Russian Air Defense Fire Suspected in Azerbaijan Airlines Crash

  Aviation experts have raised concerns that Russia's air defense fire may have caused the recent crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane, as the nation mourns the loss of 38 lives. The Embraer 190 aircraft, en route from Baku to Grozny, was diverted to Aktau, Kazakhstan, due to unspecified reasons. Tragically, it crashed while attempting to land, killing 38 of the 67 people on board and injuring all 29 survivors.  Cellphone footage shows the plane making a steep descent before crashing into the ground and exploding. Experts point to holes in the plane's tail section as evidence that it may have been hit by a Russian air defense missile, possibly while Russia was defending against a Ukrainian drone attack. Azerbaijan observed a nationwide day of mourning, with flags lowered to half-mast and a moment of silence observed across the country.

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You may not realize it but you are on the verge of an important breakthrough, one that can change your life for the better on numerous levels, so get serious about your ambitions and cut out the late nights. Work must come first this year.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

If you make a mess of something this weekend you must not try to cover it up. Friends and colleagues will be more inclined to forgive and forget if you hold up your hand and admit your error. They may even praise you for your honesty.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Your No. 1 priority over the next 48 hours must be to go out and have fun with your friends. If you get stuck in the office you may look back a week or so from now and wish you had not been quite such a workaholic.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

It may be tempting to spend your way out of your current low mood but common sense should tell you that in the long-term that could make matters worse. Instead, find yourself a quiet space and meditate on all the good things you have in your life.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Make the most of the next few days because when the sun leaves your sign on the 22nd it may not be so easy to focus on your own needs and desires. In fact, if you don’t get an important project finished soon you could run out of time.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Your ability to see through lies and deceptions will come in handy this weekend as you will be called on to deal with people whose motives seem a bit suspect. Don’t listen so much to what they are saying, watch what they are actually doing.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

What a friend or loved one tells you this weekend may be the opposite of what you wanted to hear but if you are smart you will bow to their greater experience and follow their advice. There is no shame in admitting that others know better than you.

    LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

    The bigger the challenge the more you will like it over the next few days – in fact you may actually go looking for dragons to slay. You are in one of those moods when you feel the need to prove yourself, so the bigger the threat the better.

    SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

    It is not in your nature to compromise but at some point over the next 48 hours you will have to retreat from your current position and meet others halfway. Just because you have drawn a red line does not mean you have to stick with it.

    SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

    What you think you see and what is actually there could be two entirely different things this weekend. No, it’s not your eyesight that’s at fault, it’s your expectations – you seem to have persuaded yourself that white is black and right is wrong.

    CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

    Assess your aims carefully before going after them this weekend. A little bit of thought will go a long way, especially if you are the kind of Capricorn who tends to jump in where angels fear to tread. In other words, look before you leap!

    AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

    You have no option but to roll up your sleeves and get stuck into a task you would like to get finished by the start of next week. The longer you sit there looking at it the closer the deadline will loom and the harder your labour will be.

    PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

    What occurs this weekend has the potential to make up for a lot of previous disappointments, but only if you are alert to what’s going on around you. If an opportunity arises you must go for it instantly – you’ve done enough thinking and now need to act.
