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
If you have been doubting any of your deepest ambitions, Mercury’s gear-shift boosts your certainty that you are on the right track.
But it may be wise to re-check a timetable, make some adjustments.
Passion is strongest where strangers sing together – if you’re single, the first “Happy New Year” you hear can change your future.
Luck wears orange.
TAURUS
APR 21 – MAY 21
So much planet attention focuses on learning for you – so ask yourself if you could go further, do more.
All the pieces can fall into place when you make one inner choice.
In love? A time of distance can change to extra closeness.
If you’re single, someone who always seems in a rush, could be your soulmate.
You have full moon insight to select winning names.
GEMINI
MAY 22 – JUNE 21
Making big promises to yourself to look, or behave, in a very different way gets such a kick start from Mercury, plus the full moon.
So start this week as you mean to go on – confident and calm.
If you sense friends are hiding something, the right questions are kind and caring, not critical.
Your passion profile shines and love reaches a new, as-yet-unexplored, level.
CANCER
JUNE 22 – JULY 22
Your personal full moon radiates potential right through your life and no goal or gesture is out of your reach this week.
But hot energy will soon cool, so do use it ASAP.
Putting yourself first in a priorities list may feel strange, but is long overdue.
A deal linked to your future can overcome delays when you stick to what you know, rather than what you’re told.
LEO
JULY 23 – AUG 23
Fitness power is exceptional as planets gather in your chart – and now you can set a solid schedule for change, and stick to it.
The less you feel like celebrating, the more you should attend a local event, as at least two key introductions could happen there.
Luck re-tries a contest with an update of facts or figures.
Love rewards can arrive in two distinct stages.
VIRGO
AUG 24 – SEPT 22
Trusting your own ideas has been a challenge lately, but now it’s over, and you face 2026 with a strong, sure sense of who you are and where you are headed.
But be prepared to deal with at least one tricky connection as the full moon’s influence is strong in this chart area.
Love that’s fun but still serious is waiting for you, when you decide to let one inner barrier fall.
LIBRA
SEPT 23 – OCT 23
It’s not too late to revise a list you’ve been working on for a while – and showing you can go with the flow is a key factor of your week.
In love, this makes the future more intriguing.
While at work, you can skip several stages of a selection process.
A gift for matching colours or styles to homes is ready to be revealed, so tune in to your creative self, and go for it.
SCORPIO
OCT 24 – NOV 22
A message that comes through late deserves an answer – and Mercury helps you draft this so well.
So do try not to over-think your response, just get started.
If you’re with a partner, making plans together, and really talking about the year ahead, can reveal two dreams that seem so different are really so alike.
If you’re single, just one “Y” question is all it takes.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 – DEC 21
Your cash instincts are the strongest they’ve been for months, so make sure you scan all sales and travel information as you can spot exceptional buys.
Extra time off work wakes up your sense of wanting more, and a full moon of transformation brings the energy you need to seek this for yourself.
Love is tethered in trust, think very carefully before you break this.
CAPRICORN
DEC 22 – JAN 20
Your own sign is the most abundant of the zodiac in positive attitudes and attributes this week – and a new role in a new place can be right there when you re-start a search.
Meanwhile, running a team, at work or at home, goes best when you do it your way, rather than copying anyone else.
Love is pure passion, find out more when you reply to a mystery invitation.
AQUARIUS
JAN 21 – FEB 18
You can be such a cool zodiac customer – but this week is all about emotions for you.
Instead of holding back, in love or at work, be ready to reveal how you really feel, and why you want change to happen.
This can clear space in your heart for new starts and new clarity.
Health promises need to be taken seriously, so only make them if you know you intend to keep them.
PISCES
FEB 19 – MAR 20
When friends or family pool cash, knowledge or experience, a future barrier can fall, and you face 2026 with a fresh sense of your own potential.
So if you don’t get the chance to share this week, create it for yourself.
If you’re in love, music from the past can play you into a shared promise.
Single? The One is already in a payment queue when you join it.
