Notre-Dame Cathedral Reborn: A Testament to Resilience and Restoration

  After five years of meticulous reconstruction, the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral is set to reopen its doors to the public on December 8, 2024. The reopening ceremony will take place on December 7, marking a significant milestone in the cathedral's history. The fire on April 15, 2019, caused extensive damage to the historic cathedral, collapsing its iconic spire and causing significant harm to its roof, stained-glass windows, and interior artworks. Despite initial doubts and estimates that the restoration could take up to 40 years, French President Emmanuel Macron's ambitious goal to complete the reconstruction within five years has been achieved. The restoration project, costing around $737 million, was funded by donations from 340,000 individuals across 150 countries. The project involved the efforts of 2,000 artisans and 250 companies, who worked tirelessly to restore the cathedral to its former glory.

Your daily horoscope: November 12

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Words will come easy to you over the coming year but you need to be aware that even the smallest things you say can have massive effects on the lives of other people. Always make sure your comments are both constructive and kind.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Your confidence will soar today and you will naturally believe that all things are possible, at least for you personally. Others though may not be quite so secure in their self-belief, so make allowances for those who still see failure around every corner.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

If someone has been deceiving you either at home or at work then what they say or do today will catch them out and they won’t be able to deny it. Next time, try not to be so trusting when partners and colleagues say everything is fine.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

This is a good time to open up and let someone you are close to emotionally know how much you care. Because you tend to live more in your head than your heart you don’t always realize how important it is to say those words “I love you”.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Everything in life balances out in the end, because that is the way the universe works, and if you keep that fact in mind today you won’t be fazed by the seemingly random events that sometimes occur. Stay calm – the world will turn again.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If you have been searching for something meaningful to focus on then what happens today will point you in the right direction and all you have to do is march confidently into the future. Watch for signs wherever you go and whatever you do.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Friends and colleagues have been rather demanding of late but because of that you have built up a stock of favours due, some of which you can now start calling in. Let them know what it is you need and that you expect to get it right away.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Get out and about and make friends with the world today. Even when you encounter people you don’t much like on a personal level you can still create a connection if you make an effort to look past your superficial differences and find what unites you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

If you take a risk over the next 24 hours you will probably get away with it but you need to be smart and not push your luck too far. The upcoming full moon will punish you if you allow your confidence to turn into arrogance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

If you make a wish of some kind today it stands a very good chance of coming true before the end of the year, but you must make sure it is what you truly desire. The universe will answer your prayers even if they are bad for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Your head may be full of great ideas but you must balance them with lots of common sense today. Yes, if you think it you can probably do it, but if you fly too high, and make a mistake, it’s a long way to fall back to Earth.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You will be asking some very deep questions over the next 24 hours, questions of the “Who am I?” and “What does it all mean?” variety. You may or may not get the answers you seek but your understanding of reality will somehow be expanded.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

If you keep your eyes and ears open today you could see or hear something that will be useful to you over the next few weeks. On the work front, especially, tensions among employers and colleagues will create opportunities that you can exploit.
