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
Pluto is not in the mood to indulge you – you may need to work extra-hard towards your ambitions but the results can be worthwhile.
Only you can decide exactly how much you want to give to a dream.
Love may feel difficult to pin down, but all the feelings are there – a partner is waiting for you to let yourself see that.

TAURUS
April 21 to May 21
So much talking but so little action in key relationships and you are ready to address this.
Wipe the slate clean and start again, with a clear set of goals this time, and something will shift and the future start to show itself.
Your cash chart has Jupiter-tinged luck but you do also need to pay attention.
GEMINI
The soundtrack of your life is a song you can’t seem to get out of your head – because it holds a special meaning for your heart.
Bringing these two aspects together can end a time of uncertainty and open your destiny door.
A moon of understanding, rather than critic-ism, is your family guardian.
CANCER
June 22 to July 22
However much you may want to give in to demands, Mars stands firm. At work, this shows the leadership skills you need to make a large leap upwards – just beware of strong becoming stubborn.
At home, there’s a third way that better meets your needs. In love, partners have time, so don’t be rushed.

August 24 to September 22
Daydreams that seem real could be just that when you adjust the way you value your own skills and time.
What you have to give is precious and deserves to be rated that way.
Pluto’s impatience pushes through in your prize zone and could make you push a button in haste. Count to ten before you act.

LIBRA
September 23 to October 23
Address any doubts about how loyal a bond may be – never doubt you have the strength to do this and come through smiling.
There’s strong Mars ambition in your chart but this could dilute your energy over too many goals, so take time to select the right three. Passion wakes up with something to say.

List of 12 star signs
The traditional dates used by Mystic Meg for each sign are below.
Don’t let enticing new offers distract you from a path you’re already halfway along – it will be worth your while to see this through to the end. Other plans can wait a while.
You have some shrewd Mercury planning skills and putting these to work, preferably in writing, can help you see a bright future.
Intuition in contests is powerful as Jupiter and the moon travel in tandem, so mix natural luck with natural insight and get one step ahead.
As for love, with such a secrets-centred Venus chart it’s easy to “forget” to share some important info with a partner. Fight this and try to keep nothing back.
Passion-wise, the friends zone feels safe, but it’s not satisfying enough[/caption]
AQUARIUS
January 21 to February 18
It’s not always easy for you to express or explain your feelings, but the key is to keep trying as people who care for you will go the extra mile to meet you half way.
A friend’s love life contains a valuable lesson for you, if you let yourself see it.
The luck factor is strongest when you decide to do your own research.
A job with a lot of travelling is on offer and this will need careful thought.
Remember, wherever you go, your thoughts and mem-ories go with you.
If you need to clarify certain facts, this is your moment. Confidence to sing or speak in public is building in private, and it can burst out by tonight.

