Horoscope today, August 26, 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

There’s a loosening of shyness happening in your chart, which inspires you with courage to say what’s on your mind.

This could stir up a situation at work, but stay calm and clear, because you know you have important points.

Love-wise, it may feel hard work to stay connected, but it will be well worth the effort.

TAURUS

April 21 to May 21

Feelings run high where secrets are sensed, and if you feel someone close has changed, try to address this sooner rather than later.

You may feel hiding things brings protection, but it could weaken a bond.

If you’re single, someone who seems such an enigma can be longing for you to make a move.

Luck draws a red line.

May 22 to June 21

A moon puts your needs higher up your priority list and a family could adapt faster than you expect.

Staking a claim on time or cash for yourself can be a positive step forward.

If you’re in love, take time to notice little things that matter.

If you’re single, a name linked to building or design can be The One.

CANCER

June 22 to July 22

Accepting that you may not always completely know your own mind is the first step toward change, and the moon and Pluto make this a possibility.

Listen and learn before you say anything – especially in any formal setting.

In love terms, too, if you can live without a big decision just yet, enjoy the moment.
