Jugador de la NBA Luke Kornet pide a Hawks cancelar promoción con club Magic City
Por The Associated Press
Luke Kornet instó a los Hawks de Atlanta a cancelar su próxima colaboración con Magic City, al afirmar que él y otros jugadores de la NBA se sorprendieron por la decisión del equipo de promocionar el club de entretenimiento para adultos.
El pívot de los Spurs de San Antonio escribió el lunes que permitir el evento del 16 de marzo durante el partido de los Hawks contra el Magic de Orlando “hablaría mal de nosotros como comunidad de la NBA, específicamente por ser cómplices de la posible cosificación y el maltrato de las mujeres en nuestra sociedad”.
“Independientemente de cómo una mujer llegue a la industria del entretenimiento para adultos, muchas en este ámbito sufren abuso, acoso y violencia a los que nunca deberían estar expuestas”, añadió Kornet en una publicación de blog.
Los Hawks anunciaron la promoción la semana pasada y señalaron que incluiría una actuación en vivo de T.I., oriundo de Atlanta, además de dos versiones de las famosas alitas de pollo de Magic City y una sudadera con capucha especial disponibles para su compra.
Pero Kornet observó que el comunicado de prensa “no reconoció que este lugar es, como el propio negocio se jacta, ‘el principal club de striptease de Atlanta’”. Por lo tanto, pidió a los Hawks que cancelen la promoción.
“Deseamos ofrecer un entorno en el que aficionados de todas las edades puedan venir con seguridad y disfrutar del baloncesto, y en el que podamos celebrar la historia y la cultura de las comunidades con la conciencia tranquila”, escribió Kornet. “La celebración de un club de striptease no es una conducta alineada con esa visión”.

NBA player Luke Kornet calls on Atlanta Hawks to cancel promotion with Magic City adult entertainment club
Luke Kornet called on the Atlanta Hawks to cancel their upcoming collaboration with Magic City, saying he and other NBA players were surprised by the team’s decision to promote the adult entertainment club.
The San Antonio Spurs center wrote Monday that allowing the March 16 event during the Hawks’ game against the Orlando Magic “would reflect poorly on us as an NBA community, specifically in being complicit in the potential objectification and mistreatment of women in our society.”
“Regardless of how a woman finds her way into the adult entertainment industry, many in this space experience abuse, harassment, and violence to which they should never be subjected,” Kornet added in a blog post.
The Hawks announced the promotion last week, saying it would include a live performance by Atlanta native T.I., and have two versions of Magic City’s famed chicken wings and a special hoodie available for purchase.
But Kornet noted that the press release “failed to acknowledge that this place is, as the business itself boasts, ‘Atlanta’s premier strip club.’” Therefore, he asked the Hawks to cancel the promotion.
“We desire to provide an environment where fans of all ages can safely come and enjoy the game of basketball and where we can celebrate the history and culture of communities in good conscience,” Kornet wrote. “The celebration of a strip club is not conduct aligned with that vision.”

Illinois AG Kwame Raoul charges Aurora man with gunrunning, using and possessing firearms illegally
An Aurora man has been charged by Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul with gunrunning and a number of other firearm-related charges, the Attorney General’s Office said on Monday.
Daniel Curry, 42, has been charged with 72 counts related to gunrunning, illegally possessing silencers and machine-gun conversion devices and unlawful possession of unserialized firearms and receivers, according to a news release from the Illinois Attorney General’s Office.
Per the news release, the charges include two counts of gunrunning, 16 counts of unlawful sale or delivery of a firearm, 11 counts of unlawful sale of an unserialized firearm or receiver, one count of unlawful sale of an unserialized frame, one count of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, six counts of unlawful use of a weapon, 12 counts of unlawful use of a weapon silencer, 11 counts of possession of an unserialized firearm, 10 counts of possession of an unserialized receiver and two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.
Raoul’s office is alleging that, between September 2025 and January 2026, Curry took part in the illegal sale of eight firearms in DuPage and Kane counties, the news release said. He was arrested after a search warrant executed on Feb. 3 in Aurora resulted in the uncovering of evidence that he used a 3-D printing device to make machine-gun conversion devices, which turn semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic machine guns, according to the release.
Curry was found to be in possession of six machine-gun conversion devices, silencers and unserialized firearms and receivers, the Attorney General’s Office said. He was also found to be in possession of 50 grams of psilocybin mushrooms and over 200 grams of a substance containing the controlled substance dimethyltryptamine, the release said.