7 hours agoNew York StateComments Off on Two more Big Brother romances ‘revealed’ after Nathan and Rose as Lily ‘makes a move’
THE BIG Brother house is heating up – with two more romances blossoming after Nathan and Rose became the first couple.
The latest love twist involves youngest housemate Lily who was spotted in her co-star’s bed at the end of Wednesday’s episode.
Romance has already blossomed between Rosie and Nathan[/caption]
The new romances haven’t gone unnoticed by bosses either, with presenter Will Best discussing love brewing in the house on Late & Live.
While reflecting on the “happier” mood inside the house, after days of rows, the host told the audience tonight: “Lily and Tom at the end of the episode definitely seemed to be ‘happier’ together.
“Do we think she specifically fancies Tom? She did say at the start, day two, that he was good looking.”
Will revealed the second potential romance, and continued: “Another pair we should be keeping an eye on, we touched on it before, Segun and Hanah.
“From the get go they have been quite flirty and appear to be a good match.”
She said: “They are very compatible with each other, they are so easy with each other, so harmonious.”
Nathan and Baked Potato were the first to reveal strong feelings for each other and have been grabbing private moments together to snog.
Sceptical viewers have said accused the pair of faking their feelings and having a “showmance” for more airtime.
But Big Brother’s Yinrun defended Rosie aka Baked Potato and Nathan’s romance saying it is the real deal.
But Yinrun, who appeared on the ITV2 fly-on-the-wall reality series last year, have revealed why she thinks their romance is “authentic” after spotting a big clue.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Yinrun said: “I’ve given them a name Natato – I think it’s genuine and I wish it is. I want to see the love in the house.
“I can tell from the way they look at each other and each other’s eyes, they can’t help but kiss each other.
“I think it’s love. I’m happy to see more about it. They’re already thinking about parents, I think it will blossom outside because they’ll be under less pressure.
“And from family and friends, when they see that they have been through the Big Brother experience together, I think they will be more supportive to them as well.
“I think they will receive a lot good comments, I hope it will blossom.
“It was a shock at first, I didn’t see it coming, but everything makes sense, there’s a lot of hugging, they’re always together chatting to each other…the chemistry was already there.
“I thought it was only friendship at first, but apparently they have feelings for each other.
“I think it’s fair that people are sceptical, people have different opinions on relationships – whatever relationship, friendship or romance in the house, it’s a very complex scenario.
“But I think it’s authentic and real. I can’t wait to see how it will develop on the outside.”
Elsewhere, Yinrun thinks one housemate could be playing a game – and the person may surprise you.
Eagle-eyed Yinrun said she’s spotted a big change in Izaaz and thinks his “game-plan” may have backfired on him.
She told us: “I think everyone is playing a game, they’re in the Big Brother game, but if I had to pick one, I’d say Izazz.
“As a viewer, we’ve seen Izaaz change his personality a bit compared to now.
“Before he was a peacemaker and now he just wants to create chaos and doesn’t care, he wants people to be mad at each other.
“There’s definitely a switch there. He is being himself, but right now he’s probably in a different mindset now, compared to the first couple of days.
“He’s playing a different way to the way he is now.”
When asked if his game-plan has failed, Yinrun said: “I think it did based on the result, he’s up for eviction and been nominated the most.
“He got three votes and there must be a reason.
“I think he needs some time to digest it and I think he’s tired as well, with the lack of sleep, so bless him.
“I think he needs more time to sort himself out emotionally, and how he will deal with facing the eviction.
“He definitely needs some time for himself.”
She continued: “I’m really enjoying seeing his changes and he’s has a good character.”
While Yinrun thinks some of the housemates, including Emma, Dean and Nathan may be holding a grudge towards Izazz over the “bagel-gate”.
She added: “I think in the Big Brother house, one small issue can be a big problem.
“In real life, you’d put it in the fridge. But in the house, the bagel situation you can talk about it for days.
“I don’t think there is any big issue but I think they’ve seen that behaviour and gone ‘I’m not too sure now’.”
Yinrun said Nathan is being ‘genuine’[/caption]
But she think Izaaz may be playing a game in the house[/caption]
However, the underfire Dutchman remains optimistic about getting a good result.
Ten Hag has insisted that the fit members of the squad are “capable” of getting a result.
He added: “The players who are available have to do the job and they are capable of doing the job.
“I think we have enough players in the team that are so experienced. Our team is so experienced.
“We’ve faced such situations more often.
“I think we’re looking forward, I think it will be a great ambience that’s fuel for the team and it’s a real challenge, it’s a motivation, it’s really good for us.”

The PM is setting up a new UK Trade Centre of Expertise to unlock markets for UK business.
Sir Keir said: “We have an opportunity to turn around the lives of people in the UK. We can’t do that with a protectionist approach.”
He has also dismissed talk over Britain paying slave trade reparations.
The PM said: “In all the conversations I’ve had with them, what they’re most interested in is can we help them working with for example international institutions, financial institutions on the sorts of packages they need right now in relation to the challenges they’re facing right now.
“That’s where I’m going to put my focus rather than what will end up being very very long endless discussions about reparations on the past.
“This is about stance really, looking forward rather than looking backwards.
“Now of course slavery is abhorrent everybody – the trade and the practice, there’s no question about that.
“But I think from my point of view and taking the approach I’ve just taken, I’d rather roll up my sleeves and work with them on the current future-facing challenges than spend a lot of time on the past.

