Your daily horoscope: July 12, 2025
Whatever you decide to change this weekend will need to be changed back again at a later date, so be smart and leave things as they are. With Saturn about to begin its retrograde phase you need to be more of an observer than a doer.
Be careful what you say over the next 48 hours because the words you use could be hurtful without you realizing it. Not everyone is as robust as you, so be mindful of the fact that some people can be ultra sensitive to negative comments.
You can, if you wish, shut yourself away from the world and brood over what's gone wrong of late, but will that actually change anything? Of course not. Get out there and interact with everyone you meet – because someone will have the answers you seek.
It's not wrong to put your own interests first but the planets warn you will accomplish more in the long-term if you bring other people into your plans as equal partners. If you are not already a team player then it's time to become one.
As Saturn begins its retrograde phase in the most adventurous area of your chart this weekend it will pay you to be a little less reckless in the way you interact with the world. Remind yourself often that actions always have consequences.
You will be forced to face facts this weekend and it may not be the most pleasurable experience. A dream of some sort is still attainable but you are going to have to be much more structured in your approach than you have been of late.
What goes out of your life this weekend will free up a lot of room for bringing new things, and new people, into your orbit. Start chucking out all those possessions you own but never use – at the very least you will create more closet space.
All things may be possible but that does not mean you can do everything in one go. The message of the stars this weekend is that you need to be more selective in your activities, especially if you want to make a good impression on the work front.
It's not like you to doubt your own abilities but there will be times this weekend when you start to wonder if you have bitten off more than you can chew. You need to catch that insecurity early and banish it from your thoughts completely.
A risk you took a while back is about to rebound on you and at the very least you will have to admit that you pushed your luck too far. No great harm will be done but you must learn from the experience so as not to repeat it.
Someone you thought you could rely on will be less than helpful over the next 48 hours but it's no big deal and you must not let it come between you. Act on the assumption that they have their reasons for giving your suggestions a miss.
A setback of some sort, maybe of a financial nature, will catch you by surprise this weekend. It has actually been a long time in the making but your mind was focused on other matters. Now though you can and you must give it your full attention.

Your lookahead horoscope: June 29, 2025
What level of success will you be aiming for over the coming year? Your birthday chart warns if you overextend yourself you could end up with a lot less than if you had aimed just a little bit lower. You don't need it all, that's just being greedy. Do something different over the coming week, something that disrupts your routine and forces you to come up with new solutions to problems that have been with you for quite a while. And remember, rules are there to be broken. There is always something higher to aim for in life and your priority for the coming week must be to set yourself targets that take you above and beyond what you thought you were capable of. Ambition plus enthusiasm equals success. Speak up and make sure your voice gets heard. There is a lot of background noise in your life at the moment, so stand on a chair and wave your arms about until you get everyone's attention. Then tell them all a few home truths. The most important thing now is that you do the right thing even if it costs you financially. Principle is way more important than profit, so don't count the cost of being honest, because in the long-term it will work massively in your favour. You may be in the mood to make a few waves but the planets suggest it might be best to keep a low profile during the early part of the week. The less you draw attention to yourself now the more room for manoeuvre you will have later on. Mercury, your ruler, is pretty active at the moment, and its link to power planet Pluto means you would be wise to watch what you say when dealing with people in positions of authority. If you come across as too critical they will hold it against you. Do you stick with what you know and trust or do you try something new and put your reputation on the line? Cosmic activity in the career area of your chart means if you don't make a move now you may regret being too timid later on. You may be tempted to call time on a project of some kind but why would you do that when so much is going in your favour? If you focus on the good stuff over the coming week you may find the bad stuff isn't so bad after all. The pace of life will heat up a lot over the coming week, so prepare yourself mentally and physically so you can get moving at a moment's notice. You won't get advance warning of when things start to change, so you've got to be ready. If something you have been working on for weeks or even months no longer inspires you then drop it and start something else. You are under no obligation to keep plugging away at a task that bores you so much you find it hard to stay awake. You will need to make a serious effort not to upset people both at home and at work this week. Even if they make the kind of mistakes that really annoy you, getting mad about it won't change a thing. Grin and bear it, for now. You may take pride in what you are doing but not everyone shares your enthusiasm. If other people's performance fails to live up to your high standards all you have to do is cut ties with them the first chance you get, which will be soon. Discover more about yourself at

