Your daily horoscope: June 7, 2025
The fact that some of your colleagues are refusing to move with the times is good news for you. While they are dragging their feet you can be speeding ahead and taking advantage of new technologies and new opportunities. The future is NOW.
Social opportunities will come thick and fast this weekend and hopefully you will be adventurous enough to make use of them. Not only will your life be a lot of fun but some of the people you meet will become valuable contacts.
Can you trust what other people tell you? That depends on how well you know them and how often you have taken their advice in the past. Generally speaking though the planets are very much in your favour, so don't be afraid to take a chance.
You don't have to be assertive or aggressive to get ahead in the world, you just need to take note of the way the wind is blowing and make sure that is the direction you are travelling in too. And remember: the universe wants you to succeed.
You are not about to sit on the fence and watch the world go by, not when there are so many wonderful opportunities available to you in the world at large. Ignore those who say you should be cautious and take a big leap into the unknown.
You may be inclined to shoot the messenger if what you hear today is not to your liking but that would be unfair. If anything you should thank them for making sure you are up to speed with what is going on. Knowledge is power.
As mind planet Mercury moves into the career area of your chart this weekend this is the perfect time to figure out what your ambitions are going to be for the next few months, maybe even for the rest of the year. Dream the impossible dream.
You may be somewhat reserved by nature but with the planets about to move in your favour you need to get out into the world and make things happen. Act as if you are super confident and others will believe it and treat you with extra respect.
You may be tempted to wave the big stick and order those who are subordinate to you to do this and do that but there is really no need. They will be more than happy to follow your instructions if you stay calm and ask nicely.
Cosmic activity in and around your opposite sign makes this the ideal time to get friends and family members together for a serious chat about how you can help each other now and in the future. Never forget that you are on the same team.
You appear to believe that someone is out to make life difficult for you, but according to the planets that isn't so. In fact, if you adopt a pleasant attitude with everyone you meet you may be surprised to learn just how many friends you have got.
Any differences of opinion you have with partners and colleagues can and must be put behind you over the next 48 hours. With luck planet Jupiter moving in your favour early next week minor disagreements cannot be allowed to come between you.

Michael Madsen, star of Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, dies at 67
LOS ANGELES — Michael Madsen, the actor best known for his coolly menacing, steely-eyed, often sadistic characters in the films of Quentin Tarantino including Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill: Vol. 2, has died. Article content Madsen was found unresponsive in his home in Malibu, Calif., on Thursday morning and pronounced dead, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Watch Commander Christopher Jauregui said. He is believed to have died of natural causes and authorities do not suspect any foul play was involved. Madsen's manager Ron Smith said cardiac arrest was the apparent cause. He was 67. Article content Article content Madsen's career spanned more than 300 credits stretching back to the early 1980s, many in low-budget and independent films. He often played low-level thugs, gangsters and shady cops in small roles. Tarantino would use that identity, but make him a main character. Article content His torture of a captured police officer in Tarantino's 1992 directorial debut Reservoir Dogs, in which Madsen's black-suited bank robber Vic 'Mr. Blonde' Vega severs the man's ear while dancing to Stealers Wheel's Stuck in the Middle with You was an early career-defining moment for both director and actor. Article content Madsen told the Associated Press in 2012 that he hated having to do the scene, especially after the actor playing the officer, Kirk Baltz, ad-libbed a line where he begged for his life because he had children. Article content 'I just said, 'Oh my God,' I couldn't do it, I didn't want to do it,' Madsen said. 'Acting is such a humiliating profession.' Article content He would become a Tarantino regular. He had a small role as the cowboy-hatted desert dweller Budd, a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, in 2003's Kill Bill: Vol. 1, then a starring role the following year in the sequel, in which he battles with Uma Thurman's protagonist The Bride and buries her alive. Article content Madsen also appeared in Tarantino's The Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood. He was an alternate choice to play the hit man role that revived John Travolta's career in 1994's Pulp Fiction. The character, Vincent Vega, is the brother of Madsen's Reservoir Dogs robber in Tarantino's cinematic universe. Article content Article content Article content His sister, Oscar-nominated Sideways actor Virginia Madsen, was among those paying him tribute on Thursday. Article content 'He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother — etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark,' she said in a statement. 'I'll miss our inside jokes, the sudden laughter, the sound of him. I'll miss the boy he was before the legend. I miss my big brother.' Article content His Hateful Eight co-star and fellow Tarantino favourite Walton Goggins celebrated him on Instagram. Article content 'Michael Madsen… this man… this artist… this poet… this rascal…' Goggins wrote. 'Aura like no one else. Ain't enough words so I'll just say this…. I love you buddy. A H8TER forever.'

