Daily Horoscope for July 27, 2025
Creativity and an open mind will nourish today's seeds of positivity. There's only one aspect for today — the determined Moon working hand-in-hand for a sextile with optimistic Jupiter at 12:57 pm EDT. The Moon is in practical Virgo, leading us to think realistically as we make the world around us a better place, while Jupiter is in Cancer, bringing opportunities to improve our homes, our family lives, and our emotional health. The more that we stay grounded, the deeper our roots can grow.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Family and friends can assist you with your obligations. You may end up working alongside the people who care about you the most. Perhaps they're lightening your load by taking on responsibilities that you were doing all by yourself, or by being there to pass the time and entertain you while you complete work that only you can do. They might want to support you more than they're able to, but it's the thought that counts. If nothing else, let them cheer you up!
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
What's your favorite way to have fun? Keep your eyes peeled for any opportunities to indulge your soul and explore your creative side, since there should be plenty of them! The real problem is potentially deciding what you want to do and when you want to do it. Your friends or siblings might be inviting you on tons of exciting adventures — don't hesitate to say yes to anything that fits your schedule. There's no need to shy away from joy.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Newfound abundance could be cascading over your day. Whether this shows up as refreshed revenue sources, gifts, or positive relationships, you are likely to receive more than you ever expected. Others may be extra generous with you, as you could have a charm about you that leads people to trust you and want to give you opportunities. Don't take such blessings for granted. Make sure to show gratitude for anything you receive. The universe wants to spoil you today, so let it!
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Luck might seem practically glued to your side! You may feel like your footsteps are divinely guided today, fortuitously ending up in the right place at the right time. This is a time where you should be following your intuition rather than your usual routine. Staying locked into the norm could prevent you from receiving the maximum benefits, especially if you feel pulled to visit a place you don't normally go or reach out to someone you don't typically talk to. Let yourself be lucky.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Creativity can bring abundance into your life. Even if you aren't a particularly creative person, everyone has a talent that they're able to tap into and express their soul! Whatever this is for you, you're meant to indulge in it today. This could be dancing, painting, or simply journaling your freeform thoughts — whatever gets your creative mind flowing. Don't worry about where your inspiration might lead, because trusting the process is part of the beauty of it. Get into the flow.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
The people that you meet right now might be your lucky charms. You may meet a new friend today or even a group of people that bring positive circumstances into your life. Under this energy, isolating yourself is unlikely to bring you the abundance and joy that is indicated with spending time with other people. Instead, make an effort to mingle with the world around you. Get yourself out there and connect with like-minded people while remaining open to building connections with them.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Something that you never expected could progress your career or boost your reputation. Among your pre-existing connections, there are likely people who have been paying attention to you, whether they were looking into your career history or social sphere. If you're not seeking career growth, you could meet up with a life coach or mentor who can guide your continued growth into the person that you want to become. Seek out the people who live lives similar to the one you'd like to live.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Keep an open mind. Letting yourself be a student of the world today can bring you unique opportunities that you only dreamed of in the past. There might be people around who can teach you the kind of information that you want to absorb or help you to discover unknown horizons that you want to explore. Today is all about expanding your mind and finding new ways of thinking, so break past your old limitations and see what the world has to offer.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
The amount that you give back right now can boost your standing in the community. At present, you may find that the more you help others, the more others help you — even if it's not usually this way. People are more likely to be generous and reciprocal with your generosity today, and you can create lasting bonds with the people that you extend a hand to. While there might be a lot on your plate, if possible, take a second to give back.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
You could be showing someone else what the world has to offer. They may have been closed-minded in the past, but are ready to open their mind and are seeking your advice. Through mentoring them, you can simultaneously learn something new as well — from them or about yourself. It's easy for the teacher to become the student, especially if you're willing to listen to what they have to say. After all, with an open mind, you never have to stop learning.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
You're learning how to take better care of yourself. You might have been seeking ways to help cure the symptoms that you have been experiencing, but now you have a chance to address the roots of these problems and see real results. It can be a significant relief to find the base of such issues and fix it, but that process will take time. Don't give up on yourself! Seize the opportunity whenever possible so that you can build on it in the future.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Don't take yourself too seriously. Someone in your life might be encouraging you to try something new that sounds somewhat foolish at first. Remember, life is short! Once you indulge yourself and acknowledge that it's okay to be a little silly, you could have a whole lot of fun and enjoy bonding experiences that you would have missed out on otherwise. It's a great day to embrace your inner child and play without judging yourself. You're more likely to regret what you don't try!