The case was referred to Raoul’s office by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or ATF, following an investigation by the ATF, the Aurora Police Department and the Naperville Police Department, per the news release.
Raoul’s Statewide Grand Jury Bureau is authorized by state statute to prosecute multi-county cases involving drugs, money laundering, guns or electronics, the release said. The Attorney General’s Office is co-prosecuting this case with DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin’s office.
Watch: Israel Neutralizes Hezbollah Missiles With Game-Changing “Iron Beam”
Watch: Israel Neutralizes Hezbollah Missiles With Game-Changing “Iron Beam”
Hezbollah opened a new front in the broadening U.S.-Israeli war with Iran overnight, launching a barrage of missiles and kamikaze drone swarms at an Israeli military base in northern Israel.
Footage of one of those missile launches posted on X by the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (IPBC) shows what appears to be some of those Hezbollah missiles prematurely exploding moments after launch.
IPBC explained that the apparent misfires were due to the “Interception of the Rocket from Lebanon Carried Out Using the “Iron Beam” Laser System.”
⚡HISTORIC: For the first time ever, Israel used the Iron Beam to intercept rockets fired by Hezbollah. pic.twitter.com/DU63REU22k
— Israel War Room (@IsraelWarRoom) March 2, 2026
We reported last fall that Israel Defense Forces rolled out its new high-powered laser defense system, known as the “Iron Beam.”
The laser-based air defense system was developed by Rafael and built to complement the Iron Dome missile defense shield. Instead of launching expensive interceptor missiles, it uses a high-energy laser to destroy short-range threats such as rockets, mortar rounds, and drones.
The footage likely shows the 100 kW-class Iron Beam in action, able to neutralize incoming projectiles for only a few dollars per shot, versus roughly $100,000 for a traditional interceptor rocket.
11 Patriots cost $44M.
They downed a $250K Iranian missile.
The math is brutal.

One of the major problems for U.S. and Israeli forces is that the cost per counter-missile and drone is extraordinarily expensive and uneconomical if the war dragged on for a prolonged period of time.

But there is a big caveat, per the Times of Israel: “The main downside of a laser system is that it does not function well in low visibility, including heavy cloud cover or other inclement weather.”

Hoosiers siguen haciendo historia con récord de nueve jugadores en el Scouting Combine de la NFL
Por MICHAEL MAROT
INDIANÁPOLIS (AP) — Los Hoosiers de Indiana, campeones nacionales, simplemente siguen haciendo historia.
Los integrantes de los Hoosiers se sintieron como en casa en el evento anual de evaluación de talentos de la NFL menos de dos meses después de ganar su primer campeonato nacional y convertirse en el primer equipo importante de fútbol americano universitario en terminar 16-0 desde la década de 1890.
Fernando Mendoza, ganador del Trofeo Heisman y probable selección número 1 global del Draft de la NFL en abril, encabezó una delegación récord para la escuela de nueve jugadores que viajó una hora al norte del campus, un grupo mucho más grande de lo que normalmente se dirige a Indy.
“Es increíble, porque hace un par de años, no creo que tuviéramos a nadie que viniera aquí”, comentó el safety Louis Moore, quien comenzó su carrera con los Hoosiers y regresó el otoño pasado tras pasar la temporada 2024 en Ole Miss. “Así que el hecho de que tengamos a nueve aquí es algo especial”.
Hace dos años, el linebacker Aaron Casey fue el único representante de Indiana. El año pasado, fueron solamente el quarterback Kurtis Rourke y el liniero defensivo CJ West. Y aunque los Hoosiers todavía quedaron por detrás de Ohio State (15), Texas y Georgia (14), Oregon (12), Ole Miss y South Carolina (11) y el subcampeón nacional Miami (10), está claro que los Hoosiers son un programa en ascenso, con otra sólida clase de transferencias entrantes y con el liniero ofensivo del año de la Big Ten 2025, Carter Smith, de regreso en la escuela.
En abril, podrían romper otro récord de la escuela: el de jugadores seleccionados en un draft. Indiana tuvo siete elegidos en 1976 y seis en 1944. Y el receptor Elijah Sarratt considera que la temporada de Indiana los ha preparado bien para lo que viene.
“Esa fue la primera vez que jugué (16) partidos en la temporada, así que, en cierto modo, jugué una temporada de la NFL”, explicó. “Pero al enfrentarte a esas potencias con las que te cruzas en los playoffs, empezando con Ohio State en el campeonato de la Big Ten y luego pasando por Alabama, Oregon, hasta Miami. Cada fin de semana en la NFL, juegas contra un gran equipo, un equipo que quiere ganar”.