London's secret wartime tunnels are set to draw tourists with a spy museum and underground bar
LONDON — There is a history-rich part of London that few people have seen, where the city braced for the Blitz, James Bond's creator got inspiration and secret Cold War messages passed between Washington and Moscow. It's a network of tunnels 100 feet (30 metres) below the streets that was secret for decades — but could be the city's next big tourist destination. Local authorities have approved plans to fill the 90,000 square-foot (8,400 square-metre) site with an intelligence museum, an interactive World War II memorial and one of the world's deepest underground bars. 'It's an amazing space, an amazing city,' said Angus Murray, chief executive of The London Tunnels, as subway trains rattled overhead. 'And I think it tells a wonderful story.' A vast bomb shelter The tunnels lie directly below London Underground's Central Line in the city's Holborn area. Work to dig them began in secret in 1940, when Britain feared invasion by Nazi Germany. They were designed to shelter up to 8,000 people in a pair of parallel tunnels 16 1/2 feet (5 metres) wide and 1,300 feet (400 metres) long. The tunnels were never used for that purpose; by the time they were finished in 1942 the worst of the Blitz was over, and Underground bosses had opened up subway stations as air raid shelters for Londoners. Instead, the tunnels became a government communications center and a base for the Special Operations Executive, a clandestine unit that sent agents — many of them women — on perilous sabotage missions in Nazi-occupied territory under orders from Prime Minister Winston Churchill to 'set Europe ablaze.' A naval officer named Ian Fleming was a liaison officer to the SOE, and the subterranean HQ may have provided inspiration for the world of secret agent 007 that he went on to create. 'This truly is the Q Branch of James Bond,' said Murray, referring to the thrillers' fictional MI6 quartermaster and gadget-maker. After the war, more tunnels were added to the complex and the site became a secure telephone exchange. From the mid-1950s it was a terminus of the first trans-Atlantic undersea telephone cable. After the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the world to the brink of nuclear war in 1962, a 'red telephone' hotline between the Pentagon and the Kremlin was established and ran through here. Up to 200 people worked underground, bound to secrecy but with the compensation of an onsite canteen and bar. For a time, the site also housed a bunker to be used by the government in the event of nuclear war. By the 1980s, technology had moved on and British Telecom moved out. The tunnels lay largely forgotten until BT sold them in 2023 to Murray's private equity-backed group. Plans include a memorial to the more than 40,000 civilians killed by German bombing in the war, cultural exhibitions and a nightspot that Murray boasts will be 'the deepest bar in the world in a city.' Secret wartime history It also will house Britain's Military Intelligence Museum, which is currently tucked away on a military base north of London with limited public access. Museum bosses have agreed to move a collection covering more than 300 years of history to the tunnels, bringing a much higher profile for a story they believe needs to be told. 'It's not targeted at people who already have an interest in military topics,' said the chair of the museum's board of trustees, who gave only his first name, Alistair, because of the museum's connection to Britain's armed forces. 'A heavy theme that will run through the new museum is that there are skills and tools that military intelligence has developed over years and centuries … and the fundamental one is, how do you tell truth from lies?' he said. 'That's a very big theme of now.' The museum also will flesh out the secret story of the Special Operations Executive. The museum's collection contains agent messages, supplies, weapons and sabotage equipment from the SOE's wartime adventures. 'Most of the people that worked in SOE never talked about it, either at the time or afterwards, and many of the records have disappeared,' Alistair said. 'So a lot is known about SOE, but we don't know everything, and the chances are we will never know everything.' A unique attraction For now, the tunnel entrance is through an unmarked door in an alley, and walking the cool, dim corridors brings the thrill of discovering a hidden corner of history. Within the thick steel and concrete walls are chunky old generators and telecoms equipment, a staff canteen with its kitchen still intact, and the bar, its 1960s orange and brown décor giving off retro 'Austin Powers' vibes Here and there are graffiti tags and a few items left by urban explorers who snuck in over the years, including a set of bowling pins with ball, and — incongruously — a bear costume. London Tunnels aims to open in 2028, and to attract up to 4.2 million tourists a year. That may sound ambitious, but Murray says the site's mix of 'history and heritage and novelty' makes it a unique draw. 'If you go home and say, 'I went to this really cool tunnel today,' then we're halfway there,' he said. 'If what's inside of it is even better, you're going to go 'Oh that's fantastic.''