Boy injured in rare octopus incident at Texas aquarium
An octopus at the San Antonio Aquarium left a six-year-old boy with 'hickeys' covering his arm after the child reached into a touch tank, and the sea animal wouldn't let go. The boy's mom, Britney Taryn, has gone viral in a series of TikToks – two of which have garnered over 3 million views – after sharing how a giant Pacific octopus named Cthulhu latched onto her son Leo's arm during their July 14 visit. She said they visit often and had touched the octopus before without incident. Taryn shared glimpses of Leo's arm, decorated with dark purple solution cup bruises from his wrist to his armpit. "He started saying, 'Mom, it's not letting me go,'" Taryn said in one video, adding that it took three adults to remove the animals from the youngster's arm. The San Antonio Aquarium responded indirectly to the incident by posting two videos shortly after Taryn's posts gained popularity. In a TikTok on July 23, an aquarium employee explained that giant Pacific Octopuses have been known to use their suction cups to move objects up to 700 pounds. 'If you look around, this whole tank is open, okay?' the employee said of Cthulhu's larger-than-recommended 1,000-gallon tank. 'A lot of times you will go to an aquarium and it will be completely enclosed, and it's enclosed because these guys are expert problem solvers, and they're known to escape.' 'We have never had an octopus escape,' she claimed. 'We make them very, very happy. They have a lot of toys, enrichment, and problem-solving activities. We also give them a very mixed diet, a nutritious diet, and they realize that this is a great place.' The video ends with Cthulhu giving the employee some 'tough love' by latching onto her arm. The adult was able to remove the 'very strong' animal by herself, but Taryn was less than impressed by the clip. 'Now, imagine that that is a six-year-old,' she said in response. The aquarium posted another TikTok with Cthulhu and the employee last week, where she shares that octopus bruises aren't harmful and typically fade within seven to 14 days. She said giant Pacific Octopuses have around 200 suction cups per arm. 'She loves people, so she gets so excited sometimes, especially if it's food time, and she's trying to pry open my hand to get the shrimp,' the employee said, holding the crustacean. 'She's so intelligent. She has this giant beak. She could bite me if she really wanted to. I'm not her food source, but this is her food source, and she has a great time trying to get a hold of it. 'So with that, all this suction motion sometimes will create hickeys. We call them octopus kisses, but they're bruises, and it's basically where red blood comes up to the surface of your skin. She's not trying to be harmful in any manner.' The employee concluded, 'Suction marks are actually common and normal for strong, inquisitive animals like her. I promise it's not a cosmic cry for help.' Taryn's videos have sparked debate about the safety of kids interacting with animals like octopuses. While she hasn't called the incident an attack and has since revisited the octopus with Leo, she said they were never warned about potential risks. She's using social media to caution others and advocate for better animal care. Taryn has asked the San Antonio Aquarium to document the incident and explain their safety protocols, but says she hasn't received a response. The Independent has contacted the San Antonio Aquarium for comment. Solve the daily Crossword

Pope thrills hundreds of thousands of young Catholics at Holy Year youth festival
ROME (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of young Catholics poured into a vast field on Rome's outskirts Saturday for the weekend highlight of the Vatican's 2025 Holy Year: an evening vigil, outdoor slumber party and morning Mass celebrated by Pope Leo XIV that marks his first big encounter with the next generation of Catholics. Leo arrived by helicopter as the sun set over the Tor Vergata field and immediately boarded his open-topped popemobile for long loops through the flag-waving, cheering pilgrims. They had already been partying there for hours, setting up campsites for the night as misting trucks and water cannons spritzed them to cool them down from the 30C (85F) temperatures. 'It is something spiritual, that you can experience only every 25 years,' said Francisco Michel, a pilgrim from Mexico. 