OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died in March 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

Instead of sticking with a health path that’s become too complicated, the Mars element in your chart challenges you to work out a new way forward.

By tonight, you can be fixed on a goal that feels a much better fit.

Sunshine colours, sunflower patterns and eyes that light up to see you, can all be key love factors.

♉ TAURUS

April 21 to May 21

If you wake up with a desire for change, this is the transformation moon’s effect – and it will wear off over the day, so use it or lose it.

Try bolder colours of clothes, go out when you’d usually stay in – even small changes can have big effects.

A love lesson hasn’t been easy, but it’s time to reap the rewards.

A love or life goal can return, this time with an unlikely ally.

June 22 to July 22

Building a business may feel far from your comfort zone – but you have an idea you can’t seem to shake from your mind or memory.

♌ LEO

July 23 to August 23

Maybe cash-saving ideas are unusual – but you have the kind of planet mind power that can make them work.

So don’t write anything off until you’ve really thought it through, free from less open-minded views.

Romantically, this is a day to turn deep Leo wishes into words, and ideas into actions.

August 24 to September 22

♎ LIBRA

September 23 to October 23

There are parts of yourself you’ve kept hidden away that can now return to the light.

In love, this can link to not saying or doing what you really want to, because you’re not sure how a partner would react.

But true passion can’t be built on a fake foundation.

Single? A film set or photo shoot can be your love location.

♏ SCORPIO

October 24 to November 22

This is a day to settle debts – in cash terms, maybe by talking about money more openly.

But also emotionally – if you feel too much love-work has fallen to you, you can say so, and set up a fairer system.

If you start the day single, joining an activity-based event at the last minute can be ready, set, love.
