OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died last year but her column will be kept alive by her friend and protégée Maggie Innes.
ARIES
MAR 21 – APR 20
Everything that makes up the heart of your homelife gets the Mars treatment this week – as your warrior ruler steps back into your fourth house for a few months.
So take the cue and get started, or finish, at least three family projects.
In love terms, you’re even more ready to stand up for yourself, but first make sure what you think you know, is actually true.
TAURUS
APR 21 – MAY 21
12
Mercury takes charge of your learning sector, and information that may have been hard to handle can start to seem much clearer.
Taking things slow, and accepting advice or experience of others, are your golden rules.
If you’re single, the Venus effect is strong where friends meet unexpectedly and all share something special.
Coupled-up Taurus is coming so close to a lifetime change.
The luck factor spins North.
GEMINI
MAY 22 – JUNE 21
12
Purse strings you may have struggled to control to can fly free as Mars gets involved – this can be your prompt to clear away financial clutter and get to the crux of what’s holding you back.
If you’ve been blaming other people, it may be time to shine a zodiac light on yourself.
The moon selects an emotional goal early in the week, and can see it fulfilled by Friday.
CANCER
JUNE 22 – JULY 22
12
Receiving Mars back into your own sign makes for a welcome, but demanding, new outlook this week.
This suggests there are personal things you have dropped rather than delivered – and it’s time to tackle these now.
If you’re in love, weddings and educational locations can make a magical mix.
If you’re single, the more you learn about a clever Aquarius, the more you like them.
LEO
JULY 23 – AUG 23
12
The moon encourages true intimacy, the kind that finds revelations awkward at times, but just keeps on going.
This can be a surprise to your usual larger-than-life self, but it’s one that changes you profoundly – as skin-deep is no longer enough for you.
Your work chart is Mercury-smart, you just have to glimpse a new role to know it’s perfect for you.
Plus exactly how to claim it.
VIRGO
AUG 24 – SEPT 22
12
Getting numbers into line, and a cash agreement sorted, is a golden sideline of your current Venus chart.
This is not a time to settle for so-so – as only the right future will sit well with you.
Mars stirs up strong feelings behind the social scene, and you could review ties with one or more contacts who have taken things too far.
Lucky links work better second time around.
LIBRA
SEPT 23 – OCT 23
12
The next few weeks find you digging deeper into what you really, truly want – and it may not be what you now have.
Mars quits people-pleasing to take a more independent upwards path, and so should you.
But first, do be brave enough to explain your thinking to someone close.
The family member who most loves to learn new things, can be your luckiest link, all week long.

SCORPIO
OCT 24 – NOV 22
12
Your Mercury-driven connections chart makes it easier for you to review and renew contacts that have faded in the last few months.
Together, you can find the strength you may feel you lack alone.
But it’s crucial to make your own map, avoid copy-catting someone else’s.
Sensing when to give advice, when just to offer support, is your star work skill.
This takes you faster up a priority list.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 – DEC 21
12
No sign is better than you at sussing out what makes you tick, and how to sustain this.
Plus this week, you can over-ride your natural zodiac element of impulsiveness and make a measured, long-time plan.
Planets will support you, but the real work is down to you.
Where and how money fits into love is a key question – but you may need to accept a partial answer.
CAPRICORN
DEC 22 – JAN 20
12
You can take established groups by storm all week, but do think twice before you act, especially if a couple is the focus.
Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is to walk away.
You have the sunshine, and the Mercury smart sense, to be the best version of yourself for months, and “L” is waiting for this moment.
Plan for the worst in cash, but expect the best.
AQUARIUS
JAN 21 – FEB 18
12
Your chart shows a clear path towards working for yourself for a while, and leaving a group ambition on ice.
You know you have given too much to others’ goals, now it’s time to prioritise your own.
Someone who always greets you every morning can have some surprise news bubbling under.
Love and money can work together, but only if you keep them completely separate!
Luck wears tangerine.
PISCES
FEB 19 – MAR 20
12
You can leave your serious self at the door for a while and simply enjoy being with people you love and respect.
Safe in the knowledge you have absolutely nothing to prove.
But at work, a more easy-going approach may only scratch the surface, you need all the details before you can dive deeper.
Wearing two hats, or playing dual roles, come easily, as Neptune intensifies inner mind-reading qualities.