For George Takei, coming out has been a lifelong process
Social Sharing At a young age, George Takei learned that he was different — and being perceived as different could be dangerous. The actor who's best known for playing Hikaru Sulu on Star Trek spent his childhood in two internment camps during the Second World War, when people of Japanese descent were forcibly and wrongfully incarcerated across the U.S. and Canada. Takei wrote about that experience in his 2019 graphic memoir, They Called Us Enemy. After the war ended, Takei and his family moved to a low-income neighbourhood of Los Angeles where he quickly discovered that there was something else about him that made him different: he was attracted to other boys. "I decided I didn't want to be different again," the actor tells Q guest host Talia Schlanger in an interview. "I started acting like the other boys…. I was able to build another kind of barbed wire fence, an invisible barbed wire fence that kept me confined in my body and not visibly identifiable." Now, Takei has released a new graphic memoir, It Rhymes with Takei, which unpacks his experience living as a closeted gay man until 2005, when he publicly came out at the age of 68. In the book, he explains that coming out isn't as simple as opening a door — it's a lifelong process. "I use the metaphor for a long, narrow, dark corridor," he says. "But then you come to a window that allows a little light in … and you keep walking down that corridor and you finally reach that doorknob and you make a decision: you grab it and you open it, ready for combat, if you will." After being punished for his differences in childhood, it's understandable why Takei was fearful of revealing his true self. Even just 20 years ago, he thought disclosing his sexual orientation would mark the end of his career. "But the very opposite happened," he says. "Media seemed to love it. And I started getting calls from CBS, NBC, ABC, from various magazine periodicals. They wanted to know the story behind gay George Takei. Or they wrote roles, like on The Big Bang Theory, for gay George Takei in my Star Trek uniform. And my career blossomed."

Joey ‘Jaws' Chestnut reclaims title in Famous hot dog eating contest, wins 17th Mustard Belt
Five-time reigning champion Joey Chestnut competes in the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating World Championship, July 4, 2012, at Coney Island, in the Brooklyn borough of New York. (AP Photo/John Minchillo, File) Famed competitive eater Joey 'Jaws' Chestnut reclaimed his title Friday at the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July hot-dog eating contest after after skipping last year's gastronomic battle in New York for the coveted Mustard Belt. Chestnut, 41, consumed 70 1/2 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, falling short of his record of 76 wieners and buns set on July 4, 2021. It marked the 17th win in 20 appearances for the Westfield, Indiana, eater at the internationally televised competition, which he missed in 2024 over a contract dispute. Defending champion in the women's division, Miki Sudo of Tampa, Florida, won her 11th title, downing 33 dogs, besting a dozen competitors. Last year, she ate a record 51 links. A large crowd, many wearing foam hot dog hats, braved high temperatures to witness the annual eat-a-thon, held outside the original Nathan's Famous restaurant in Coney Island, Brooklyn, since 1972. Many show up to see Chestnut's much-awaited return to an event he has called 'a cherished tradition, a celebration of American culture, and a huge part of my life.' Chestnut bested 14 fellow competitors from across the U.S. and internationally, including Australia, the Czech Republic, Ontario, England and Brazil. Last year, Major League Eating event organizer George Shea said Chestnut would not be participating in the contest due to a contract dispute. Chestnut had struck a deal with a competing brand, the plant-based meat company Impossible Foods. Chestnut told The Associated Press last month that he had never appeared in any commercials for the company's vegan hot dogs and that Nathan's is the only hot dog company he has worked with. But Chestnut acknowledged he 'should have made that more clear with Nathan's.' Last year, Chestnut ate 57 dogs -- in only five minutes -- in an exhibition with soldiers, at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. He said that event was 'amazing' and he was pleased to still have a chance to eat hot dogs -- a lot of them -- on July Fourth. 'I'm happy I did that, but I'm really happy to be back at Coney Island,' he said. Last year in New York, Patrick Bertoletti of Chicago gobbled up a 58 to earn the men's title. By Susan Haigh
