Weekly horoscope for April 6 – April 12: 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

Slowly, a whole new Neptune sense of self is spreading through your mind – accelerated by the positive-power direction of Mercury this week.

Whatever outlook you choose, make it big, bold, and brilliant.

You can achieve so much when you set your mind to it, but do also pay attention to details.

Love-wise, with Venus still in retrograde, anything can happen, especially around “P”.

TAURUS

APR 21 – MAY 21

Maybe you’ve slipped into spending time with people or in places you sense are not quite right for you.

As Mercury spins direct, you can see a way out, but you also find ways to work with what you’ve learned.

If you’re in love, it’s important to find time to really talk and make sure two hearts agree on a date or a decision.

If you’re single, a celebrity circle can be a love starting point.

GEMINI

MAY 22 – JUNE 21

Work, or just life ambitions that have felt vague, can clarify by the end of this week – as Mercury maps out the best next step.

It may not be what you expect, but trust yourself to keep moving forward.

Not looking back is your love secret too, as your chart suggests memories and past mistakes may be limiting future happiness.

Set yourself free to love exactly as you are.

CANCER

JUNE 22 – JULY 22

Communication genius Mercury has just tapped into your learning sector and now spins direct again.

Any knots in understanding or studying can unravel overnight, so be ready for this.

If your brain has put the brakes on a very clear passion path your body wants to take, this too can end.

You have a forward-facing travel chart, plus a new heart-deep level of Neptune sensitivity.

LEO

JULY 23 – AUG 23

A transformation has been a long time coming, but this week’s planetary about-turns place you back in charge of your own destiny.

What you do next can surprise the world, yet inside you will sense it’s the perfect move for the real you.

Passion is not something that can be caged – it must fly free to satisfy you.

If you’re single, the moon sparks attraction for a fellow Leo.

VIRGO

AUG 24 – SEPT 22

Letting yourself be softer, in love and life, opens up new emotional paths this week.

You may offer a second chance or reconsider a cash or business team decision.

You see that a too-tough line can sometimes keep the right people on the wrong side.

A TV show or movie linked to the sea can have a deep connection to your future.

Luck arranges a set of numbers in order of size.

LIBRA

SEPT 23 – OCT 23

You can wake up any day this week with a sudden career breakthrough so bright in your mind – thanks to the new positive push of planet Mercury.

You believe in yourself and your ability to turn the right ideas into the best words – even against the clock.

If you’re in love, the moon guides a casual bond towards ultimate commitment.

If you’re single, “The One” wears silver.

SCORPIO

OCT 24 – NOV 22

Virgo

24 August – 22 September
Letting yourself be softer, in love and life, opens up new emotional paths this week. You may offer a second chance or reconsider a cash or business team decision. You see that a too-tough line can sometimes keep the right people on the wrong side. A TV show or movie linked to the sea can have a deep connection to your future. Luck arranges a set of numbers in order of size.

Destiny Days: If you need to toughen up talking – maybe with yourself – choose Monday or Wednesday. Saturday sets up a call in a million.
Lucky Links: A family with a “D” name or address; a familiar tune in a totally new setting; hand-drawn flowers, lines, letters, and arrows. Wear pale green, lilac, and grey to feel connected to the world and to your personal goals.
Mercury Motivate!: The mind planet flips forward again and takes you along for the ride. Your key area of fresh focus is deals, decisions, and all kinds of relationships in your life. Instead of just leaving them to tick over, you are pro-active and professional, sussing out where any weak spots may be and fixing them fast. You make a calm, clever negotiator now, no matter what’s happened before.

Libra

23 September – 23 October
You can wake up any day this week with a sudden career breakthrough so bright in your mind – thanks to the new positive push of planet Mercury. You believe in yourself and your ability to turn the right ideas into the best words – even against the clock. If you’re in love, the moon guides a casual bond towards ultimate commitment. If you’re single, “The One” wears silver.

Destiny Days: Days that include the letter “S” can be your star moments to see and seize unexpected chances, so be alert! An apology you’ve stopped hoping for could come on Friday.
Lucky Links: Unusual music or art recommended by a friend; a food you always loved as a child; contests that include a countdown. Muted pastel colours work well for you, but avoid fluorescent shades.
Mercury Motivate!: What work means to you, and how big a place you give it in your life, is the key theme of Mercury’s exit from retrograde. What has seemed a very tough choice between two or more options is suddenly so clear and simple to start. You also have strong fitness motivation and can clear a slate and start again from day one of a transformation challenge.

Scorpio

24 October – 22 November
You may assume Neptune will weaken willpower, but the opposite can be true.

The dreamy planet helps you see into the future and pinpoint a distant goal.

Suddenly, you can be halfway there. Mercury’s switch to full speed ahead sharpens romance skills – laughter is a great aphrodisiac all week for Scorpio couples.

If you’re single, say yes to an Aquarius early-riser. Luck circles “33”.

SAGITTARIUS

NOV 23 – DEC 21

Your sense of inner security is strengthened by your chart’s plus points – whatever life brings this week, you can tackle it and triumph.

In love terms, Venus’ last week in retrograde comes with challenges, but they’re the kind you adore as they ask you to be better and go further.

At work, take note of unusual ideas bubbling under – Uranus is active behind the scenes, ready to impress.

CAPRICORN

DEC 22 – JAN 20

The right home for your heart can already be in your life – from a share in a key address to sudden new closeness with a long-time acquaintance.

Your role in your own happiness is to let your heart lead you.

Planet Mars’ fire is a marriage marker, and hot words can be a total surprise.

A mystical moon enhances your ability to sense what others need – there can be a career path here.

AQUARIUS

JAN 21 – FEB 18

Cash that’s felt hard to hang on to can be on the way back as your money mind clears.

You can see change demands effort, but it’s the positive kind with long-term payback.

An unusual legacy can also have your name attached – this can be money, but also talent or time.

As for love, Venus’ last retrograde week stirs up questions on what and who you truly value.

PISCES

FEB 19 – MAR 20

Stop, look, listen – then take that step.

Your personal sign hosts the most positive mental planet switch this week, but also the biggest emotional challenges.

You may not be sure an action is 100% right but can still make it, as your instincts are so sharp.

Don’t run away from strong love words – you have the ability and the right to respond.

A smiling Taurus is a top passion pick.
