What You Need Most in a Relationship, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

People love to say they want “communication” and “trust,” then proceed to define those words in twelve completely different ways. Relationships don’t implode because nobody cared. They implode because one person wants reassurance, the other wants space, and both act like their version is the only sane one. Astrology can’t do the work for you, but it can highlight what keeps you attached. Here’s what each sign responds to when it’s serious. Aries Non-Negotiable: Directness with real follow-through. Aries bonds through momentum. They respect someone who says what they mean and actually does it. Interest shows up in action, not endless “we should” conversations, and boredom is the fastest way to lose them. Taurus Non-Negotiable: Consistency you can really feel. Safety is romantic for Taurus. Steady effort, physical affection, and a life that doesn’t swing wildly week to week keeps them open. Hot-and-cold behavior shuts them down fast. Gemini Non-Negotiable: A mind that stays eng...

This Is the Most Common Cause of Male Infertility (and How to Fix It)

If you’ve been trying for a baby and nothing is happening, the vibe in your house can go from hopeful to clinical and depressing pretty quickly. Ovulation strips on the bathroom counter. Group texts from friends who “weren’t even trying.” Googling every possible reason or cause.  Sadly, a lot of couples hit this wall. Public health experts define infertility as pregnancy that hasn’t happened after a year of unprotected sex. And while our culture loves to treat fertility like a woman’s problem, male factors play a huge role. The most common identifiable cause of male infertility is also one of the least sexy words you’ll hear all week. It’s called a varicocele . It’s basically swollen veins in the scrotum, similar to varicose veins in the legs. The short version is heat and blood flow. Sperm production hates extra warmth, and a varicocele can raise the temperature around the testicles enough to affect how well the sperm swim and even kill them. Varicoceles are common in the gene...

Weekly Horoscope: February 22-February 28

Image
This week doesn’t tiptoe in. It grabs your collar and asks what you’re actually doing with your life. Mercury stations retrograde, Mars squares Uranus, and feelings swing fast under a Gemini half moon. You can blame the planets, stargazer, but some of this is your own unfinished business knocking again. Old texts resurface. Impulses spike. Desires you tried to ignore start pacing around your apartment at 2 a.m. Venus and Jupiter soften the edges, offering moments of sweetness, connection, and very tempting distractions. Still, the real work sits in how you respond when plans shift or egos flare. This is a week for bold conversations, strategic silence, and knowing when to log off before you say something that lives forever in a screenshot. Passion runs high. So does pride. Handle both like they’re expensive. How will your sign fare this week? Aries: March 21 – April 19 You wake up this week ready to push something forward, but the Moon squares your ruling planet on the 23rd pokes ...

8 Historical Beauty Trends That Were Straight-Up Dangerous

Beauty standards have always come with a price. Some eras wanted pale skin, some wanted tiny waists, some wanted eyes that looked permanently “wow.” Plenty of it came with a side of real medical consequences . Before anyone gets smug about modern skincare, history has receipts. People swallowed poisons, painted them on their faces, and strapped themselves into contraptions because the look of the moment demanded commitment. Here are some of the wildest beauty trends from the past that are straight-up dangerous. 1. Lead Face Paint for a Porcelain Complexion A pale complexion was seen as a sign of wealth in Europe, so some people went all-in on lead-based face paint, including Venetian ceruse . It gave users that opaque, uniform finish that looked expensive in portraits and candlelight, like you never worked a day in the fields. Over time, that could mean skin damage, hair loss, neurological problems, and the slow grind of chronic poisoning. 2. ‘Safe’ Arsenic Complexion Wafers Yep,...

7 People Who Vanished Without a Trace and the Explanations That Made It Worse

Missing persons stories are terrifying because they leave so much unknown. We’d like to think that if something went wrong, someone would notice. Help would arrive. The digital and paper trails would make sense. Then you read enough accounts of people who seemed to vanish into thin air and realize it doesn’t always work that way. Here are seven disappearances where the leading explanations don’t bring any comfort whatsoever. They add a new layer of dread, because it’s easy to imagine how quickly a person can slip out of reach. 1. D.B. Cooper, Who Jumped Out of a Plane and Never Came Back In 1971, a man hijacked a commercial flight, collected cash and parachutes, then bailed out midair and vanished. The FBI calls it an “intriguing mystery,” and the case stayed open for decades because nobody could prove what happened after the jump. The money never fully surfaced. Neither did he. 2. Harold Holt, An Actual Prime Minister, Lost to the Sea Australia’s Prime Minister Harold Holt walk...

Some of the Most Iconic, Hilarious, and Downright Questionable Aliases in Rock Music

Whether these aliases are for anonymity, elaborate character backstories, or just cool nicknames, here are three bands with some of the most insane and interesting stage names in hardcore punk, heavy metal, and alternative rock. Most Iconic: The Majority of Dead Kennedys First of all, Dead Kennedys are already iconic for their contribution to the early American punk scene. But further than that, many of the band’s members had nicknames that stuck around in the annals of punk history. What comes to mind first when you think of Dead Kennedys? Jello Biafra, possibly, or East Bay Ray. Maybe Klaus Flouride, all three of whom were founding members. Jello Biafra’s real name is Eric Boucher, while East Bay Ray and Klaus Flouride were christened Raymond Pepperell and Geoffrey Lyall, respectively. The band’s first drummer was Ted, whose real name was actually Bruce Slesinger. Additionally, their first guitarist went by the alias 6025, but his real name was Carlos Cadona. Later, D. H. Peligro ...

Daily Horoscope: February 20, 2026

Image
Today has a “don’t believe every thought you think” vibe, but with real stakes. Saturn meets Neptune and turns the day into a fact-check: What’s true, what’s wishful, and what’s a convenient excuse with good branding. Dreams want a backbone, boundaries want a little magic, and your calendar wants you to stop pretending you can do eight things in one hour. Somewhere between “I’ll figure it out later” and “I must control everything,” there’s a third option: choose one thing you can actually finish and do it clean. Stargazer, this is the cosmic audit where you keep the imagination and lose the self-sabotage. Read your horoscope for the week , and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.  Aries: March 21 – April 19 You’re not here to be bulletproof. Mars in sextile to Chiron favors honest repairs over heroic poses. Aries, a small admission can change the temperature of a relationship, even if it’s awkward. Pick one place you’ve been stubborn out of self-protection and ...