Un mensaje que inspira
Hay pocas dudas de que KC Concepcion, de Texas A&M, es uno de los receptores con más talento del draft.
Pero también quiere servir de ejemplo para otras personas con impedimentos del habla. Concepcion usó el lunes su cuenta en redes sociales para referirse a sus entrevistas esta semana en Indianápolis, al explicar que ha tartamudeado desde que recuerda hablar.
“Esto es parte de mí. Esto es quien soy. No puedo controlar esto”, escribió en parte. “Quiero ser un modelo a seguir para quienes quizá tengan miedo de alzar la voz, quienes quizá tengan miedo y no confíen en sí mismos. Estoy con ustedes. Este fin de semana me ha enseñado mucho sobre mí y sobre la gente aquí afuera en el mundo. Aprecio a todos los que me apoyan y a quienes se han comunicado conmigo después de estas entrevistas”.
En ascenso
Eli Stowers. El quarterback convertido en ala cerrada exhibió plenamente su atletismo en Indy con un salto vertical de 45 1/2 pulgadas que no solo fue el mejor del fin de semana, sino el mejor en la tabla oficial histórica de la NFL. También igualó al receptor abierto Ted Hurst con el mejor salto de longitud de la semana, 11 pies, 3 pulgadas.
Los hermanos Styles. Sonny, el linebacker, no estuvo muy lejos de Stowers con un salto vertical de 43 1/2 pulgadas, un salto de longitud de 11 pies, 2 pulgadas y un tiempo de 4,46 segundos en las 40 yardas, después de registrar 6-5 de estatura y 244 libras. Lorenzo Jr., el safety, marcó 4,27 segundos en las 40 yardas, el mejor en su posición y el segundo mejor de toda la semana.
Mike Washington Jr. Aunque las exestrellas de Notre Dame Jeremiyah Love y Jadarian Price no hicieron nada que perjudicara la probabilidad de que sean los dos primeros corredores seleccionados en abril, Washington presentó sus argumentos para ser el tercero con el mejor tiempo en las 40 yardas entre los corredores: 4,33 segundos.
D’Angelo Ponds. El mejor cornerback en cobertura del campeón nacional Indiana se ha acostumbrado a escuchar a los escépticos cuestionar su tamaño: 1,75 metros, 82,55 kilos. Pero su velocidad y explosividad le han permitido ganar duelos contra algunos de los mejores receptores del país. Les mostró a los cazatalentos por qué es tan bueno con un salto vertical de 43 1/2 pulgadas en el combine. Correrá las 40 yardas en su Pro Day el 1 de abril.
En descenso
Nick Singleton. Es inusual que un invitado al combine llegue con un scooter para la rodilla y una bota ortopédica, pero ese fue el caso del ex corredor de Penn State tras fracturarse un hueso del pie derecho durante la semana del Senior Bowl. No está claro si estará lo suficientemente sano como para participar en el Pro Day de Penn State, aunque Singleton aún espera programar un entrenamiento completo antes del draft.
Carnell Tate. Se espera que la exestrella de Ohio State sea uno de los primeros receptores elegidos el 23 de abril. Pero los cazatalentos ciertamente no esperaban que registrara un tiempo oficial de 4,53 segundos en las 40 yardas. Si bien hubo reportes de que algunos equipos cronometraron a Tate en el rango de 4,45 a 4,47 segundos, al menos Tate tendrá una segunda oportunidad de causar una primera impresión.
Lee Hunter. El enorme tackle defensivo de Texas Tech llegó a la semana del combine proyectado como una de las principales selecciones en su posición. Su sesión de pruebas dejó algunas dudas. Tras registrar el segundo peor tiempo en las 40 yardas entre todos los linieros defensivos (5,18 segundos), tuvo el salto vertical más bajo (21 1/2 pulgadas) y empató con el peor salto de longitud (8 pies, 4 pulgadas) entre los linieros defensivos.
Diego Pavia. Nadie puede cuestionar la productividad ni la dureza de finalista para el Trofeo Heisman. La mayor preocupación para el ex quarterback de Vanderbilt, de 24 años, es el tamaño. Registró 1,77 metros de estatura y 93,98 kilogramos, una complexión que podría hacer que los equipos lo piensen dos veces antes de seleccionarlo.

Opposition Leader Maria Corina Machado Says She Will Return To Venezuela In Coming Weeks
Opposition Leader Maria Corina Machado Says She Will Return To Venezuela In Coming Weeks
Authored by Victoria Friedman via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado said on March 1 that she will return to her country in the coming weeks.
