General Daily Insight for June 30, 2025 The month is wrapping up on a helpful note. The Sun isn’t even halfway through its tour of Cancer, and yet the last week has already brought one pivotal angle our way after another! Today should be a terrific opportunity to catch our collective breath and take stock of our situation. The Moon is in capable, no-nonsense Virgo, so we finally have a chance to make sense of any big moments we’ve dealt with recently. A little careful analysis should... Read More

By Amanda Hernández, Stateline.org After years of pressure over lost or untested sexual assault kits, a growing number of states are adopting systems to track the kits — giving survivors a way to follow their evidence through the justice process. But despite nearly $400 million in federal support since 2015, backlogs persist, and some states still lack basic oversight. And now, advocates fear such financial support is on shaky ground.

Dear Eric: I have a distant relationship with my brother as I am a gay man with a “new thought” religion, both of which he says will send me to Hell. We communicate mostly by email on birthdays and Christmas; we did get along well when we had to settle our father’s estate more than 10 years ago.

General Daily Insight for June 29, 2025 Everything seems more extreme than usual under today’s stars. Mercury in proud Leo is shooting arrows across the sky as it opposes nefarious Pluto in egalitarian Aquarius at 2:10 am EDT, making it only too easy for tempers to flare and sharp words to be exchanged. The Moon will move on to analytical Virgo, reminding us to proofread our knee-jerk responses to ensure they’re actually reasonable. As the Moon embraces fiery Mars, we must think twice... Read More
