Summer Solstice 2025
Today, the Summer Solstice is a time when we plant the seeds of things we want to grow,' Polina Arutiunian, an astrologer at Nebula, a spiritual guidance platform, told The Post.

'You may find yourself focusing more on your emotional state and domestic life, Aries. This is the perfect time to make changes in your home, reframe relationships with family members, or even alter your living situation,' said Arutiunian.
She told The Post the sun's standstill could dredge up long-buried fears, experiences, and emotions for Aries folk. Trust that whatever comes up is looking to change form — for the brighter and better.

For the bull brigade, the Summer Solstice lights up your third house of language, cognition, expression, and exchange.
'The Summer Solstice may highlight new beginnings in communication, Taurus. For some of you, this transit could bring up heartfelt conversations that will mark the start of a new cycle,' said Arutiunian.
She advises Taurus folk to avoid arguments on this day — and focus instead on olive branches and peaceful bedrock.

Happy Solstice Gemini!
The peaking sun shines a light on your second house of wealth and worth, encouraging you to bring your finances and the feelings they are tied to out of the dark. You're advised to avoid spending when you're feeling low or risking it all when you're feeling lucky.
When you're trying to decide on the necessity of a bet or purchase, consider this Swedish proverb.
'He who buys what he does not need, steals from himself.'

Happy return of the sun to you, Cancer!
'The Summer Solstice is your time to shine. All your actions could lead to a new beginning for the next six months, so make sure you approach every precipice with confidence. It's a great time to start a new project, take on new work, or make a change to your appearance,' said Arutiunian.

The Summer Solstice lends light to your twelfth house of the unconscious, Leo — the domain of dreams, dissolution, and ghosts.
'This is truly a magical time for you. Hidden feelings and wishes may arise, possibly even from the past. It's time for deep self-reflection to separate your true desires from illusions,' said Arutiunian.
She notes that big cats can get big downloads from their dreams during the days surrounding the Solstice.
Pay mind to what catches light when you power down.

Ahoy, Virgo!
The sun stands still and ingresses into Cancer, illuminating your tenth house of community. Your future is coming into focus and fruition.
'You have all the opportunities to start something new, especially in collaborative work projects, within your team, or in friendships. The most beneficial practice for you will be writing down all your plans for the next six months – this is your way to start a new cycle,' said Arutiunian.

'The peak of the Sun's energy fills your 10th house, Libra. You might notice a new beginning in your career, public image, or even feel like your ambitions are growing,' said Arutiunian.
'This is the time to focus your forces on a work promotion, new job, or even an opportunity to move abroad — dream boldly and manifest broadly.'

Scorpions will feel a surge of exploratory energy in their ninth house of ideals and horizons.
'You might feel some fundamental changes in what you believe, even if those changes seem small at first, Scorpio. The Sun highlights the importance of higher education, your views, and values, and may even challenge them through emotional situations,' said Arutiunian.
To paraphrase Denis Waitley, we don't find fulfillment in the pursuit of happiness — but in the happiness of pursuit.

Happy Solstice to you, Sagittarius. The sun is shining in your shadowy eighth house of sex, death, resources, and regeneration.
'This transit may shift your focus to what needs to change, especially in your business, work projects, or partnerships. Don't be afraid to invite deeper transformations,' said Arutiunian.
To spur your metamorphosis, I offer you the words of Leon C. Megginson: 'It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.'

Arutiunian says the Summer Solstice and the onset of Cancer season will deepen relationships for Capricorn folk.
With the sun beaming into your seventh house of trusted partnership, you can magnetize what you want by acting like you deserve it fully and trust wholly that it is on its way to you.
Whether you're looking to call in a partner or cement a commitment, now is the hour.

Happy solstice, Aquarius!
The energy of the solstice encourages you to turn your attention to bodily health, daily routine, and habitual rituals.
'It's a good time to start a new discipline or system in your routine, or even take on a new responsibility, like caring for a pet,' said Arutiunian.
Whatever you initiate on or around the solstice is imbued with the fire power of the sun at its peak, a solar boon that bolsters success. Get to it!

'You may experience a beautiful new cycle forming in your life, Pisces, especially when it comes to love,' shared Arutiunian. 'It's a great time to start an artistic project, go public with a pursuit, or even begin planning for children if that's your wish.'
Regardless of how creation takes form for you under the standstill sun, Pisces, you are poised for a bountiful ROI.

