Weekly horoscope for December 22 – December 28: What the stars have in store for every zodiac sign revealed

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

A quiet chart doesn’t mean a quiet Christmas! 

You have a selection box of love choices that are all delicious, but your heart could most savour the least likely. 

Enjoy!  As Jupiter and Saturn square up, a summer promise can come back to challenge you, but in some exciting ways. 

While the sun sees business potential in a hand-made gift. 

Luck chooses multiples of 6.

TAURUS

APR 21 – MAY 21

The chance to go further, and learn more, is just one star factor of your festive week. 

Casual talk about a travel goal can get suddenly serious, so do review your cash situation in advance. 

A loan, of funds or friendship, you may have assumed one way can be returned, with interest.  And a passion pattern based on solo leadership gets the chance to try a more two-way track.

GEMINI

MAY 22 – JUNE 21

As Jupiter, so generous in your own sign right now, squares up to tough love planet Saturn, you have some decisions to make about how far you will take a personal ambition. 

An event where strangers sing together can be a key factor.

In love?  A circular gift can come right back around – to you. 

Single?  A festive traveller can be the Gemini love gift that keeps on giving. 

CANCER

JUNE 22 – JULY 22

Sun power in your commitment chart firms up promises at home and out in the world – at last you can be sure where you stand. 

The real surprise may be how this makes you feel. 

Taking a travel or study dream forward can mean breaking with family or love traditions, but you will know when this feels right, and how to manage it. 

Luck opens a tinselled door.  

LEO

JULY 23 – AUG 23

Taking charge of health can mean saying no to certain practices or people.

Even in this week of over-indulgence, your chart supplies this strength, but it’s up to you to use it. 

As Jupiter and Saturn clash for the second time this year, tying up love loose ends is important, even if it feels easier to leave them hanging.

Music that always hits your heart signals a date decision. 

VIRGO

AUG 24 – SEPT 22

Being in tune with the moon starts your week on a softer note – and you are ready to forgive and forget. 

It’s not too late to re-set a guest list or a menu choice.

Sun energy is strongest around music and laughter, and the person who always brings this, is worth a second love look.

Ambitious deals are good, but achievable deals are better.

The luck factor chooses dark red.

LIBRA

SEPT 23 – OCT 23

Venus spells romances while Pluto pushes unexpected chances – both these factors can collide in a new face at a regular gathering. 

If you’re in love, a game of actions can reveal some intense emotions – on both sides. 

Jupiter and Saturn’s cross-chart challenge can clear the air between opposing opinions, so a plan can re-start. 

The most extravagantly decorated home you know can also be the luckiest for you.  

SCORPIO

OCT 24 – NOV 22

Maybe you’re ready to offer a new start to a friend or family member – but is this for the right reasons? 

Power, or money, is not among them, so do think carefully. 

A well-travelled couple can be your link to luck, especially when you share numbers. 

The love quota in your chart starts high and just gets higher – when a familiar door opens to reveal a hot new face. 

SAGITTARIUS

NOV 23 – DEC 21

The value of feelings matters more than the value of things this week, and this can keep a couple or family closer when you remember it.

A plan to move home, or maybe work, addresses around, can stumble as Jupiter and Saturn square up.  But this is a test, and by staying strong you can sail through.

A catchphrase that keeps replaying in your head can lead you to luck.

CAPRICORN

DEC 22 – JAN 20

When you need to call on reserves of strength of energy, the sun is there to provide – but it’s important not to waste this on people or projects that don’t deserve it. 

Stay alert to the difference between passion and pressure. 

What you say this week, more than ever, needs to match what you do – or love time could run out. 

Lucky food looks the same – but tastes different. 

AQUARIUS

JAN 21 – FEB 18

Repeating the same cash process and expecting a different outcome is not your style –Jupiter and Saturn may be at odds in your chart but still both want the best outcome for you. 

This can mean a sudden switch of direction but you’ll cope well. 

You are the zodiac love-star and shine even brighter by candlelight or firelight. 

Partners are ready to put each other first.

PISCES

FEB 19 – MAR 20

Your own sign may falter but won’t fall, as the second Saturn and Jupiter square of the year focuses on Pisces. 

You can claim, or reclaim, your rightful place in a group or family, and feel the benefits. 

As for passion, a secrecy element may tease and  tantalise – but beware of letting this cloud your future judgement. 

A meaningful message can come from a cracker.