Machado, 58, did not set a date for her return, but she said in a video posted to X that one of the objectives is to prepare for “a new and resounding electoral victory.”
“I will return to Venezuela in a few weeks. I want to do so, as do hundreds and thousands of Venezuelan exiles around the world,” she said. “We will arrive to embrace one another, to work together to guarantee an orderly and sustainable transition to democracy.”
Then-Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Adela Flores de Maduro, were captured in a U.S. military operation on Jan. 3 and taken to the United States, where the pair face drug trafficking-related charges. Both have denied the charges.
Delcy Rodríguez, who has been the interim leader of Venezuela since, said that Machado, who is under investigation in her home country, should have to “answer to Venezuela” for her support of U.S. military action against Caracas.
Shortly after Maduro’s capture, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Venezuela must go through phases of stabilization, economic recovery, and then, finally, a transition of power.
Rubio has not indicated that elections could be held in the short term.
Nobel Prize Winner
In her video, Machado praised U.S. President Donald Trump for his “vision and courage,” having “brought Nicolás Maduro before international justice—international justice that, finally, on Jan. 3, served the people and not the tyrants, serving the sovereignty expressed through the vote.”
“We want to thank the people of the United States, their government, their members of Congress, their judges, and their military men and women who risked their lives for the freedom of Venezuela and for the national security of their country and the security of all the Americas,” she said.
On Oct. 10, 2025, Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her work fighting for democracy in Venezuela. She left Venezuela in December 2025 for Oslo, Norway, to receive the award and is currently in the United States.
She later gave her medal to Trump when she met with the U.S. president at the White House on Jan. 15.
Machado was an opposition presidential candidate but was disqualified from running against Maduro in the 2024 election. He was replaced by Edmundo González.
After Maduro claimed victory, protests erupted, which triggered widespread repression by the state. The opposition claimed that it had evidence that González was the rightful winner. González was deemed the victor by the United States.
Maduro and his wife are being held in U.S. custody. In their first court appearance in New York City on Jan. 5, they were charged with narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess those items.
Maduro, 63, and Flores, 69, pleaded not guilty.

Trae Young se alista para su debut con los Wizards el jueves, con minutos limitados
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trae Young parece estar listo para hacer su primera aparición con los Wizards de Washington el jueves.
Young publicó en Instagram una foto suya entrenando con indumentaria de los Wizards y le añadió la fecha “3/5”. Los Wizards tienen previsto recibir a Utah esa noche.
Consultado más tarde el lunes sobre el plan antes de que Washington recibiera a Houston, el entrenador Brian Keefe indicó que el base se encaminaba a estar listo para jugar contra el Jazz. Señaló que probablemente Young estaría limitado a unos 17 a 20 minutos, en su mayoría en la primera mitad.
Young disputó 10 partidos con los Hawks de Atlanta esta temporada, con promedios de 19,3 puntos y 8,9 asistencias, antes de quedar fuera por lesiones en la rodilla y el cuádriceps. Los Wizards lo adquirieron a cambio de CJ McCollum y Corey Kispert en enero.

California Strikes Out: Major League Pitcher Turns Down Padres $40 Million Offer Due To State Taxes
California Strikes Out: Major League Pitcher Turns Down Padres $40 Million Offer Due To State Taxes
This week, “there is no joy in Mudville” – the mighty Padres have struck out.
The California Padres thought that they had secured Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly with an offer of $40 million for just two years.
The Diamondbacks were offering that payout over three years, but Kelly took the Diamondbacks.
The reason?
California’s ruinous tax burden is fueling an exodus of wealthy taxpayers and businesses from the state.
It is the latest example of how Democrats have reversed the Gold Rush with a long line of U-Hauls heading to more responsible states.
Explaining his decision, the pitcher told the media that “I don’t think it’s any secret on how much money you get taken out of your pocket when you go to California.”
With the calls for billionaire taxes and attacks on the wealthy as “not paying their fair share,” Democrats and unions have doubled down on their “eat the rich” rhetoric. The problem is that wealth, like the wealthy, is mobile. Both are leaving, and the current estimate stands at a possible $2 trillion fleeing the state over the last year. California continues to lead the nation in the loss of citizens to other states.
In the meantime, Democrats are continuing their high-spending pattern under Gov. Gavin Newsom from boondoggle projects to reparations to bloated union pension agreements.
