmills has come. It’s be…
As the moon moves from the sign of partnership to the sign of sizzling connections, there’s a deepening of emotion. Relationships, projects and work take a different direction or undergo a change of scope. It’s an organic process, though the temptation to move things along might also be pres…
The same force keeps the galaxy spiraling, the planet orbiting and the people connected — attraction. It’s the force keeping the whole picture spinning, and yet, being invisible, it’s so easy to overlook. As the Libra moon teases Venus in her last days as the charismatic cat, don’t underesti…
Every emotion, even frustration and anger, serves a purpose. Hot emotions are loaded with fuel. It pays to be strategic with that power source. An emotion may be justified, and yet its expression doesn’t always fit the setting. The lunar conjunction to Mercury roots for our highest and best …

A reusable water bottle is good for the environment, but can also harbor bacteria. In fact, it could have more bacteria than a toilet. The Water Filter Guru says a study found that a squeeze top water bottle can have 6000 times more bacteria than a toilet. Your water bottle might be harborin…
Q: I am 76 and my wife is 58. I own our home outright, and she will inherit the house when I die through a living trust. Is it to her advantage to maintain the situation the way it is from a capital gains perspective, or should I add her to the deed now? I am thinking of the step-up in valuation of the house when she inherits it to minimize her capital gains tax if/when she sells the house.
Water containing a radioactive material has leaked for a second time from a nuclear plant near Minneapolis and the plant will be shut down, but there is no danger to the public. Xcel Energy says a leak of what was believed to be hundreds of gallons of water containing tritium was discovered this week from a temporary fix at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, where 400,000 gallons of water with tritium also leaked in November. The plant about 38 miles northwest of Minneapolis is scheduled to power down Friday so permanent repairs can begin. A monthslong delay in announcing the initial leak has raised questions about public safety and transparency, but industry experts say there was never a public health threat.
The specter of missing GoPro camera footage documenting the 2016 ski collision between Gwyneth Paltrow and a retired optometrist has been raised at trial in Park City. The daughter of a man suing Paltrow has testified Thursday that her father Terry Sanderson's health and cognitive function deteriorated after the collision, when he broke his ribs and suffered from a concussion. Paltrow has claimed that Sanderson was actually the culprit for the collision, and her attorneys also questioned the daughter about her father's mentions of Paltrow's wealth and celebrity. Paltrow is likely to be called to testify Friday or early next week.
The Republican-controlled North Carolina legislature has given final approval to a Medicaid expansion agreement. Thursday's state House vote reverses longstanding opposition to the measure, which now goes to expansion advocate and Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper for his signature. GOP legislative leaders reached a deal earlier this month, capping years of debate over whether the politically closely divided state should accept the federal government’s coverage for hundreds of thousands of low-income adults. North Carolina was one of 11 states that hadn't yet adopted expansion. The bill contains one caveat: A state budget law must be passed before expansion can be carried out.
A federal appeals court has blocked President Joe Biden’s order that federal employees get vaccinated against COVID-19. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans rejected arguments that Biden, as the nation’s chief executive, has the same authority as the CEO of a private corporation to require that employees be vaccinated. The ruling from the full appeals court — 16 judges at the time — reversed an earlier ruling by a three-judge appellate panel that had upheld the vaccination requirement. Opponents of the policy said it was an encroachment on federal workers’ lives that neither the Constitution nor federal statutes authorize.
