Horoscope today, August 17, 2024: Daily star sign guide from Mystic Meg

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

The off-beat influence of Uranus throws up money-making ideas – and yet you can see yourself in the middle of them.

Trust your own judgment first, in every decision.

If you’re in love, and you worry all the work you put in is for nothing, prepare to be surprised today.

Single? A Saturday job can hold the love answer.

TAURUS

April 21 to May 21

However hurt you may have been in a friend or family member, Neptune encourages forgiveness today – as long as you can be clear this is the very last time.

When you speak from the heart – and mean it – you can be heard.

Late tonight, Pluto brings a news report that can impact on your life, in some positive ways.

GEMINI

May 22 to June 21

The more unusual and off-the-wall a dream may be, the greater its chance of going somewhere – according to the wisdom of maverick Uranus.

Today, you can expect some deep, even dark, personal secrets to surface, and you will deal with these so well.

“M” names of people and places can top your luck chart.

CANCER

June 22 to July 22

A group that has always felt out of your comfort zone – in style or substance – starts to seem a perfect fit today.

Letting your wilder, more outrageous side show has never been easier.

But if you’re with a partner, do take some time to settle a love-trust-time issue, for good.

Single? The One never stops talking!

LEO

July 23 to August 23

Your day builds towards a deep passion conversation tonight, when two people reveal how they truly feel.

This can be a couple – but also two very different aspects of your own personality.

At last, you can find a way to make the most of both of these.

But be honest.

The luck factor wakes you up with a set of numbers.
