For Leo, it is recommended to channel your warrior energy through physical activity, movement, and self-care, as your strength grows and your light becomes unstoppable.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

A period of awaiting a divine moment lies ahead, after which unexpected blessings may arrive. Forces are acting subtly, and you will soon be promoted before those who previously underestimated your worth. It is advisable to focus on finances, using prayer or setting intentions, as a sudden career opportunity approaches. In love, it is advised to slow down to listen carefully and respect your partner's opinion. It is also recommended to direct your warrior energy into your body through exercise, movement, and self-help, as your strength increases and your light is unstoppable.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Even on the most difficult days, support is near. A business idea that keeps you awake at night has appeared in your heart for a specific reason. Financially, you should trust your talents and gifts, as they are the key to greater abundance. A new opportunity, source of income, or breakthrough may appear completely unexpectedly. In relationships, it is important to abandon the need to control the situation and allow the partnership to develop through gentle compromises, not just comfort. You need to take care of yourself by booking a massage or cosmetic procedure to give your body deserved care.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

It is necessary to be so rooted in God's plan that even disappointment feels like divine protection. A financial breakthrough may occur due to an unforeseen conversation, so remain vigilant and trust the signs. The ancestors' advice states: stop selling your talents at a low price and recognize your true worth. In love, it is important to consistently speak the truth, allowing words and actions to strengthen trust in the relationship. Creative self-expression acts as spiritual medicine; you should write, draw, sing, or create, as healing and abundance flow through creativity.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Not everyone should have access to your energy. Some people enter your life with negative intentions that contradict your highest good, so you should pray, remain perceptive, and protect your blessing. If you have been looking for a job, your prayers and fasting are about to bear fruit. In business, new projects and clients appear as unexpected gifts. Finances will improve if you maintain faithfulness and focus. In romantic relationships, instead of withdrawing into silence when offended, you need to share your feelings. You should cleanse your home and yourself, which will lead to improved health and vitality.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Spiritual trials often arise on the path to a higher level of growth and success. If you felt tested, trust that a breakthrough is near. Entrepreneurship is a divine calling, and the ancestors confirm this loudly. You need to start a business, launch a brand, and open doors with confidence. Angels work behind the scenes to improve your financial situation. In love, you should let your partner shine, and then the bond will deepen. Take care of yourself with rest, vitamins, and self-help, as external brilliance reflects inner light.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

God cares about everything in secret, so it is time to make room for what you have prayed for. A promotion, advancement, or unexpected financial blessing may be directed toward you. God rewards faithfulness, and your hard work has not gone unnoticed. You should pray over every bill, debt, and financial goal, trusting that provision is on its way. In love, it is better to offer mercy instead of criticism and allow the relationship to feel safe. It is recommended to study holistic methods such as yoga, meditation, and energy healing.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

You can heal while maintaining hope. You can be exhausted while being chosen. You can fight while being loved by God. Transformation is occurring in your career, and what seems like an end is actually a clearing of space for abundance. God is breaking generational financial cycles in your lineage and opening new paths to prosperity. In love, you should choose honest conversation over easy peace, as true harmony is built on truth, not on avoiding problems. It is important to restore balance between rest and activity so that the body can find the harmony that the spirit seeks.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

God places your name in rooms you never dreamed of. Your prayers have been heard. You must trust God's plan. A divine orchestration is underway for a career turn that might surprise even you. Financially, new opportunities, unexpected support, or a breakthrough restoring confidence are expected. You should not be afraid to walk away from what no longer serves your purpose. In love, you need to loosen your grip on control and allow vulnerability to become a bridge to deeper intimacy. You should cleanse your space and spirit, letting go of everything that no longer aligns with your highest good.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Hard times do not last long. God guarantees that everything will turn out for your benefit, so you must maintain faith. Multiple sources of income are part of the divine plan. God reveals creative ways to acquire wealth that you might not have considered. Financial chances grow when you trust your gifts and act guided by inspiration. In love, it is important to stay in the present moment, even when freedom calls, because the real adventure lies in shared growth. Movement and self-care serve as medicine; you should schedule a doctor's visit.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Do not overthink. God's plans surpass your fears. You need to trust the timing, act confidently, and know that everything is in God's hands. The business created in silence will soon become very noticeable. God sends visibility, recognition, and financial reward simultaneously. A financial breakthrough is achieved through persistence and faith in your calling. In love, it is sometimes necessary to lower your guard, as love develops through softness just as much as through constant effort. Rest is not laziness, but a sacred state necessary for the soul's renewal.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

The enemy thought betrayal, delays, confusion, and emotional exhaustion would break you, but God is preparing your return. What was meant to weaken you is becoming part of your testimony. Someone in a position of influence will soon notice your talent, which will powerfully change your financial trajectory. God has been working on this unnoticed. In love, you need to express yourself emotionally, not just logically, and allow your partner to feel chosen, not just understood. Prayer should serve as an anchor, and peace and inner strength should be the focus.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Close your eyes and imagine God sitting beside you, reminding you that your prayers have been heard. You have been underestimated, excluded from calculations, and your calling has been questioned, but God is preparing to place your name in rooms they will never enter. Your creativity is the greatest financial blessing. The gift you give freely is worth far more than you realize. It is time to monetize your calling. In love, you should set gentle boundaries so that compassion does not turn into self-sacrifice. It is recommended to meditate, pray, clear energy, and trust the divine guidance within.

