With Chiron in Pisces, your journey is letting go of ungrounded fantasies and loving yourself unconditionally. Pisces has a big imagination, which fuels its creative nature; however, often with this placement, imagination can be used as a coping mechanism. Perhaps you find yourself in relationships where you keep hoping your partner will change, but it doesn’t end up happening.

A new study in Neurology links chronic insomnia with a 40% higher risk of later cognitive impairment.People with insomnia who also slept less than usual, were more likely to have markers tied to memory problems.Starting a nightly routine and advice from a health care professional can help with quality sleep. Sleepless nights aren’t just exhausting—they may carry implications for long-term brain health. While many of us experience occasional rough patches, chronic insomnia has been increasingly connected to memory and thinking changes as we age. Now, new research published in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, adds…

The Nutrition Bar Confectioners, a US manufacturer, has been raided by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The forces targeting Latino employees have detained dozens — including nursing mothers separated from their infants — impacting business operations and expansion plans. New York State Governor Kathy Hochul visited the facility in Cato, where the event took place. “First of all, for the business, they’re struggling to keep their business afloat. I walked the factory lines that were idle. They make products that are sold in Costco, Walmart, and stores all across the world. They showed me the assembly lines that were…

A frustrating fact is that women are twice as likely as men1 to have depression. And the difference appears starting at age 122. Some known risks (unique or more prevalent for women) of depression include all the hormonal shifts from puberty to pregnancy to postpartum to menopause as well as financial struggles, work overload, and a history of abuse. 

Pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers. Given that the disease is asymptomatic at early stages, pancreatic cancer is difficult to detect and easy to metastasize throughout the body.  In a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation titled, “Antithrombin-binding heparan sulfate is ubiquitously expressed in epithelial cells and suppresses pancreatic tumorigenesis,” researchers from the Salk Institute and the University of California (UC) San Diego have identified a sugar, HSAT (antithrombin-binding heparan sulfate), as a potential therapeutic target for slowing tumor progression and metastasis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the most common pancreatic cancer.  “We…

With just a few days left of Virgo season, there’s still time for one more new moon in Virgo to give us the motivation boost we need. (We already had the first Virgo new moon four weeks back, in case you missed it!) And not only is it rare to have two consecutive new moons in the same time, but this new moon in Virgo doubles as a partial solar eclipse.

“Staggering” competition for some NHS specialty training posts has laid bare a “crisis facing medical training” that is leaving many resident doctors “in limbo,” leaders have warned.Doctors said that newly released NHS statistics on 2025 competition rates—which show that demand for some specialties has almost quadrupled—were “indicative of a broken application system.”The data show that a total of 91 999 applications were made in England for the 12 833 specialty training posts available at all training levels,1 giving an overall competition ratio of 7. This means that there were seven applications overall for every specialty training post in 2025, a rise from…

Credit: HABits Lab / Northwestern University Wearable technology could overhaul the treatment of obesity, research suggests, with sensors on a necklace and wristband together with a body camera capturing real-world overeating patterns for treatment. The tech, outlined in npj Digital Medicine, sets the scene for personalized interventions that can identify the specific drivers of overeating, tailoring treatment accordingly. The study identified five general patterns of overeating that occurred among the participants, which were triggered by specific behavioral and psychological and contextual factors. “Overeating is a major contributor to obesity, yet most treatments overlook the unconscious habits that drive it,” said…

This copycat recipe uses just five ingredients and takes about 10 minutes to make.The homemade version is less sweet and skips Starbucks’ flavored syrups.Frothing the pumpkin cream topping is the most time-consuming step, but worth it. When it comes to seasonal Starbucks drinks, I can’t get enough of them, especially in the fall. As a pumpkin lover, the Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew are basically my kryptonite. One of my favorite TikTok creators Bria Lemirande is a fellow Starbucks lover, so when she came out with her version of a homemade Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, I was…

While developing his theory of natural selection, Charles Darwin was horrified by a group of wasps that lay their eggs within the bodies of caterpillars, with the larvae eating their hosts alive from the inside-out.1Darwin didn’t judge the wasps. Instead, he was troubled by what they revealed about evolution. They showed natural selection to be an amoral process. Any behavior that enhances fitness, nice or nasty, would spread.Selection isn’t limited to DNA. All systems of inheritance, variation and competition inexorably lead to selection. This includes culture, and I’m one of a team of researchers at Arizona State University’s Institute of…
