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

Not only is there a full moon on your birthday but Saturn is strong as well, so self-control is going to be a big issue for you over the next 12 months. Be passionate about what you are doing but temper that passion with discipline and common sense.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Are other people really making life difficult for you or are you making life difficult for yourself? Today’s full moon suggests it is most likely the latter, so lighten up a bit and try looking at events through a more positive lens.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Today’s full moon in your sign could make you more emotional than usual but maybe that’s no bad thing. As one of the zodiac’s Earth signs you tend to keep your feelings bottled up inside and that’s not always a healthy thing to do.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

If you are worried that a loved one is about to make a decision that is guaranteed to go wrong then, yes, speak up and let them know. If, however, they choose to ignore your advice there is nothing more you can do. They’ll learn from their mistake.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Are the goals you have been aiming for in recent months goals you have chosen for yourself or goals that have been set for you by other people? If it’s the latter then it’s time to break free and do only what is important to you personally.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Because today’s full moon cuts across the family and career axis of your chart you need to consider if you have got the balance right between your home life and your working life. If an adjustment is necessary it may have to be a large one.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

What looks like a difficult choice at the start of the day will turn into a simple one by the end of the day, so don’t be too eager to jump one way or the other. With any luck someone else will make the right choice for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You may not have accomplished everything you set out to do at the start of the year but you have achieved enough to reach round and give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back. What resolutions are you planning for 2025?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

The sun in your sign means you find it easy enough to overcome most obstacles that are placed in your path but today’s full moon indicates there is one obstacle it may now be impossible to remove. Find a way to go around it instead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

A friend or loved one is in need of a dose of reality and you must be the one who gives it to them. It may not be a pleasurable experience for either of you but if you don’t set them right now their troubles will keep getting worse.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

A full moon in the most dynamic area of your chart will encourage you to take more risks than usual but don’t get carried away and bet everything on one throw of the dice. Limit yourself to risks that won’t bust you if they go wrong.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

There is no point asking others what they think about what you are doing because their replies will surely be negative. They have their own challenges to deal with and are unlikely to be in the mood to be kind about other people’s efforts.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

The message of the stars today is that you need to be extra careful when travelling and socializing. An invitation that arrives out of the blue may be intriguing but it could cost you time and money that is better spent on other things.
