The Zodiac is everywhere right now. Social feeds are full of posts calling out which signs are secretly villains, which ones will ghost you, and which definitely cry in the shower (looking at you, Pisces). Astrology memes are back in full force, celebs are sharing their signs like it’s a personality test, and people are eating it up. Whether you’re a true believer or just here for the tea, the Zodiac’s got something to say about you.
Whether you treat astrology like gospel or just read your horoscope for fun, we all know someone who’s “such a Virgo” or “100% Leo energy.” The Zodiac isn’t exactly science, but it does give us a weirdly accurate mirror sometimes. Here’s the vibe check for each sign—no sugarcoating, no judgment.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): Chaos in a good way. Aries charges into everything headfirst—fun, fearless, but also kinda reckless. They’ll start a project (or an argument) before you’ve even had coffee.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): The human equivalent of a weighted blanket. Taureans love stability, snacks, and staying in their lane. Push them too hard, though, and you’ll meet the stubborn side.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Talkative, smart, and constantly multitasking. They’ve got a million tabs open—mentally and emotionally. Catch them on the right day and they’re the life of the party. On the wrong day? Total mystery.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Walking heart emojis. Cancers feel everything deeply—ride or die for their people, but also might take things a little personally.
Leo (July 23 – August 22): Confident, dramatic, and honestly just fabulous. Leos don’t want the spotlight—they are the spotlight. They’ll hype you up… and also themselves.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22): Hyper-organized and always two steps ahead. Virgos notices everything—which is both comforting and mildly terrifying. They mean well, they just want things done right.
Libra (September 23 – October 22): Peacekeepers with great taste. Libras are charming and diplomatic—but try picking a dinner spot with one. It might take a while.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): Intense, private, and always ten layers deep. Scorpios love hard, hold grudges harder, and probably have your entire vibe figured out five minutes into meeting you.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Always ready to dip. Sag,, people hate being tied down, love deep convos, and will absolutely ghost you for a road trip. No shade—it’s just freedom first.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): Hustle mode, always. Capricorns have a plan, a backup plan, and a spreadsheet to track it all. Emotions? We’ll circle back.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Brilliant, weird, and 10 years ahead of everyone else. Aquarians are deep thinkers who probably had a Tumblr full of conspiracy theories and poetry.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Soft souls with loud imaginations. Pisces feels the vibes, writes songs about them, and then disappears for three days to cry or paint something.
Zodiac personality traits aren’t one-size-fits-all—but if you’ve ever read your sign and thought, “Okay wait, that’s kinda me,” you’re definitely not alone.
Astrology’s never really gone out of style, but lately? It’s everywhere. TikTok’s flooded with creators calling out red flags by sign (“If he’s a Gemini, run”) and giving hyper-specific birth chart breakdowns that feel like therapy. Add in those aesthetic zodiac mood boards, compatibility memes, and celeb sign reveals (shoutout to Zendaya for repping Virgo energy), and you’ve got a perfect storm of viral potential.
Part of the appeal? It’s personal. Astrology offers a low-stakes way to reflect on your personality, your relationships, and your vibe—without feeling too heavy. Gen Z and Millennials especially lean into that mix of emotional depth and memeable chaos. It’s therapy-adjacent, but make it fun.
Plus, in a world where everything feels a little unstable, knowing your “big three” (sun, moon, and rising) feels like a weird kind of control. Like, sure, Mercury’s in retrograde—but at least you knew it was coming.
Honestly? It’s only getting deeper. Expect more niche content around things like Saturn returns, lunar placements, and astrology-based dating profiles (yes, that’s already a thing). Apps like Co–Star and The Pattern are leaning hard into daily personality predictions, while platforms like TikTok keep pushing hyper-specific astrology takes—like “what your moon sign says about your breakup style.”
Astrology’s not just a trend—it’s basically a personality framework now. Whether you’re all in or just watching from the sidelines, don’t be surprised when your feed starts telling you which house placement makes you cry during commercials (spoiler: probably Pisces moon).

Free-agent center Adam Ruzicka turned to the KHL last season and had a solid showing in Russia with Spartak, but notably hasn’t signed a new deal there yet. Spartak adviser Valeri Kamensky told Alexander Abustin of Sport-Express that the reason Ruzicka hasn’t re-signed yet is because he’s holding out hope to get another NHL opportunity. The 26-year-old was a fourth-round pick by Calgary back in 2017, going 109th overall. He spent parts of four seasons with the Flames before being claimed off waivers by Arizona in early 2024. However, a month later, Ruzicka and the Coyotes agreed on a mutual contract termination, making him an unrestricted free agent. After another NHL chance didn’t materialize in short order, he ultimately signed with Spartak in late May 2024. Ruzicka was certainly productive in Russia, notching 26 goals and 19 assists in 65 regular-season games, good for fifth in team scoring. He was even better in the playoffs, picking up seven goals and five helpers in 12 postseason contests, making the most of his opportunity to play a more offensive role after being more of a depth player in the NHL. Over his four NHL seasons, Ruzicka has played in 117 games, picking up 14 goals and 26 assists. However, a good chunk of that production came in 2022-23 when he recorded 20 points in just 44 games with Calgary before his output tailed off the following year. He’s not too far removed from being a legitimate depth contributor at the top level. Kamensky acknowledged that discussions are underway with Ruzicka, so if he doesn’t get another NHL look, he’ll simply re-sign. But, for now at least, it appears he’s hoping to get another chance at the top level first.
