OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died in 2023 but her column will be kept alive by her friend and protégée Maggie Innes.
Read on to see what’s written in the stars for you today.
ARIES
MAR 21 – APR 20
With Mercury sharpening your creative thinking, you possess the ability to review numerous ideas and instantly identify the best one for you.
While barriers may still emerge, they will now seem temporary and beatable.
In love, it’s tempting to keep planning a grand reveal, but your chart is ready for you to simply go for it.
A family new moon favors fresh ways of bonding with someone whose name begins with “D.”
TAURUS
APR 21 – MAY 21
Sticking to your convictions on a family issue may not be easy, but you can achieve it by consistently returning to the “why” rather than fretting over the “how.”
While you generally dislike conflict, healthy debate can be very healing for you this week.
In terms of passion, the new moon helps loosen any shyness, allowing partners to relate on a new level of absolute honesty.
If you’re single, “The One” might get your name wrong at first.
GEMINI
MAY 22 – JUNE 21
Your chart grants you the energy to restart a cash calculation; play your part by applying your firmest focus and keeping negative voices out of your head.
This is a week of communication ease, thanks to Mercury, as even words you assumed were lost in translation could begin to yield rewards.
So, do be patient a little longer.
Passion brings back a fantasy face.
CANCER
JUNE 22 – JULY 22
With Mars now established in your connections sector, you have the courage to contact anyone, even when unsure of the response.
So, use this while it’s hot.
If you’re in love, a personal new moon is your “try-anything” trump card—ask again, and a partner may have changed their mind.
If you’re single, no one is out of your league; remember that around someone whose name begins with “K.”
LEO
JULY 23 – AUG 23
The logic and mental sparkle of Mercury are all yours for the next few weeks, so how will you use it?
From writing effective reports to putting difficult feelings into words, you can persuade and promote in your own unique way.
Your words could even feature on a stage or screen.
A secret that is starting to bother you needs some attention; the new moon can help.
VIRGO
AUG 24 – SEPT 22
Your focus is on the friendship world, and who may need more from you at this time.
This could be the least likely person to ask, yet your moon instinct is strong, so do listen to it.
If you’re in a relationship, Venus keeps a door open while you decide, but this may not be forever.
If you’re single, your dream date has so many travel stories to tell.
Luck circles someone whose name begins with “F.”
LIBRA
SEPT 23 – OCT 23
Choosing the right goal at the right time is your big decision this week, and the light of the new moon is your best guide.
Even if an ambition isn’t the biggest or most impressive, if it feels right, it is right.
But you must promise yourself not to keep looking back—only forward.
Love that asks more questions than it answers can be a challenge, but an irresistible one.
SCORPIO
OCT 24 – NOV 22
New destinations and a fresh sense of pushing boundaries make your chart dance this week—there’s nothing you can’t take on when you set your heart on it.
But beware of using this strength to slip over some love-lines, perhaps linked to someone not completely free.
A better option can be right there when you truly look.
Mercury boosts quick-reaction time for prizes.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 – DEC 21
As your learning ability increases almost overnight, this can be your moment to get back to a study or practical experience course.
Previous blocks can be gone, and the road to your future feels wide open.
You’ve also taken lessons on board in love, and even against the odds, you should be safe from repeating a recent mistake.
So, do trust your heart again, totally.
CAPRICORN
DEC 22 – JAN 20
So many aspects of yourself may have puzzled you lately, but now Mercury brings some understanding, plus the ability to push forward again.
You can deal with doubts and cope with uncertainty, setting a new standard for everyone else in your life.
A moon of reconciliation gets two sides talking again, and a team can be back together.
Love is lighter, with a two-way sense of fun.
AQUARIUS
JAN 21 – FEB 18
Sticking to a health track, even when it no longer feels like a great fit, is not the Aquarius answer.
This week, you can read or hear about something that could be so much better, and you will recognize it straight away.
If you’re in love, Mercury adds forward-planning to Venus’s security, and some big plans can be made.
If you’re single, a dull date can hide such a hot prospect.
PISCES
FEB 19 – MAR 20
With the heat of the sun and the insight of the new moon both lighting up your creative chart, ideas flow thick and fast, and at least one can be well underway by the weekend.
The key is starting strong, even when the plan isn’t quite perfect, as you have the initiative to alter it along the way.
Passion links to voices, and the way you simply can’t ignore one special one.
