4 Signs & Omens You're About to Manifest Success, Per Experts
4 Signs & Omens You're About to Manifest Success, Per Experts originally appeared on Parade. According to expert mystics, astrologers, and manifestors, there are clear signs that indicate you are on your way to achieving your goals. Success is a personal journey, as we all have different aims, checklists, and visualizations of what it means to us. No matter what your personal hopes and dreams may be, when these omens appear in your life, it's a signal that blessings are on their way, thanks to your manifestation efforts. Do you resonate with any of these omens? Mystic Michaela, author of 'The Book of Signs: 150 Symbols & Other Spiritual Messages from the Other Side', interviewed with Parade, sharing her expertise. According to the mystic-author, these four omens are a sure sign you're on the right track. READ: Which Stevie Nicks Song Matches You, Based on Zodiac Sign According to Mystic Michaela, "Seeing 1111 is a huge alert from your angel team that you are already on the path to manifesting your goals. Seeing this is a reminder to set an intention, or an inspired thought, and put it out there for the Universe to take with faith that all will come to you in divine timing." Angel numbers are more than a satisfying number sequence: they always tell a spiritual story. "When you see an increase in these types of numbers, know that something very powerful is happening behind the scenes of the everyday physical world we can get lost in. Seeing any repeated number or numbers throughout your day is a message from the Universe that you are being seen and heard by your spiritual team. Numbers are often a go-to for the heavenly energies to communicate with you, as numeric vibrational frequency is easy to manipulate for spiritual messages," the author concludes. OTHER: Born on One of These 4 Dates? You're Wise Beyond Your Years If you keep running into a similar animal over and over, chances are, the universe is trying to grab your attention. "Continuously seeing a hummingbird fly by, receiving a card from a loved one with a hummingbird illustration, and then turning on the television just when a nature documentary about hummingbirds is airing isn't a coincidence," Mystic Michaela explains. "Messages from the Universe often take a symbolic shape in animals, birds, and insects to deliver a strong message. When you are on your path to manifesting your goals, these types of symbols reveal themselves." The author encourages you to keep your mindset consistent and intentions clear, as success is underway. Be sure to do your research on the spiritual meaning of this critter as well - it likely will point out specific clues as to what you're calling in. NEXT: Born on One of These 4 Dates? You're a Smart, Jack of All Trades The universe tends to bring healing, hope, and renewal with this omen. "The appearance of feathers randomly in your path, attached to your clothing, or in strange places is a gentle sign from the Universe. The path to manifesting can be uncertain at times, since when you succeed with manifesting, everything tends to change," the author reminds us. "Oftentimes, feathers appear when you are in need of advice, reassurance, and love during the more turbulent times of this process. Different colored feathers can have various symbolic meanings; black feathers signify protection, while blue feathers remind you to stay grounded. White feathers are often from loved ones or your angels themselves." The path to manifesting success is full of many highs, but it's nice to know the universe has our back during the low points. Release your fears, and watch what will manifest in the space you've cleared. MORE: How to Glow-Up Your Love & Dating Life, Based on Your Zodiac Sign "Manifesting means that your physical environment will have to change to reflect your new mindset. People in your life may leave as you grow apart or find closure in relationships that no longer serve you," the mystic informs us. While outgrowing people may not be fun, it's often a sign that you're ready for further expansion. "A major indicator you are on the path to manifesting your goals is the appearance of new people in your life: friends who reflect your updated mindset, acquaintances who suddenly want to connect you to opportunities you desire, and loving relationships which honor your new outlook on life." "New relationships symbolize the extension of love for you, which exists in the Universe itself as a result of their support with your fulfillment and success. They are an energy indicator that your intentions are coming to fruition." If you're being pushed to curate a new community by the cosmos, don't decline the call! They may just lead you to your success. 4 Signs & Omens You're About to Manifest Success, Per Experts first appeared on Parade on Jun 20, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 20, 2025, where it first appeared.

