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
You know yourself better than anyone else does, as planets of warmth and connection muster in your chart.
So do follow your own star, make your own choices this festive week.
Love that answers every question in your heart is there for the taking – if you dial down Aries haste and take things slow and steady.
Gifts of tickets and a new set of study goals are also on your horizon.
TAURUS
APR 21 – MAY 21
Ready to break barriers that may have lasted months, even years?
This can be your week, with a chart of limitless Christmas potential.
But do stop trying to please everyone and focus on yourself now.
The moon is strong on secrets, helping you recognise why you feel the way you do about someone technically out of bounds.
A candlelight chat can bring clarity.
GEMINI
MAY 22 – JUNE 21
Transformation is your theme in Christmas week – in everything from the style of your clothes to the power of your words.
Your time to express yourself fully, and freely, has arrived.
If you’re in love, the deeper feelings are, the more challenges can arise, but you can deal with this.
Single? A Capricorn who says very little can still be the one to talk straight to your heart.
CANCER
JUNE 22 – JULY 22
Deals, decisions and unexpected connections shape your week into something so special.
Your task is to stay open to all options, instead of sticking to what feels safe, or familiar.
A contract that’s been delayed can push forward when you let lingering regrets go.
While love is a Christmas buffet of new ideas and identities.
Neptune’s input draws you towards the healing world.
LEO
JULY 23 – AUG 23
A career step that seems out of reach can overnight be right there for you – so be ready to react with your usual Leo enthusiasm.
This can include a second chance to try for a role you missed before, do keep pride out of your considerations.
Helping others in a health sense can be the key to boosting your own wellbeing.
Luck links to a Secret Santa choice.
VIRGO
AUG 24 – SEPT 22
Your creative abilities are on fire as planets pile into your self-expression sector.
You can work out exactly where a love-bond, or a work team, needs more, and supply it straight away.
If you’re single, a match with a rebel artist or musician may seem unlikely, but can totally change your Christmas, and your future.
Jupiter luck circles an overdue reunion.
LIBRA
SEPT 23 – OCT 23
Deciding to make your own security blanket is a sign of strength this week, backed up by power planets.
You may need to pay closer attention to financial figures, or practical facts, than usual – and really commit to certain changes.
But the long-term gains can be great.
Your personal brand is Mercury-bright and the right people are saying the right things about you.
SCORPIO
OCT 24 – NOV 22
Any dreams of writing or speaking to an audience are in the planet spotlight this week.
A surprise celebration invite can be the key.
In love terms, trying to be more transparent in how you feel, what you want, can end couple confusion.
Single? However tempted you are to re-try a previous tryst, deep down you do know why it failed.
Something better links to a music gift.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 – DEC 21
You are the money champion of the zodiac for the next few weeks – and the one others look to to lead wise cash choices.
This carries responsibility, but you are ready for it.
Not everyone may like everything you do and say, but stick to your plans.
In a family, remember love may feel fun, but does still need thoughtful work — freely gift praise or encouragement.
CAPRICORN
DEC 22 – JAN 20
This really is your festive time to shine – in ways you may find unexpected.
So stay alert to offers and interests that fall right outside your comfort zone.
Capricorn kindness is legendary, but this Christmas week, do accept favours from others, in all aspects of your life.
As self-sufficiency eases off, you can let so much happiness into your heart.
Luck links to recent newlyweds.
AQUARIUS
JAN 21 – FEB 18
Your own past can be your pressing subject of study this week – as you look back and now see so clearly where you may have taken a wrong direction.
It’s not too late, or too hard, to fix this, now you have extra planet support.
Your Christmas plans could start to look totally different.
Love can mean more the less is said, so do focus on touch and tenderness.
PISCES
FEB 19 – MAR 20
Looking at your social circle, and making some smart changes, can transform your Christmas confidence.
Stepping away from one – or more than one – voice that always drags you down, brings freedom back, plus a surge of self-esteem.
Meanwhile Neptune makes your ability to give, and receive, passion even more generous, and your love-life is the clear winner.
