Horoscope today, August 23, 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

A personal moon and Jupiter’s word power can send some surprise prizes your way – starting with another chance to say your piece to a special team or panel.

In love terms too you are calm and able to concentrate, despite distractions – so you identify the gaps in a couple’s day.

Single? The One loves live music events.

TAURUS

April 21 to May 21

You are a marvellous mix of vivid imagination and brave choices today, especially linked to cash.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to seal a deal or make an offer, this could be it.

You have a skill for working with love as it could be, rather than as it is. This frees you from a self-made emotional stalemate

GEMINI

May 22 to June 21

Gathering friends around you, in any way that works for you, will set the tone for a day of togetherness.

Clinging to past mistakes ends as you show a group a new way of connecting.

This can be at work, and the role that awaits you is a rewarding one, or at home, where you can draw a line and turn a shared page.

CANCER

June 22 to July 22

It may not be easy to hold back your more extravagant spending ideas, but with Mercury’s help you can do it.

Maybe you want to use money to help others, but do work out a proper plan first, and delay any decision if it seems wise to.

As for love, even when words seem cool, the hottest connection is there.

LEO

July 23 to August 23

Venus and Mars square up and you could feel a clash between the lover you are and the lover you long to be.

But both these sides of you are equally precious to a partner. If you are single, don’t ignore the way your heart leaps when you first see a new work face.

The luck factor is strongest in places close to water.

VIRGO

August 24 to September 22

You, just as you are, are your own strongest star protection today – so if you need to stand up for what you want, you can do it.

Just don’t be tempted to try to be someone else. If you’re in love, the moon is full of signals – and the eyes say so much.

If you’re single, the same applies – and you can draw “T” closer to you.
