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

Cosmic activity in the money area of your chart means that what you own and what you earn is going to be of major importance over the coming year. Stay calm and let your inner voice guide your every move – then every move will be a good one.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You will have to face up to some unpleasant facts over the next few days, facts you were hoping might just go away if you ignored them. Mercury’s retrograde phase means that isn’t going to happen, so they must now be dealt with.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

There is no point trying to hide what you think. Come right out with it and let others know why you feel they have let you down – and what they can do to make it up to you. They will go out of their way to appease you.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

The more you try to explain what it is you are hoping to accomplish the less others seem to get it. Is it because they are stupid or is it because they don’t want to know? Either way, looks like for this one you are on your own.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You are right to be suspicious, because there really is something going on that you need to know about. You are more likely to find out what that something is if you do some quiet research. Loudly demanding answers is unlikely to work.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

According to the planets there is something you have missed, something that could have serious repercussions for your financial situation. Do some asking around today and find out what that something is – and then, of course, do something about it.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Draw up a detailed schedule for the coming week and make sure you stick to it. Also, tune out people whose constant chatter disturbs you. If you allow yourself to be distracted for even a moment your plans could fall apart with alarming ease.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You may believe that your current big idea is the best you’ve ever had but as mind planet Mercury begins its retrograde phase today you could be kidding yourself. Before acting on that idea make a serious effort to test it for potential flaws.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

There may be one or two setbacks on the work front over the next few days but you won’t be dismayed and you won’t be put off because you have total self-belief. Others may falter but your strength of purpose will see you through.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

If a friend tries to give you some advice today it would be smart of you to listen. Their ideas may seem a bit confused but if you make an effort to understand them it could save you making a fool of yourself, and save some serious money.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

You must not allow yourself to be rushed today. The fact that you like to weigh up all the pros and cons before making a decision is a source of strength, not weakness – and there is more than one way to look at your current situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You need to get past the idea that you must do everything yourself to make sure it is done correctly. Friends and colleagues will make a good job of the responsibilities you delegate to them, so give them permission to make their own decisions.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

The harder you try to figure out what is going on, both in your personal life and in your working environment, the more confusing it all becomes. Take the hint and let it be for a while. Maybe it’s not yet the right time for you to know.