'As a young person, having the chance to live this meting with the pope I feel it is a spiritual growth.' For the past week, these bands of young Catholics from around the world have poured into Rome for their special Jubilee celebration, in a Holy Year in which 32 million people are expected to descend on the Vatican to participate in a centuries-old pilgrimage to the seat of Catholicism. The young people have been traipsing down cobblestoned streets in color-coordinated T-shirts, praying the Rosary and singing hymns with guitars, bongo drums and tambourines shimmying alongside. Using their flags as tarps to shield them from the sun, they have taken over entire piazzas for Christian rock concerts and inspirational talks, and stood for hours at the Circus Maximus to confess their sins to 1,000 priests offering the sacrament in a dozen different languages. History's first American pope was presiding over the vigil Saturday night. He was then returning to the Vatican for the night and coming back for another popemobile romp and Mass on Sunday morning. A mini World Youth Day, 25 years later It all has the vibe of a World Youth Day, the Catholic Woodstock festival that St. John Paul II inaugurated and made famous in Rome in 2000 at the very same Tor Vergata field. Then, before an estimated 2 million people, John Paul told the young pilgrims they were the 'sentinels of the morning' at the dawn of the third millennium. Officials had initially expected 500,000 youngsters this weekend, but Leo hinted the number might reach 1 million. 'It's a bit messed up, but this is what is nice about the Jubilee,' said Chloe Jobbour, a 19-year-old Lebanese Catholic who was in Rome with a group of more than 200 young members of the Community of the Beatitudes, a France-based charismatic group. She said, for example, that it had taken two hours to get dinner at a KFC overwhelmed by orders Friday night. The Salesian school that offered her group housing is an hour away by bus. But Jobbour, like many in Rome this week, didn't mind the discomfort: It's all part of the experience. 'I don't expect it to be better than that. I expected it this way,' she said, as members of her group gathered on church steps near the Vatican to sing and pray Saturday morning before heading out to Tor Vergata. There was one tragedy before the vigil began. The Vatican confirmed that an Egyptian 18-year-old woman, identified as Pascale Rafic, died during the pilgrimage, reportedly of cardiac arrest. Leo met Saturday with her group and extended his condolences to her family. Romans inconvenienced, but tolerant Those Romans who didn't flee the onslaught have been inconvenienced by the additional strain on the city's notoriously insufficient public transport system. Residents are sharing social media posts of outbursts by Romans at kids flooding subway platforms and crowding bus stops that have delayed and complicated their commutes to work. But other Romans have welcomed the enthusiasm the youngsters have brought. Premier Giorgia Meloni offered a video welcome, marveling at the 'extraordinary festival of faith, joy and hope' that the young people had created. 'I think it's marvelous,' said Rome hairdresser Rina Verdone, who lives near the Tor Vergata field and woke up Saturday to find a gaggle of police outside her home as part of the massive, 4,000-strong operation mounted to keep the peace. 'You think the faith, the religion is in difficulty, but this is proof that it's not so.' Verdone had already made plans to take an alternate route home Saturday afternoon, that would require an extra kilometer (half-mile) walk, because she feared the 'invasion' of kids in her neighborhood would disrupt her usual bus route. But she said she was more than happy to make the sacrifice. 'You think of invasion as something negative. But this is a positive invasion,' she said. ___ AP reporter Paolo Santalucia contributed to this story. ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

Lighting the Future: Why Gobo Projectors Are the Unexpected Stars of Outdoor Branding in 2025