Moment huge wedge tornado with terrifying black funnel rips path of destruction in deadly electric storms killing three
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the moment a mammoth wedge tornado rips a path of destruction killing three and causing thousands to lose power. The deathly winds tore through parts of North Dakota - devastating homes and swallowing electric cables. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Shocking footages shows the sky illuminated by lightening Credit: Facebook 5 Near Enderlin a tornado thrashed through the sky Credit: Facebook 5 Homes and streets were devastated by the storm Credit: AP Two men and one woman have been confirmed dead by officials in two areas around the town of Enderlin, North Dakota south of Fargo. Shocking footages shows the sky illuminated by lightening as a dense and mushrooming cloud swirls. The large hail and powerful winds are believed to have battered through Northern Minnesota and northern Wisconisn on Friday with communities Spiritwood, Valley City and Fort Ransom largely affected. Some 25,000 residents were left without power as some areas like Sheldon stuck without electricity until Saturday evening. While the brutal storm was confirmed as a tornado crews are still working to determine its strength and wind speeds. Meteorologist Timothy Lynch, said: "Essentially, that produced the winds upward of 114 mph across a portion of eastern North Dakota and even in northwest Minnesota. "I've not seen one since I've been here. I've been here seven years." Although an exact figure has not been determined, a number of homes also suffered extensive damage with reports of blown out roofs and damages buildings. Michaela and Colton Briss live in the path where the tornado travelled north. The couple were forced to hide in their basement as the twister destroyed their home's windows and door frames, reports Inforum. Kentucky tornadoes leave at least 16 dead & many injured in 'mass casualty' event as storms rip through mid-west North Dakota Governor Kelly Armstrong said: "Our hearts and sympathies go out to the family and friends of the three North Dakotans who tragically lost their lives in Friday's tornado, and to the close-knit community in Enderlin, which suffered widespread damage. 'We thank our dedicated first responders and community leaders, including our many volunteer first responders, for their swift action to keep residents safe and help them recover.' This comes just a couple of months after a tornado ripped through Arkansas and rumbled Mirrouri. At least four people were reported dead in neighbouring Tennessee and Missouri as the tornadoes battered the wider region. What is a wedge tornado? A "WEDGE" tornado is the informal name for a particular kind of storm. As the title suggests, these are tornadoes where the storm cuts a distinctive wedge shape against the sky. In a wedge tornado, the centre of the storm is highly-concentrated at a single spot, drawing in clouds from a wide area above. This is what give the storm such a tight triangular shape. The dense epicentre of a wedge tornado means the surrounding winds reach exceptional speeds - sometimes faster than 200mph. And that makes this kind of storm especially deadly. Dramatic footage showed a dense grey wedge blotting out the sky. Whilst huge clouds were seen dragged into the centre, which swirled down to the ground. Bright fiery flashes were captured sparking amongst the dark mass as electricity cables were torn from their masts. Debris could be seen flying around the tornado as it smashed through trees and buildings. The storm was first spotted just east of Jonesboro, before it tore a northeasterly path towards the state line with Missouri. Winds of almost 200mph accompanied the violent vortex, adding to the carnage. Brandon Copic, a storm chaser for Fox Weather, who braved an approach, said at the time: 'It's coming very close to me. There is an audible roar with it right now.' Weather experts estimated it was at least a four on EF scale, with some signs of being even stronger. A category four storm is characterised as a violent with wind speeds between 166 and 200 mph, capable of causing catastrophic damage, levelling well-built structures, and tossing vehicles and large objects. 5 A tornado tore through Arkansas last month Credit: Fox Weather

Fair City star says birth of son has given him 'simpler way of looking at life'
Fair City star Ryan Andrews has told how he took no days off after the birth of his son, Rowen. The star welcomed his first child with wife Michaela on September 16 last year. Opening up about Rowen's arrival, the Dubliner said he had to rehearse 17 scenes during Michaela's labour in Holles Street Hospital in Dublin. He told us: "Rowen was born on September 16. I had to call into RTE. Michaela went a day early. I didn't sleep in three days. I had to go into the busiest week of my life on Fair City. "I had to do double scenes and at that time I used to MC the Late Late Show and we ran our stage school at three locations a week. "We were writing the Olympia panto as well. I didn't have a day off until January 16. "Michaela was in labour in Holles Street and I had 17 scenes to learn. I had the busiest two days. "Between every scene and every break, I was at home. I wasn't neglecting my family but once January came, I just realised how fast Rowen had grown up." He said since welcoming Rowen, he looks at life more simply. "He's nine months old now. Sometimes, with babies, I never listen to anybody, even my mam. Like every child, every pregnancy is different. We found our own way. "We're very lucky with him. Our whole lives have changed. It's all about Rowen now in the best possible way. "Becoming a dad has put a lot of things into perspective. I used to worry about things for no reason. "He makes us more happy than any job, or anything financial. It's a simpler way of looking at life." Ryan joked that he's already starting his son in showbusiness as Rowen was the baby in The Ferryman when he was just four months old. "We've been lucky in the industry… I would love for him to get into stage school, and I'd love him to learn because I don't remember anything from school, other than being on stage or stage school with friends." Barnardos ambassador Ryan was speaking as he took part in a 12-hour Riverdanceathon at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin to help raise money for the children's charity. Over 580 dancers from dance schools across Ireland took part in the Riverdanceathon. Members of the Riverdance cast also joined in to start the event just before 10am on Thursday and again at lunchtime to perform three numbers from the show on the Gaiety Plaza as well as bringing it all to an end that evening. Through this partnership Riverdance hopes to raise funds and awareness for the work of Barnardos. Each year for its summer run at the Gaiety, Riverdance partners with a charity. Barnardos is Ireland's largest children's charity which helps and supports the most vulnerable children and families in society to achieve their full potential with the support of the public.