Marshall Faulk is Colorado's new running backs coach, and the Buffaloes could not ask for someone with better experience for the job. That's, of course, because this is Faulk's first coaching gig. As a player, though, there were few better than the Pro Football Hall of Famer. In 12 seasons in the NFL, he rushed 2,836 times for 12,279 yards and 100 total touchdowns. He was a league MVP, a seven-time Pro Bowler and a Super Bowl champ. Faulk was the real deal, and now he has a chance to pass his experiences on to the running backs at Colorado. For him, it's more than just the opportunity to coach football, though. He gets to coach under Deion Sanders, whom he views as a major difference-maker for the game of football. "You guys know him in a different way than I know him," Faulk said in a recent media availability (h/t On3). "We’ve been friends for many years. We worked together in television. We always talk just about the game and probably more about kids coming up in the game. How do you affect and make sure they come into the game the right way? He’s one of those way makers. When you pay attention to kids that’s gonna leave this program and go to the next level, they’re gonna do it in a certain way and you’re gonna say, 'Wow, they were coached by a guy who understands how to get it done.' I identify with that." Colorado can certainly use Faulk's expertise heading into 2025. There are several players battling for the starting role after Isaiah Augustave transferred to South Carolina. Even then, he was Colorado's leading rusher last season while rushing for just 384 yards and four touchdowns, so it's not like the Buffs have a big gap that they're trying to replace. Dekalon Taylor transferred in from Incarnate Word, where he rushed for 909 yards and nine touchdowns last season, so he'll be a player to watch. Dallan Hayden, Micah Welch, Simeon Price and Charlie Offerdahl are also names to know. Faulk will have his work cut out for him, but he seems excited to make a difference both on and off the field for these young Buffaloes. "So coming here not just to win games on the field, but to win the game off the field, which is to make sure that these young men in life become what they want to become outside of football. They become the father that they want to be, the brother, the husband. Making sure that they do that, that’s the important part. That was attractive," he said.
To say that the Boston Red Sox are keeping MLB fans and analysts on their toes this season is an understatement. Almost two months after trading the face of their franchise, Boston signed MLB’s No. 1 prospect, Roman Anthony, to an eight-year, $130 million extension. Between trading Rafael Devers and locking Anthony up through 2034, the Red Sox have been the boldest MLB team this season by far. But will this move pay off? Fans expected Sox owner John Henry to spend money on the team during the offseason, but no one anticipated a massive mid-year pact with a rookie would occur. Anthony has only played 46 MLB games, during which he has slashed .283/.400/.428 with 19 RBIs and two home runs. While his rapid ascent through the minor league and hot start to his professional baseball career are beyond what fans could’ve asked for, Anthony’s extension is still premature from a financial perspective. With a $16.25 million AAV on his contract, the Sox have piled high expectations onto a player who recently turned 21 years old. For Anthony’s sizable and long-term commitment to be worth the investment, he should produce an annual 2.0 WAR at least and earn at least three or four All-Star, Gold Glove or Silver Slugger Awards by the end of his contract. For reference, Marcell Ozuna and Kyle Tucker received contracts within $250,000 AAV of Anthony’s contract AAV, according to Spotrac. All three achieved this criterion before they were rewarded with lucrative agreements. Weighing these standards against Anthony’s newness to MLB, it’s nearly impossible to say Boston’s decision-making was backed by more than just impulse. Somehow, Anthony isn’t the first rookie the Red Sox extended this year. With five games of baseball under his belt, Boston closed an eight-year, $60 million deal with Kristian Campbell, who was MLB’s No. 6 prospect at the time. While Campbell’s $7.5 million AAV is drastically different from Anthony’s, the Sox’s strategy to hoard young players before they’ve had enough time to prove themselves isn’t logical. Keeping Anthony off the free-agent market for the next decade may be the best risk the Sox have ever taken, or it may be one of the most expensive decisions made. Anthony must deliver the high-performance projections his contract sets for his early extension to pay off, but odds are, Boston is putting the cart before the horse.
How does a team move on from a crushing Super Bowl loss? According to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, forget about it immediately. The Philadelphia Eagles dismantled the Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans last season. While it was disappointing for the TE, Kelce said he moved on from it quickly. "I've thrown that thing in the trash," the TE told the media at training camp Wednesday. "I've moved on. It happened sooner than you can imagine. I was pretty focused on this year in the offseason." But can the Chiefs simply trash the Super Bowl loss, or will its effects linger throughout the season? History says the latter. Just six teams have made it back to the big game after losing the previous season. Of those six teams, just three have won it: the 1971 Dallas Cowboys, 1972 Miami Dolphins and 2018 New England Patriots. The San Francisco 49ers imploded last season after losing Super Bowl LVIII to the Chiefs. They went 6-11, missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season. The 49ers lost several stars to injury, including running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee). The injury bug could already be biting Kansas City. Kelce, who turns 36 on Oct. 5, just had a major admission about his injury status. Meanwhile, two of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top targets are both dealing with injuries early in camp. Meanwhile, Kansas City is also dealing with a few glaring concerns in camp. The Chiefs also may face increased competition in the AFC West. Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton is confident his team is a Super Bowl contender. New Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith, meanwhile, thinks the Silver and Black are being underestimated. And the Los Angeles Chargers are coming off a playoff trip in their first season under HC Jim Harbaugh. Forgetting about the loss may not help the Chiefs. They must learn from it to navigate what should be a difficult path back to a championship.