Let's get one thing straight: in a world where everything is plastered on screens—from our wrists to our refrigerators—it's kind of wild that the coolest branding tool in 2025 isn't a screen at all. It's light. Specifically, gobo projectors. Yeah, I know—sounds like some sci-fi gadget Tony Stark would casually build in his garage. But trust me, these projection powerhouses are very real, very stylish, and making waves in everything from outdoor advertising to AI-driven public art. Once the domain of haunted houses and dusty theaters, gobo projectors are having a serious glow-up. They're now lighting up smart cities, festivals, eco-resorts—even the sides of entire skyscrapers. And if you're a brand trying to make an impact without building another flashy LED screen, gobo tech is the unsung hero you didn't know you needed. Let's break down the best of the best—and spoiler alert: the number one pick comes from a rising company that's absolutely crushing it right now, Innaya Store. You ever walk past a building at night and see a glowing logo so crisp it looks Photoshopped onto the wall? That was probably the HD1200. This beast of a projector is turning the game on its head—and it's no wonder people are calling it the top gobo projector of the year. It's got the kind of brightness that makes your brand visible from across the street—or across the parking lot, even if it's raining sideways. With over 4,000 lumens, interchangeable lenses, and IP65 waterproofing (translation: weather-proof beast), the HD1200 is built for serious outdoor domination. Whether you're launching a luxury car or hosting a music festival in the woods, this is the projector that makes people pull out their phones and say, 'Wait— how'd they do that ?' Honestly, if you're trying to be unforgettable, this is your move. And yes, I may have used it at my cousin's wedding. No regrets. Think of this one as your go-to SUV. It's tough, it's dependable, and while it doesn't scream for attention like the HD1200, it'll get the job done without breaking a sweat. Made with die-cast aluminum and built for long-term installs, this one's perfect for parks, festivals, and permanent installations where you just want something to work—rain or shine, night after night. Bonus: the passive cooling system means no noisy fans. Which, if you've ever tried to project next to a yoga retreat or a TED-style talk in a forest, matters . This one is huge . Literally. The GOLUX Plus 1000 can project up to 300 meters—which is basically the size of your average skyscraper or, say, a small moon (okay, I'm exaggerating, but you get the point). Perfect for stadiums, government buildings, or any place where subtlety isn't part of the vibe, this projector is pure spectacle. That said, it's bulky, power-hungry, and best reserved for big-budget operations. Definitely not the one you toss in the backseat for a pop-up market. Now here's one for the tree huggers and the budget watchers. The EcoBright is solar-powered, silent, and perfect for eco-resorts, smart trails, or any brand that wants to go green and glow bright. I've personally seen it used to project wayfinding signs on a national park trail at dusk—no wires, no emissions, just clean, beautiful light. Let's just say this one gets bonus points for being both sustainable and functional. It's basically the Prius of gobo projectors (if the Prius looked this cool). Here's where things get fun. The FX Series adds motion to your visuals—spinning logos, dancing arrows, animated patterns. It's not the brightest in the lineup, but it knows how to make an entrance. I saw this used to project a rotating galaxy onto a tree canopy at a night market, and I swear it made the churros taste better. For close-range activations, immersive pop-ups, and anything experiential, this is a rock-solid choice. Let's face it—people are over static billboards and 2D signage. We want interaction. We want experiences. We want to be wowed. Gobo projectors offer: Low energy use (especially with LED or solar models) (especially with LED or solar models) Easy setup and programming and programming Surprising versatility —walls, sidewalks, trees, tents, you name it —walls, sidewalks, trees, tents, you name it Major Instagram appeal And unlike LED walls, you don't need a permit, a forklift, and a team of five to get started. In an era where digital ads get blocked and attention spans are shorter than a TikTok soundbite, a glowing logo on a sidewalk just works . We're living in a time when the line between digital and physical is practically non-existent. And brands that win are the ones that create moments worth remembering. Whether it's projecting a logo onto a mountainside, lighting up a trail with real-time quotes, or turning a storefront into an interactive art piece, gobo projectors are quietly becoming one of the most powerful outdoor tools of the decade. And leading that charge? You guessed it: Innaya Store. With innovations like the HD1200 and EcoBright 50W, they're not just selling hardware—they're selling possibility. So if you're ready to light up your brand, literally—this is your sign. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
