Canada has reportedly agreed to delay its planned digital services tax (DST) following pressure from former U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a recent statement from the White House. The tax, which was originally slated to target tech giants like Amazon, Meta, and Google, had been a major sticking point in U.S.-Canada trade discussions.

Your daily horoscope: May 28, 2025

 

Your outlook on life has been so optimistic of late that some people think you will overreact and go to the other extreme, but they are wrong. The message of your birthday chart is that no matter how good life may be now it will keep getting better.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Intense cosmic activity in the area of your chart that governs travel and social activities means you will be even more friendly and outgoing than usual today. Avoid people whose outlook on life is defined by negativity – they are a drain on your energy.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

The sun, Mercury and Jupiter in the money area of your chart makes this a good time to look at your financial situation and start making plans for a richer and more enjoyable future. Think lucky and you will be lucky, it’s really that simple.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

After being on such an emotional high over the past few days it follows that you could feel a bit down over the next 24 hours, but it is only a temporary blip in your surge to the top. Overall you are still on an upward trajectory.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You don’t have to conform to other people’s expectations and be the life and soul of the party. You have a great deal on your mind at the moment, so you cannot afford to waste time and energy on people who don’t know how to be serious.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

All things are possible for you now and if you can believe that with both your head and your heart the events of the next few days will seem nothing less than miraculous. To start with, a new friendship will inspire you to reach for the stars.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

When you want something enough no one and nothing is able to stop you, and because you desire to move up in the world all your efforts must now be focused on your career. Powerful people will admire your ambition, and maybe fear it a bit as well.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

If you can visualize what it is you are trying to accomplish there is no doubt at all that it will soon be a reality. The more you can focus your thoughts on a single ambition the more likely it is your dream result will take shape.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Do you have what it takes to compete at the highest level? Of course you do! Make it your business between now and the weekend to act as if the fruits of success are already coming your way. As you think, so it will be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You will have to deal with someone today who is every bit as ambitious as you are and the potential for conflict is clear. However, if you can put aside your competitive instincts for a bit you can find ways to work together that benefit you both.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

If you approach a task you don’t have much enthusiasm for in a positive frame of mind it may turn out to be an enjoyable experience. What you do matters less than the manner in which you choose to do it, so choose energy and excellence.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You may not care much for rewards and applause but you are going to get plenty of both over the next few days. How long you remain in the spotlight will depend on how well you handle yourself while every eye in the house is on you.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

The more advice you get from family and friends and colleagues today the more inclined you will be to ignore it and that’s a good thing. As one of the zodiac’s most intuitive signs you know you can trust what your inner voice tells you.