A TERRACED house with a garden and garage has hit the market for just £10 – but there’s a catch.
The property is located in the stunning Welsh Valleys in the quaint village of Tylorstown.
The terraced house up for auction for just £10[/caption]
Inside, scrap furniture is piled up high[/caption]
The gutted property is described by auctioneers as ‘open plan’[/caption]
But the tiny £10 guide price is explained by the house’s decrepit interior, with scrap furniture piled high and walls stripped of their plaster.
The house, which is barely more than skeleton, is generously described by auctioneers as “open plan”.
And while it won’t be for the faint-hearted, it could be the perfect fixer-upper for keen profit hunters.
The property boasts a forecourt, rear garden and garage and is near a host of cafes, shops and restaurants in the bustling town of Ferndale.
Sean Roper, who works for Paul Fosh Auctions, believes it has the potential to fit two or even three bedrooms once renovated.
He added that the property had been “stripped back ready for upgrading and improvement” – and that the right buyer will “transform” it into a “comfortable and generously sized” abode.
It is conveniently situation four miles from Porth train station and a 45-minute drive from Cardiff.
Those interested will need to move fast as the auction will only run for just over 48 hours – beginning on November 5 and closing on November 7 at 5pm.
But, much like the Tylorstown house, it was in dire need of a makeover, having been destroyed by a fire.
Meanwhile, prospective buyers this week spotted that an entire street was up for sale – including 12 terraced houses.
It didn’t come cheap, though – with starting bids set at an eye-watering £1.5 million.
Home shoppers have also been presented with a flurry of properties with quirky interior features – like a quaint cottage in Dover with its very own cave.
And a two-bed property in the West Midlands concealed a more unsettling secret – with a mountain of junk and abandoned belongings inside.
Inside UK’s ‘worst’ hoarder house
MUMMIFIED cats were found by cleaners who were sent to clean a house stuffed to the rafters.
In fact, the Lancashire house was so cluttered cleaners needed a ladder to climb through a second-storey window to reach the upper floor.
It took cleaners 45 hours to clean the house from all the rubbish, in a “worst-case” of hoarding they had ever seen, using dozens of skips.
The teams were tasked with clearing the home after the homeowner, a man in his 70s, had died.
Much of the house was jam-packed full of old phone equipment as the man wanted start a phone exchange business, which is where the hoarding began in the 1990s.
“Over the years he collected mounds of telecom technology. He began storing these telecom artifacts in containers.
“Then, when they were full he began filling under the floorboards,” a Blanchards spokesperson said.
The only space in the house was an armchair next to the cats, where the man spent all of his time.
The man had a hoarding disorder after analysis of the trash revealed he had been unable to throw anything away for upwards of three decades.

7 hours agoNew York StateComments Off on Billie Faiers under fire from Family Diaries viewers for filming distressing scenes of her dad before rehab
BILLIE Faiers has been blasted by fans for including distressing scenes of her alcoholic stepdad in her reality show.
The former TOWIE star, 34, was shown crying on the phone to Dave Chatwood while he was suffering from a drink-induced “psychosis” in the latest episode.

Billie’s stepdad, who she treats as her biological dad, was ‘suffering from psychosis’[/caption]
Dave – who Billie treats as her biological father – had discharged himself from hospital and was heard telling her he was being chased by “20 geezers” outside a supermarket.
During the call, Dave – aka Chatty – told Billie that onlookers were saying he was “a lunatic escaped from hospital”.
In the latest episode of Billie & Greg: The Family Diaries, Billie’s husband Greg Shepherd was seen driving the streets in search of his father-in-law.
Although his face was obscured from the camera, Dave was shown getting into the passenger seat of Greg’s car once found, still with hospital cannulas in his arms.
It later transpired he was in possession of a small bottle of wine.
But fans watching the ITVBe show on Wednesday night have argued that the scenes should have been kept private.
Writing on the programme’s official Facebook page, one viewer said: “Why would u record this. It’s your fathers private life, doesn’t need to be aired.”
Another added: “ABSOLUTELY shocking, how on earth do u think this is going to help him ,as a family u should educate urself about alcoholism and not let cameras film.”
A third agreed: “Why would you film this about your dad?”
And someone else chimed in: “God, fancy living your life on camera like this. It’s disgusting. Some things should be private.”
Others, however, felt differently.
“I think she’s actually really brave and real for sharing all of this. It raises awareness and some people might get help after seeing some of these situations,” one fan wrote.
Agreeing, another added: “I’m glad this is being played out on telly its the truth and reality of living with an alcoholic.”
Dave was previously married to Billie and her sister Sam Faiers‘ mum Suzie and they have always treated him as their dad.
The sisters’ violent biological father split from Suzie when they were toddlers.
The former TOWIE star, who used to star on The Mummy Diaries with Billie, told her fans on Instagram how proud the family was of him.

The latest episode of The Family Diaries explained the lead up to Dave rehab admission.
Billie explained her “black and blue” dad had spent a few days in hospital after falling over while drunk but had discharged himself.
In a desperate and tearful phone call to Greg, who was out looking for him, she said: “The nurse said he was very confused. She tried to stop him from leaving but he was getting very agitated.”
“She said she was worried as he is wandering around outside of hospital and is very confused.”
When Greg finally found Dave, he told his son-in-law that he didn’t want to return to hospital. Greg did, however, persuade him.
Billie later told the cameras: “I’ve never heard him like that.”
She then explained that addicts can suffer from psychosis when withdrawing from alcohol.
Greg told his wife: “He was completely hallucinating.”
Revealing Dave had been in possession of a bottle of wine, he added: “How have [shop staff] served him standing there with cannulas hanging out of his arm? He was telling me he’d been kidnapped.”
Later in the show, Dave was taken to a detox centre by his ex wife Suzie.
Billie explained that he could only check in to a rehab centre in Bournemouth, Dorset, once his alcohol levels in his blood had subsided.
At the end of Wednesday’s Family Diaries, viewers affected by the scenes were advised to visit the NHS Live Well website for help.