‘Sirens': A study in class and bad parenting
In Greek mythology, sirens were believed to be enchantresses, who, with their sinister gift of song, lured sailors to their doom. The idea finds a delicious, comic and dark reincarnation in the recent Netflix series, Sirens, starring Julianne Moore in the top billing. Set in the filthy rich environs of New England, the show depicts the changing fortunes of Michaela Kell (Moore), the second wife of the hedge-fund billionaire Peter (Kevin Bacon). Right from the word go, there is a hint of Mrs de Winters (from Daphne du Maurier's 1938 novel Rebecca) about Michaela. The Rebecca angle gets subtly, but surely, played along the course of five tightly written episodes by Molly Smith Metzler, based on Elemeno Pea, her 2011 play. If you haven't watched the series yet, you're probably already thinking of The White Lotus (2021; streaming on JioHotstar) or The Perfect Couple (2024; Netflix), both of which cover similar ground. Which is mostly fair since, despite all its woo-woo-ness, Sirens does have a suffocatingly thick air of suspense about it. The troubled sister dynamics between Devon (Meghann Fahy, The White Lotus) and Simone (Milly Alcock), leading back to a childhood scarred by terrible parenting, not only provides fodder for an engaging psychological thriller but also for a clash of the classes. It all starts with Devon setting off in search of her sister, who has ghosted her for months, and ignored her pleas to help take care of their father Bruce (Bill Camp gives a chillingly real performance), who is suffering from dementia. When Simone sends her an edible arrangement instead of volunteering to do her part, Devon is enraged. Her life is already a wreck. A recovering alcoholic, she is sleeping with her college friend-turned-boss Raymond, who is married with kids. After being locked up by the police multiple times for unruly behaviour, Devon has nothing to lose. So, she arrives on Michaela's island uninvited, only to be horrified by the web into which her little sister has got herself entangled. Roxana Hadidi, in Vulture, accurately described Sirens as 'a series about culty, self-help-y, extremely white women doing culty self-help-y extremely white women things." Michaela, for instance, not only follows a strict regimen of diet and exercise but also ensures that no one under her watch strays from the path of clean eating. There's a hilarious scene where the staff scarf on burgers, hidden away from the CCTV cameras, because carbs are forbidden by Michaela. Yet under the veneer of all the absurdity and tyranny of Michaela's rule, lurks a profoundly disturbing truth—her pathological insecurity and will to do anything to protect her place in Peter's life. During the day, Michaela spends her time rescuing and rehabilitating raptors. At night, she is wide awake wondering if her husband is cheating on her. With Simone's help, she does some serious sleuthing to check if the chocolates brought by him for her are really from his trip to Tokyo, or subbed from an outlet in New York. The answers to this investigation turn out to be at once simple and complicated. Setting aside the laughs and thrills, Sirens offers a scathing indictment of poor parenting. Whether it's Bruce's treatment of Simone as a little girl, or Peter's neglect of his children from his first wife, there are layers here that would give a therapist a field day. One of the more difficult questions that Sirens deals with is caregiving, especially when parents have been cruel and uncaring to their offspring when they were young but, in the winter of their lives, they need to be looked after by those very children. Devon's insistence on Simone doing her bit for the father whose neglect had led her to grow up, abused and humiliated, in foster care is a thorny point of contention. At once triggering and an inescapable reality, it's a question that haunts the viewer well beyond the series. The ending is clever and leaves room for a second season. Given the amount of speculation and theories that the series has inspired on social media—check out the Reddit threads after you've seen it—hopefully there's more trickery by the sirens awaiting us. 'Sirens' is streaming on Netflix. Also read: Is the Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar worth its price tag?