Information on Locations and Prices for Observing the Perseid Meteor Shower in the UAE

Residents of the United Arab Emirates are preparing for the upcoming Perseid meteor shower, which promises spectacular views of the celestial phenomenon over the Emirates' territories. Thanks to the vast deserts, dunes will be an ideal place to observe this natural show.

This year, the peak activity of the Perseids is on August 12–13, coinciding with the new moon. This ensures clear skies for residents with minimal interference from moonlight. The Perseid meteor shower is known for bright, fast meteors and rare fireballs—these are exceptionally bright meteors that can be brighter than Venus and are sometimes accompanied by sound.

For those who want to watch the meteors but do not know how to prepare or what to bring, various venues are organizing events for astronomy enthusiasts and beginners.

What is included in the event

In Al Khatim desert in Abu Dhabi, observation of a planetary telescope, a sky mapping session, and a Q&A session with experts are planned. Meteor observation will last until three o'clock in the morning. Organizers also provide mats for sitting, water, hot drinks, and snacks. The ticket price is 180 dirhams, and the child ticket costs 160 dirhams. An additional ticket for transportation costs 110 dirhams.

At Mleiha National Park in Sharjah, at the Mleiha Eye Lounge, the event will take place on August 13th from 6:30 PM to 1:00 AM. The cost includes an astronomy tour, a desert buffet dinner, scheduled telescope sessions, and continuous meteor observation. Non-alcoholic beverages, water, Karak tea, and Arabic coffee will also be served. The standard adult ticket is 225 dirhams, and the child ticket is 175 dirhams; premium tickets are sold out.

At Al Quaa location, the darkest spot in the UAE, dates available are August 13th, August 14th, September 5th, September 12th, October 3rd, and October 10th. Availability for August dates is limited. Here, a grilled barbecue dinner, camping equipment including a bonfire, and a stargazing tour with telescope access and guides knowledgeable about Al Quaa are offered. The price for an adult is 450 dirhams, for a child is 350 dirhams, and the bus transportation service from Dubai or Abu Dhabi to Al Quaa and back costs 200 dirhams.

Important Information

Regarding logistics, the nearest gas station is 25 minutes away. It is recommended to use a four-wheel-drive vehicle (4x4), although a standard car can also reach the destination. The parking area is located approximately 1 km from the event venue, and a shuttle service will be available.

If visiting Al Quaa, transport will be provided from regular cars to the interior of the desert using SUVs. A portable toilet with a private tent will be available. For complete information on visiting Al Quaa, it is recommended to read the report from Khaleej Times.

According to DAG recommendations, to maximize the experience of observing the Perseids, several points should be considered. A telescope or binoculars are not required to view the Perseids; they can be seen with the naked eye. Patience is crucial: phones must be turned off, and all screens avoided to allow eyes to adapt to the darkness for 20–30 minutes.

Deserts are ideal viewing spots, but precautions must be taken. If traveling alone (without an event organizer), groups should move together and carry sufficient supplies, including hydration and adequate lighting, depending on the expected duration of stay. Depending on the desert, permits may be required for extended camping, so information should be clarified with the relevant emirate authority.

For photography, it is recommended to use a DSLR or mirrorless camera for full manual control over settings such as ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. Autofocus must be disabled, and focus should be manually set on a bright star, planet, or infinity for the best clarity. It is recommended to set the aperture to f/2.8 or lower, use an exposure of 15 to 30 seconds, and set ISO to 1600 or higher.

North Korea advises consuming dog meat soup during intense heat

Severe heat is observed in North Korea, prompting the government to issue a recommendation for consuming dog meat soup as protection against the heat. The state newspaper Rodong Sinmun published this consultation on Sunday, advising people to eat food that strengthens the body during hot days.

In addition to watermelon, cucumbers, and beans, the recommendation also includes dog meat soup. The government claims that this traditional food strengthens the body and helps reduce the effects of heat. This recommendation appeared at a time when both North and South Korea are suffering from extreme heat.

The state newspaper, citing a senior doctor from Pyongyang General Hospital, warned that rising temperatures can exacerbate diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and hyperthyroidism. Therefore, the population is advised to consume nutritious food, drink more water, and avoid heatstroke. Dog meat soup has long been consumed in North Korea during the summer and is considered a traditional tonic for health there.

Despite the fact that this soup is quite expensive and not accessible to everyone, the North Korean government has promoted its consumption for many years. Special restaurants offering this dish exist in the capital, Pyongyang. Furthermore, the government periodically holds culinary contests dedicated to dog meat dishes, emphasizing that it is part of the country's ancient culinary traditions.

Meanwhile, South Korea has adopted the opposite stance. In 2024, a law was passed there prohibiting the keeping of dogs for food, as well as banning their slaughter, sale, and distribution. This law will fully take effect in February 2027. Violators may face imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of 30 million South Korean won.

In North Korea, temperatures have remained above 25 degrees Celsius for several consecutive nights since July 27. It is forecast that daytime temperatures in some areas will reach 33–35 degrees Celsius, while in others they may reach 40 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, South Korea is also experiencing one of the hottest waves in many decades. In light of this, North Korea has once again turned to its old traditional methods of combating the heat.