Mexican navy ship that slammed into Brooklyn Bridge may return to New York next year
The doomed Mexican tall ship that slammed into the Brooklyn Bridge in May is hoping to make a 'triumphant return' to New York next year to join the record-breaking flotilla slated to storm the harbor, The Post has learned. The Cuauhtémoc is slated to be one of the 30 Class A International Tall Ships to parade through the Harbor as part of the US's semiquincentennial birthday — as long as the ship's three ornate masts can be repaired. The masts were destroyed in the tragic accident in spring that claimed the lives of two young mariners and left 19 other people injured. Advertisement The Mexican Navy now has exactly one year to restore the Cuauhtémoc to its glory and join what will be the largest flotilla to ever sail through the port of New York and New Jersey. 5 The Cuauhtémoc is undergoing repairs for the damages it sustained after striking the Brooklyn Bridge. AP 'We see it as a kind of triumphant return,' Chris O'Brien, the president of Sail4th 250, the organizer for next year's blockbuster event, told The Post. Advertisement 'They're going to be executing their repairs and so the invitation is still open for them to join us.' When asked if the Mexican Navy has indicated whether it plans to return, O'Brien said: 'I can't speculate there, but we are maintaining positive lines of communication.' The Mexican Navy is in the midst of repairing the damage, which was mostly sustained on the Cuauhtémoc's three masts that were severed when they smacked into the Brooklyn Bridge, a spokesperson for the National Transportation Safety Board told The Post. 5 The cause of the collision is still under investigation. Xinhua/Shutterstock Advertisement The extent of the repairs needed was not immediately clear. The damage to the 147-foot-tall training vessel is expected to exceed $500,000. The NTSB is still investigating the cause of the collision, which could take at least a year, or as long as two, a spokesperson told The Post. A preliminary report released Monday revealed that the vessel was inexplicably sailing backwards — and picked up speed — before the fatal collision. 5 Two cadets who were manning the masts were killed during the crash. James Keivom Advertisement 5 The damage to the ship is expected to exceed $500,000. James Keivom It did not answer what caused the 'major marine casualty,' including why the docking pilot's orders to stop the vessel didn't have any effect. At the time, dozens of cadets were 'manning the masts,' meaning they were standing on and strapped to the ship's three masts — a universal sign of respect every time a ship enters and leaves a port. Two crew members who were on the masts plummeted to the ship's deck during the collision and were later pronounced dead at local hospitals. Should the repairs be completed in time, the ship will take part in the six-day, once-in-a-lifetime event slated for July 3 to 8 next year to celebrate America's 250th birthday. 5 The NTSB investigation could take at least a year. Leonardo Munoz The flotilla of 30 international tall ships and 40 gray hull vessels will be the highlight of the festival, fittingly taking place on July 4. Advertisement The ships, each a military training vessel from another country, will ceremoniously voyage into the harbor from beneath the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge before landing in ports on Staten Island, in Brooklyn and Manhattan. A 'senior government official' will be aboard the incredible parade — but planners wouldn't budge on naming the guest of honor.

Daily Horoscope for July 04, 2025
General Daily Insight for July 04, 2025 A reality check demands change. As perfectionist Venus joins innovative Uranus in connection-centered Taurus, we're being asked to take leaps of faith, as well as opening ourselves to sudden opportunities for new connections. As Venus leaves its home sign of Taurus at 11:31 am EDT, it enters intellectual Gemini, creating conversations about feelings that we once didn't have words for. Lastly, dreamy Neptune begins its retrograde motion through Aries, bringing a reality check and snapping us out of a daydream. Say yes to clarity. Aries March 21 – April 19 Life is an ideal teacher at present — especially if you're open to new ways of seeing the world and willing to have someone else to accompany you on this journey. This person probably isn't a love interest; they're more likely to be a friend or family member who you're close with. Now is a great time to take a class or play a game with the people you care about. Whatever gets your mind working and sets conversation flowing! Taurus April 20 – May 20 It's time to pour from a full cup. Now that Venus has left its home sign of Taurus, you may feel as though it's time to take the focus off of yourself and onto someone important in your life. This person could need to lean on you in this phase of life. The more that you are there for them, the more that you might find that you and the other person feel closer than you were before. Let the connection between you bloom. Gemini May 21 – June 20 You're coming out of the darkness. You may have found that you were spending more time in isolation over the past month than you normally do, but you are now stepping into the sunlight. You might discover that people who were unavailable to spend time with you are now available, and opportunities for socialization begin to abound. There are those who appreciate what you're bringing to the table more than others, so make sure to go where you are genuinely wanted for best success. Cancer June 21 – July 22 Who you are doesn't have to be who you were. You may have felt as though you were losing your identity in the ideas of the people around you, and today is a good time to figure out how to shed whatever's been put on you by others. You can pick and choose which aspects to take with you into the future, because these are likely the ones that truly resonate with you, and are not from peer pressure. Be the new, real you! Leo July 23 – August 22 Your ambitions may be taking a backseat. You might find that, rather than your finances or career, you are more focused on creating an atmosphere in which you feel you can be your best self, as well as finding a friend group that will inspire and grow alongside you. If you already have this healthy social circle, do what you can to spend time with them as much as possible in the coming days. They might offer an opportunity that you won't want to miss. Virgo August 23 – September 22 There are no shortcuts here. You've been learning and developing all your life, and even though you may feel as though you haven't made enough progress towards your goals, you are being given an opportunity to use what you've learned. Sometimes it's less about the effort that you're putting in and more about which opportunities are available to you. Trying to rush your timing or hurry up and experience every possible thing is not how life works. Prepare until you're seizing the moment! Libra September 23 – October 22 You're breaking away from old chains. You may have felt held back by circumstances, people, or even habits in your life, but you have an opportunity to put hindrances behind you. Keep your eyes peeled for chances to travel or to study in a way that teaches new skill sets, fresh mindsets, or updated options when it comes to life in general. The story that you've been telling yourself up until this moment does not have to be your story forever. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 Feelings may grow deeper. Sudden changes can take place with someone in your life, where you begin to see them as more than you did before. This could be an acquaintance becoming a friend, a friend becoming a business partner, or a friend becoming chosen family. Allow yourself to be open to nourishing shallower connections — without that acceptance, they wouldn't be able to flourish. Don't feel like you have to share more than you're comfortable with, but give connection a chance. Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 Life might be more about experiencing than structuring right now. You may still have a laundry list of things that need doing, but you're meant to be there with someone who makes the process something to enjoy, rather than endure. When it comes to choosing between working as hard as you can to be the best or cultivating a group of people who support one another when a member of the team feels down, it might be more beneficial to pick the latter. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 It may be time to start making plans. You might have been focused solely on thinking outside the box lately, enjoying the brainstorming stage of a project or casually getting to know someone. Today, though, you're likely craving something more substantial. Building on the connections that you've created recently, as well as putting details down in stone on your projects, may take you further than you ever expected. Just make sure that you don't completely lose the fun, creative energy in the process! Aquarius January 20 – February 18 Your heart might be changing. People may think of you as innovative and on the cutting edge, but even you get settled in your comfort zone at times. You might begin craving paths in life that wouldn't have attracted you in the past, as well as seeking out more fun and excitement rather than security and comfort. It's time to shake off the cobwebs and try something that you've never tried before. The world is your oyster, so go out and experience it! Pisces February 19 – March 20 What was once a passing thought may be transforming into a part of your everyday life. Someone that piqued your interest, a new style of decor, or a hobby that looked fun could become your focus. The novelty and swiftness of the change can encourage you to enjoy each moment more intuitively instead of being in your head. As you let your heart lead, you'll build the ability to get more and more out of this change in your life. Embrace the unfamiliar!