With California’s 13% tax rate on income above $1 million, players view California as illusory in terms of elite contracts. What the team giveth, the state taketh away. That does not include the higher collateral taxes and costs, including gasoline costs (which are also the highest in the nation).
It appears that the high-spending, high-taxing policies are not just benefiting red states but also their baseball teams. As a Cubs fan, I would be delighted except for the fact that Chicago and Illinois are also in the hands of Democrats pursuing the same disastrous policies.
The irony is that Texas and Florida could end up not only with more jobs but better baseball players.

Exjefes FARC aceptan reclutamiento de 18.600 menores y la ocurrencia de violencia sexual
Por ASTRID SUÁREZ
BOGOTÁ (AP) — La última cúpula de la antigua guerrilla de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia reconoció ante el Tribunal de Paz su reponsabilidad por el reclutamiento forzado de 18.600 menores de edad, aceptando también la ocurrencia de hechos de violencia sexual contra las víctimas, informó el lunes el tribunal.
“El reclutamiento de niños, niñas y adolescentes nunca debió ocurrir: el dolor, los homicidios, las interrupciones de los embarazos, los hechos de violencia de género y reproductiva generaron grandes daños físicos y psicológicos que aún persisten”, reconoció Rodrigo Londoño, el último comandante de las FARC conocido como “Timochenko” en un video divulgado por el tribunal el lunes.
La antigua guerrilla había reconocido en 2025 su responsabilidad, pero con reparos, cuestionando la metodología utilizada por la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP), tribunal que investiga y juzga los crímenes del conflicto tras la firma de la paz con las FARC hace una década.
En esta ocasión, los exjefes aclararon que se trata de un reconocimiento de responsabilidad “pleno” que deja sin efecto las afirmaciones del año pasado.
“Víctoria”, celebró Rosa Blanca, una organización civil que agrupa a mujeres víctimas de reclutamiento infantil y abusos sexuales cometidos por la extinta guerrilla.
“Después de 7 años de lucha en la JEP, hoy le toca a Timochenko tragarse sus palabras y reconocer que nuestras denuncias son ciertas, que cometieron graves delitos contra niños y niñas campesinos, indígenas y negros”, indicó Rosa Blanca en la red social X.
La JEP imputó a los exjefes en el 2024 por el reclutamiento forzoso de niños y otros crímenes cometidos en su contra como homicidios, tortura y violencia sexual. Para el tribunal, las extintas FARC reclutaron 18.677 niños entre 1971 y 2016 en todo el país.
Ante el tribunal acuden 2.000 víctimas que fueron reclutadas por la guerrilla siendo niños y niñas y ahora son adultas. El tribunal recordó en un comunicado que las víctimas “siguen haciendo duelo a sus infancias” y afrontando “profundos daños emocionales, psicológicos y físicos”.
Además, buscan a 485 niños y niñas reclutados por las antiguas FARC que están desaparecidas y cuyas familias aún las buscan.
Los exjefes fueron imputados como responsables por sus “acciones y omisiones” en el reclutamiento forzado durante su vida como guerrilleros y especialmente cuando ostentaron los máximos cargos de mando dentro de las FARC, participando en las conferencias guerrilleras en las que se solían definir las estrategias y políticas de los insurgentes.
El tribunal indicó que continuarán con los procesos investigativos en el caso de reclutamiento de menores por parte de la antigua guerrilla. De concluir que aportaron suficiente verdad, podrá imponer sanciones que no implican cárcel, sino la participación en proyectos que buscan reparar el daño causado a las víctimas.
La antigua cúpula de las FARC recibió el año pasado la primera sentencia sin cárcel en su contra por más de 21.000 secuestros.
Daily Horoscope for March 03, 2026
General Daily Insight for March 03, 2026
Gentle waves move us toward needed changes. A Lunar Eclipse, also a Full Moon, in Virgo peaks at 6:37 am EST, nudging us to release habits and refine the systems we rely on. We can sort what stays, let go of what drains, and make promises we intend to keep with care, no matter how small. Later, as the emotional Moon opposes cerebral Mercury, feelings and words pull in different directions, so listening becomes the bridge. When we speak our minds, we can enact positive change.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Small shifts carry big momentum forward. The Lunar Eclipse, also a Full Moon, highlights your 6th House of Daily Routine. Do your best to get some tidying up done — your future self will thank you. If you’re not at home, you could also streamline tasks at work or while running errands. Give yourself space to focus. Let practicality be your guiding light under this lunation. If a co-worker needs clarity, offer it with patient calm. Everyday effort shapes big results over time.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
This morning invites playful focus and steady joy. Your 5th House of Inspiration is haloed by this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. Luna is encouraging you to share what you make and enjoy the process. You might dust off a half-finished project and devote an hour to updating it. Even if you don’t finish it, letting your soul run free with something like that is a great way to sate your creative impulses. You could also enjoy getting together with pals for a group crafting session!
