Your daily horoscope: June 28, 2025
If you feel the need to change jobs this year, or even switch to a whole new career, you must be brave and take the plunge. Why stay stuck in a working environment that does not appreciate you or reward you appropriately for your outstanding talents? With Neptune in your sign you may want to save the world but common sense should tell you to lower your sights a little. Is there someone you know – a family member or a friend – who is in need of assistance? Focus exclusively on them. You may suspect that someone is playing games with you but how can you know for sure? The simply fact is you cannot, so be on your guard this weekend but don't erect the kind of barriers that make it obvious you no longer trust them. You must speak plainly and clearly over the next 48 hours, even if what you have to say is unlikely to endear you to other people. Mercury, your ruler, will encourage you to work out what is really going on and then let everyone know about it. You may not be entirely convinced that what others insist is a golden opportunity is right for you but don't dismiss it out of hand. It could be that if you give it a go now you will come into some serious money early next week. You know what it is you want out of life and you will go all out to get it over the next few days. Anyone who thinks they can dissuade you from following your dream could find themselves in their own living nightmare! You may not be one for keeping secrets but if you are smart you won't go public with information that could one day benefit you personally. Knowledge is power and what you know could be worth a great deal of money as well. Try to be realistic about what you can expect from other people. Not everyone shares your drive and ambition, or your clear-sighted views of what needs to be done in the world, so make allowances for those of lesser talents and fainter hearts. You need to stop pussyfooting around on the work front and get started on something that could one day bring you both fame and fortune. Don't wait for the stars to align and everything to be perfect, just go for it and make it happen. Differences of opinion with friends and colleagues are inevitable this weekend but if you don't make too a big deal of them it's unlikely they will hold you back. You can disagree a little and still work together toward a common goal. The planets warn that some of the people you will be dealing with this weekend have extremely thin skins, so try not to be too critical about what they are doing and how they are doing it. You don't want them to break down completely. You will need to be on your guard this weekend, especially when dealing with situations that are in some way alien to you. If you don't know what your next move should be then don't be afraid to ask someone who has a lot more experience. A sudden insight into how to make money must not be ignored. The fact that no one else seems to have noticed it does not mean it is wrong – it just means they don't have the imagination to see past the traditional way of doing things.

What was NHL thinking with draft format that set league's entry draft back decades?
One of the highlights (low bar, admittedly) of the spectacularly ridiculous NHL entry draft on Friday night came when comedian Adam Sandler announced the Boston Bruins choice with the seventh overall pick in the opening round. Article content The joke, however, was on the league and its idiotic decision to effectively ruin the presentation of one of its signature events. Article content Article content With representatives from teams not on site in Los Angeles for the first time and the traditional meet and greet between player and management done remotely, well, you just knew there were going to be cringe-worthy moments. Article content And on cue, seconds after Happy Gilmore himself announced James Hagens as the Bruins prized selection, there may as well have been a laugh track. Once on stage, the Boston College product walked into something called the Draft House — don't ask — to look at a group of Bruins executives beamed in via Zoom from Boston. And look was all Hagens could do. Article content What was supposed to be an emotional welcome to the NHL moment instead turned awkward, thanks to technical difficulties that muted those Boston staffers presumably excited with their newest would-be star. So instead of an attempt at legit emotion, Hagens sheepishly waved at the screen and said 'thanks for drafting me.' Article content It got worse, as absurd moments stacked up on each other. It was unclear who the NHL could possibly have identified as a target audience that would appreciate what was happening, but from bizarre to juvenile, the misses were many. Article content Awkwardness was always going to be part of the show when the NHL went for cheap and contrived by opting for its 'decentralized' draft format for the first time, allowing GMs and their vast hockey operations departments to work from home, essentially. Article content Article content Unfortunately it set one of the league's signature events back decades with a futile format bordering on embarrassment. Article content Article content It sucked the emotion out of what was a dream sequence for every young hockey player with NHL aspirations. Article content It muted the excitement of the respective fan bases, given the cold and awkward approach to unveiling their new talents. Article content The main event itself was held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles where commissioner Gary Bettman was live, as were the first-round picks. But once a player was drafted and on stage, and sauntered into that inane Draft House for a contrived video interview with his new employers, it tended to go off the rails — at best — and fail spectacularly at worst.
