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.

Happy Valley star James Norton feels like he has ‘become a man' after break-up
Happy Valley star James Norton has said he feels like he has 'become a man' following the break-up of a six-year relationship. Norton, 39, said he initially found it hard but said he would always be friends with the woman, who he did not name, during a talk, called Daring To Change, on The Information stage at Glastonbury Festival on Thursday. Norton said: 'It's very f****** hard, but it happened in a very abrupt way, and it happened kind of to me, and I thought that I was on a path. 'I was about to have kids, about to get married, all that kind of stuff, and my life just turned around, completely changed direction. 'And I thought I lost the person, but I also lost the life that I was about to lead, and the kids that we named, all that kind of stuff. 'And actually, in the last year and a half, I have gone through the most monumental change as a result, and I feel like I've grown up, I feel like I've become a man. 'I suddenly feel like I've grown up, I found some friends, relationships, the outpouring of love from my family around me was amazing. 'I ended up going to a Buddhist retreat in the south of France called Plum Village, anyone been to Plum Village? If you haven't, you should go. 'It's the best place in the world, and I went because I was in this pit of pain, and now I have this community. 'It's a Zen Buddhist community, it's amazing, and if you haven't gone, really look it up, it really does change your life. 'But so much has been born from that massive, radical change.' Norton, who also played Sidney Chambers in ITV drama Grantchester, has been romantically linked to 36-year-old English actress Imogen Poots and artist Charlotte Rose Smith. During the chat, he added: 'I was very much like the furious optimist, it was hard, I love that person (the unnamed woman) so much, and I will always love her, she's amazing, and we will have a relationship forever I hope, and there's no resentment. 'And actually, in a weird way, I kind of owe her so much, because she was the one who took it upon herself to make that massive decision, and she gave me a gift, she gave me this opportunity to grow up.' The London-born actor starred as Tommy Lee Royce in BBC drama Happy Valley, and has also appeared in Doctor Who, crime drama McMafia and sci-fi drama The Nevers.

Why Career Growth Often Looks Like Standing Still To Others
You don't need a new job to be growing. You need new questions, better boundaries, and more truthful ... More reflection. That's how careers move forward Career growth is usually imagined as a visible ascent. A new title. A bigger office. More direct reports. But often, the most significant development happens out of view. You become more measured in meetings. More selective about the battles you fight. More comfortable saying 'I don't know.' You stop chasing visibility and start chasing value. Yet when that happens, the world may not notice. At least not right away. To others, it might seem like you are coasting. Like your ambition has flattened. Or worse, like you are stuck. What they don't see is the rewiring underway beneath the surface. The shift from performing to mastering. From collecting experiences to integrating them. From showing potential to realizing it. This tension can be uncomfortable. Especially if you've spent years proving yourself through constant motion. Slowing down—even intentionally—feels risky. But much of career development operates like adult learning theory suggests. The shift from surface learning to reflective depth often looks, from the outside, like less activity. In fact, it is evidence of growth. Understanding that difference is key. Not just for your own peace of mind, but for the way you support others who may be evolving in quiet ways too. When You Plateau Publicly but Rise Internally You used to speak up in every meeting. Now you speak when it counts. You used to say yes to everything. Now you know which opportunities are misaligned. You once sought exposure. Now you seek influence. These are signs of maturity. But to a casual observer, they may look like a loss of edge. Or worse, complacency. This is the paradox of growth. As you develop sharper judgment, you often become less visible. Less reactive. Less insistent on being the loudest voice in the room. But that restraint is a form of power. And over time, it compounds into authority. You can reinforce that growth without self-promotion. For example, when you decline a project, explain why. You might say, 'This isn't aligned with where I'm focusing this quarter, but I'd be glad to recommend someone else.' That response demonstrates clarity, not disengagement. If a manager misreads your quieter phase as stagnation, consider reframing. You could say, 'I've been investing more time into depth than breadth recently. Fewer projects, but more meaningful ones.' That one line shifts the narrative from pause to purpose. And if you worry that others are passing you by because they appear busier, remember that activity is not always leverage. Growth that lasts tends to look deliberate, not frantic. Why Clarity Can Look Like Indifference There comes a point in most careers where you no longer need to prove you can work hard. The question becomes whether you are working smart. This shift often leads you to simplify your calendar, limit your commitments, and protect your energy. But minimalism can be misread. When you stop volunteering for every committee or reduce your output to sharpen your focus, others may assume you are pulling back. The truth is you may finally be learning to prioritize. This is where self-determination theory becomes relevant: it suggests that true motivation thrives on autonomy, competence, and relatedness. The more you gain control over your time and attention, the more your performance reflects internal clarity, not external pressure. To make that visible without over-explaining, link your current choices to strategic goals. For instance, you might say, 'I'm focusing my efforts this quarter on two priorities that tie directly to our team's long-term plan.' That statement signals alignment, not withdrawal. You can also invite others into your thinking. Share frameworks you use to evaluate opportunities. Offer insight into how you are measuring progress. Over time, this kind of transparency helps others understand that your quieter mode is not a retreat. It is a recalibration. Not Every Chapter Needs an Announcement We live in a culture of updates. New roles. Certifications. Project launches. The pressure to be visibly advancing is strong. But real growth does not always follow that rhythm. Sometimes your development looks like managing your team more effectively, even if your title stays the same. Sometimes it looks like handling a conflict with emotional maturity you didn't have three years ago. Sometimes it is invisible to everyone but you. That kind of growth doesn't show up on LinkedIn. And that is fine. You could keep a private log of professional wins no one claps for. A time you navigated pushback without defensiveness. A moment you created space for a quieter colleague. An instance where you spoke less and listened better. These moments are not trivial. They are the foundation of leadership. If you mentor others, normalize this too. When someone says, 'I feel like I'm not going anywhere,' ask what skills they've deepened in the past six months. Help them name the ways they've matured, even if the org chart hasn't shifted. Progress isn't always upward. Sometimes it's downward into clarity. Or lateral into complexity. Or still, for a season, to recover perspective. You don't need a new job to be growing. You need new questions, better boundaries, and more truthful reflection. That's how careers move forward, even when they appear still.
