OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died last year 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

March 21 to April 20

Neptune’s influence on you has been slow and steady but now intensifies. So if you feel unexpected emotions rising up, pay attention – they can be telling you something important.

Work-wise, you have smart public speaking ability.

If you haven’t tested this yet, now is a great time to start.

♉ TAURUS

April 21 to May 21

All the off-beat ideas and innovations of planet Uranus are at work.

This time round, even when your plans seem out of the ordinary, you can stand by them and push forward.

In love terms, this can lead to a sense of shared freedom for a couple.

If you’re single, The One starts to cool but hides inner heat.

♊ GEMINI

♋ CANCER

June 22 to July 22

Love transformation is your star theme – just one small change in your attitude can be enough to swing a passion decision your way.

But this change must come from you – don’t let anyone else make the decision.

It’s in your nature to dwell about what could go wrong in love – just focus on what feels right.

♌ LEO

July 23 to August 23

The most sensitive of planets is affecting your chart and you could feel vulnerable as a result – but this is good for love, as it can break a barrier between a couple that’s been getting bigger lately.

If you’re single, you recognise what you really need, rather than what you may think you want.

Luck wears apricot.

September 23 to October 23

Independence planet Uranus draws you towards styles and plans that take you out on a limb – expressing ideas no one else cares.

If one secret fact or feeling has stuck in your mind, this is a signal that it’s time to deal with it.
