This is the time where, no matter who we are or what Sun sign we were born under, we take on the traits of the season, and oddly enough, the shadowy influence of Scorpio also happens to be a very positive one, indeed. RELATED: 5 Zodiac Signs That Are Scorpio Soulmates Scorpio Sun brings us the ability to see into the future; we know that we have to take things down a notch, right now, simply because the year is beginning its end, but we also know where we’re going....

Getting “turned on” doesn’t always refer to what happens in the bedroom. When we live our life with mindfulness — being present in each moment and remaining aware of everything and everyone around us — the ecstasy we can experience is similar to that we feel when having a love affair with someone. Mindfulness is defined as, “The basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us....

Amid widespread human rights protests across Iran following the death of another woman, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman apprehended for apparently not wearing her hijab properly, the execution of these activists is an opportunity for international supporters to raise their voices to prevent more death in Iran. Zahra Seddiqi-Hamedani and Elham Choubdar are facing execution in Iran. On September 4, it was reported that Zahra Seddiqi-Hamedani, 31, and Elham Choubdar, 24, were sentenced to death by an Urmia court in a joint case on the charge of “Corruption on Earth” through the “promotion” of homosexuality....

While bringing on a period may seem insane to some, there are a lot of valid reasons to bring on a period. Maybe you have a big vacation coming up and don’t want to worry about tampons all day when you’re out on the town, or maybe you don’t want to be moody and irritable when on a first date. Whatever your reason, it’s possible to speed up Mother Nature’s arrival, but learning how to make your period come sooner is not a foolproof process....

Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars are the power players here, representing the order of each hour respectively. The pattern and hours vary based on the day of the week, so each day will initiate a different planetary hour. The order of planets does not change, but the one that kicks off each day does. You can use a planetary hour calculator to see upcoming planetary hours which you can use to plan your days accordingly....

When it comes to love and marriage more specifically, there are three key planets that rule over this area of your life. Venus, the planet of love, transits often coincide with meeting someone special. Jupiter is the planet of abundance and expansion, When it touches the romance sector of your life it can represent a time when you will experience a greater commitment such as marriage. While Saturn is a planet that often is seen as more serious, when it comes to long-term marriage this can be a significant transit to look for as it can represent whether it is going to be forever loved or instead only temporary....

While I was a late joiner to the “Sex & The City” phenomenon back in the day, I quickly became — like millions of women — a super fan, obsessing over every romantic and friendship melodrama, currently experiencing a revival in the form of “And Just Like That” on HBO. I even spent a decade in a very Carrie-esque career — writing about breakups, dating, and relationships for a living....

As a queer man with disabilities, I have had an interesting relationship with these platforms. On one hand, these apps make everyone accessible to me. I don’t have to travel into the city in the hopes of meeting a mate, only to discover that the venue is inaccessible to me as a wheelchair user. Instead, I can just point and click — it’s almost too easy. This quick, accessible, and digital dating comes with its own unique challenges when one is sexy and seated....

I never wanted kids and had motherhood regret. The idea of sleepless nights and wiping butts, mashed potatoes smeared on the walls, and toddler tantrums just wasn’t something I felt called to do. Don’t get me wrong; I like kids … other people’s kids. For a short amount of time. When I was a teenager, I would babysit because kids seemed to like me. I guess I liked them when I was younger....

And I assumed she would marry a boy. A human boy. I often write from home while my 4-year-old daughter paints, plays video games or just invents whatever adorable little make-believes she wants to behind me. You learn to tune the whole thing out like supermarket music, maintaining just enough awareness to detect the tell-tale signs of injury, cookie theft or cat harassment. You can’t totally turn off your ears, though, and that day I distinctly heard the strains of Richard Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus” (that’s the real name of “Here Comes the Bride”) being hummed loudly behind me....

As a woman whose brain is constantly in the gutter, I immediately assumed it was somehow sex-related, as in, perhaps frenulum texting. Although there are more than a few frenulum on the body, I figured it must have been the ones on the penis or vagina. Based on the word, it made total sense. RELATED: Man Gets Back At Cousin Who Stole His Girlfriend By Giving Vengeful Speech At Their Wedding Much to my disappointment, frexting has nothing to do with the frenulum....

While Rogan, 55, is known for some of his controversial opinions and blunt attitude, he also speaks candidly about the negative effects of toxic masculinity, especially how it manifested for him during his childhood. During an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan spoke candidly about his childhood and growing up with an abusive father who skewed his perception of masculinity while growing up.

Fans of Depp, who recently secured a legal victory against ex-wife Amber Heard in his defamation lawsuit, have been eagerly awaiting his return to the screen and will no doubt welcome the possibility of seeing him in the comedy show. Is Johnny Depp playing Uncle Fester in ‘Wednesday’? Depp’s involvement in the series has yet to be confirmed but, given that the show’s creators have gone to great lengths to keep the casting for the role a secret, there are plenty of clues to suggest the actor will take on the role....

Now at 26, I have a box full noting more than a decade of life’s trials and tribulations. The passages that begin with simple misgivings of youth bleed into teenage insecurities, the confusion of post-grad, and into my most vivid, real adult heartbreak. My journals were where I stored my deepest vulnerabilities. They were a friend I relied on at night after putting on a brave face during the day....

I know, it’s a problem. I literally walk down the street and see women with their fat, sweet-looking babies and must resist bizarre urges like demanding passing male strangers inseminate me or suck on the toes of the next infant I see. Neither are, you know, acceptable in polite society. RELATED: 5 Everyday Things That Seriously Hurt Your Chances Of Conceiving My boyfriend knows I want kids and he’s down, that said: he’s literally got a 2-week-old newborn, so my already over-boiled eggs are gonna have to go on the back-burner for a little bit....

On October 9th, 2017, Lake County Sheriff’s deputies kicked the door into a family home in Lady Lake.

Now, Jeremy Main is due to stand trial for the murder of Mackenzie. Main, 43, could face the death penalty for the horrific murder, to which he admitted to carrying out hours after the toddler was found dead....

Now, insiders are claiming that after months of receiving sporadic hatred from West, Davidson is receiving trauma therapy. Against the backdrop of a national mental health crisis, West’s behavior can no longer slip idly by considering the very real damage it has caused Davidson. Kanye West’s behavior towards Pete Davidson should be considered a form of bullying. After West’s post of a fake New York Times newspaper article with the headline “Skete Davidson dead at age 28” hit the internet, fans and critics of the rapper soon divided....

In a recent interview, Paul attempted to call out Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, for “taking advantage” of the tax laws on the island. Logan Paul called Bad Bunny out over Puerto Rico’s tax laws. Paul accused Bad Bunny of being “hypocritical” when it comes to following Puerto Rico’s tax laws, despite the laws not applying to the musician. The comments from Paul came after Bad Bunny released a 20-minute documentary on September 16, which centered on Act 22, a controversial tax break for foreigners which allows residents to avoid paying capital gains taxes on cryptocurrency, stocks, and real estate....