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Your home is under cosmic attention, but you’re in charge of how that shakes out. Today’s Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse, which supports your domestic life through honest conversations and small changes. You may talk through chores with a roommate or reorganize the responsibilities that come with living alone. Don’t jump to conclusions — not about yourself nor anyone else. Take your time thinking through any home-based issues and potential solutions before assigning blame or trying to fix specific symptoms of the problem.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
You’re in charge of what you say and how you say it, but right now, the universe is offering you extra eloquence. All sorts of messages, formal or casual, are more meaningful during the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in your conversation zone. If you encounter any misunderstandings, prioritize listening and understanding above the speed of your response. Taking a quick break between tasks can help your thoughts settle and allow you to give more informed answers. Don’t forget to ask for additional information when necessary!
Leo
July 23 – August 22
When emotions crest, your values set the tone. Your 2nd House of Logistics is lit up by the Full Moon — which is also a Lunar Eclipse. This is a great phase to redefine your financial priorities. Name your priorities, analyze what has (or hasn’t!) worked thus far, then design your budget accordingly. Be sure to keep long-term monetary goals in mind. For now, you’d be better off giving others your time or effort rather than cash. Open your heart before you open your wallet.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Who’s that, Virgo? It’s you! This Lunar Eclipse (by nature, also a Full Moon) strikes your sign directly, upping your self-awareness by way of showing you a new perspective on yourself. It’s time to release any outdated labels — no matter how long you’ve identified with them, you’re allowed to grow and change. You don’t have to sort yourself into a box unless you really want to. You also don’t have to listen to outsiders who critique your growth without understanding it!
Libra
September 23 – October 22
You’re metaphorically wearing a pair of cosmic-noise-canceling headphones today. That’s thanks to the Full Moon (simultaneously a Lunar Eclipse) occurring in your 12th House of Reflection. Leave yourself plenty of time for naps, and if anyone objects, tell them you’re meditating on dreams. That’s not even a lie, as the 12th house’s spiritual influence is empowering your soul throughout the day, even when you ARE asleep. Meanwhile, if you’re feeling productive, focus on quiet, contemplative tasks. Real rest restores your balance and brightens future choices.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Trust grows when it’s nurtured, and today is a great day to do some nurturing! A Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon energizes your 11th House of Support Networks, which could alter the way people show up for group efforts. When you need something, remember the idiom, “The squeaky wheel gets the grease.” People probably won’t give you things if you don’t ask for them. This works both ways — if someone didn’t direct you to do something, they shouldn’t be upset that you didn’t do it.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
When goals call your name, patience becomes your ally. Today’s Full Moon, also a Lunar Eclipse, elevates your 10th House of Prestige, shining a clear light on your public path. You may update your résumé and get much faster responses to job applications. If you’re happy in your current career, take today to ponder that. What makes this situation work so well, and how can you keep it going? In all areas of life, optimism lights the spark, while discipline keeps the fire burning.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Perspective shifts may reshape your upcoming plans. The universe is urging you to look ahead as this Full Moon (and Lunar Eclipse) activates your 9th House of Exploration, urging you to widen horizons through study that changes how you see choices. You might research a certification and mark the enrollment date on your calendar. Your practical patience turns big ideas into structured, doable steps. If doubts appear, refer back to your long-term goals. You can always change your plans later as necessary.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Trust deep bonds to clarify shared responsibilities. Your 8th House of Intimacy is energized by this Lunar Eclipse, also a Full Moon. This potentially brings an important conversation about how you share money and information. You may review a joint account with someone to strengthen transparency together. Taking an inventive approach can solve a sticky problem, while empathy keeps talks human and fair. Be wary of turbulent emotions — you’re allowed to feel them, but they shouldn’t negatively impact your life plans.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Certain connections may have become misaligned recently. Today’s Full Moon, also a Lunar Eclipse, emphasizes your 7th House of Partnership, inviting clear agreements across your important connections so cooperation feels balanced. Whatever your status, seek fairness that respects both voices and leaves room for change. You may propose a weekly check-in and write down your discussions, then actually put them into action going forward. Compassion can flow freely, while boundaries keep that kindness sustainable. Name needs clearly, and listen with generous curiosity.