Couples are choosing to give up sex — and they insist it's saving their marriages: ‘We learned to communicate better'
The lights are off, and nobody's home — and apparently, that's a good thing. Turns out, a little less action in the bedroom might be the very thing keeping some couples together. While sexless marriages are usually viewed as a one-way ticket to splitsville, more couples are sharing that their love lives — minus the actual lovemaking — are happier than ever. Advertisement Take Corey, who told Popsugar in a recent interview that after 13 years with her partner, their relationship reached a whole new high… without going low. 'During the time we weren't having sex, we were growing closer than ever,' Corey said. 'Sex is not the reason we are together; it's just a nice bonus.' The couple, who got together as hormone-fueled teens, hit a dry patch post-COVID — between chronic fatigue, body image issues and plain ol' burnout. Eventually, they just stopped prioritizing sex. Advertisement 'We just kind of weren't in the mood,' Corey explained. 'We learned to communicate even better and genuinely didn't fight at all.' Instead of calling it quits, they cuddled, kissed, went on dates — and realized their connection didn't hinge on bedroom gymnastics. 'Our relationship is strong, and it's built on mutual respect and genuinely liking one another,' Corey told the outlet. For some couples, less bedroom action is actually keeping the love alive. terovesalainen – Advertisement Corey isn't alone. In a related Reddit post, one man raved about his six-year sexless marriage: 'The decision to stay has been the best of my life, by far. For the past few years, I wake up every day feeling so lucky to be next to such a wonderful partner.' And these couples may be more on-trend than they think. As previously reported by The Post, according to a government study analyzed by the Institute of Family Studies, Americans are doing it less — or not at all. Advertisement Sexlessness is soaring among 22- to 34-year-olds, with 24% of men and 13% of women saying they hadn't had sex in the last year. 'In sum, for young adult males, sexlessness has roughly doubled across all measures over the last 10 years,' the IFS noted. 'For young adult females, it has risen by roughly 50 percent.' One major factor? Fewer folks are getting hitched — and those who are, aren't necessarily getting busy. A sexless marriage just might be the key to a healthy relationship. elnariz – Even inside marriages, some months are notoriously dry. Post-holiday stress, credit card bills and family drama all contribute to a nationwide libido nosedive. 'It's incredibly common for couples to experience a decline in intimacy during January,' relationship counselor Simone Jobson told The Post. 'The holidays create a lot of external pressure… most people just need time to rest and recover.' But a cold winter doesn't always mean a cold relationship. Advertisement As Corey proves, sometimes stepping back from sex helps couples find new ways to connect — and even make their way back to the bedroom. After two years of no sex, she and her beau recently started getting frisky again — but not out of guilt. 'Sex is a wonderful way to connect and feels great, but it doesn't have to be the basis of a marriage,' she said. Forget the seven-year itch — some couples are scratching their way to marital bliss by skipping the sheets altogether.
