Weekly horoscope for April 21 – April 27: What the stars have in store

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

The deep transforming fullness of the moon concentrates on your chart, and you may be feeling you need more love,  trust – and joy. 

This is the week you start to find it all. 

You’re more open in so many ways, willing to offer, but also expect, deeper and more meaningful bonds. 

If you’re single, this can connect you back to someone with a strong sense of right and wrong.

TAURUS

APR 21 – MAY 21

12

Your time in the sun is always something to celebrate, and this week the moon adds an element of mystery to your warm attraction power. 

All kinds of admirers gather round, but your perfect match stands out from the first “hello”. 

This love may not be simple, but it’s so compelling.

Mars builds inner courage to speak out to an audience – whether one in person, or many online.

GEMINI

MAY 22 – JUNE 21

12

This is a week for teamwork and shared goals. 

Venus underlines mutual patience and respect as the key to partners finding a passion answer, while the end of Mercury’s retrograde revamps established rules — in a community, couple or work group. 

A full moon of health revelations helps you face the truth about where you should go next on a fitness path, and simply start making it happen. 

New love talks softly.

CANCER

JUNE 22 – JULY 22

12

With the sun in your friendship zone, seize any chance to reach out to individuals you’d like to know better. 

Keep it casual, even if you sense there could be deep love there.

This is also a key week for reconnection, or closure, from names that have faded from your life. 

As Mercury spins direct, your imagination is wild, but at least one idea has sound business potential.

LEO

JULY 23 – AUG 23

12

Letting a family situation run out of control, is not your Leo style – this is a week of positive communication potential, for you to step in. 

Stay aware of everyone’s very different needs, but do also give equal weight to your own. 

In love?  Forward-facing Mercury links new promises to making a repeat journey together. 

If you’re single, the last name on a passenger list can be The One. 

VIRGO

AUG 24 – SEPT 22

12

You could find yourself revealing some unexpected information this week, as full moon truth-telling spreads through your chart. But this can be such a positive move, as it lets other people in. 

Trust your first answer in any quiz or interview question, try not to over-think. 

In passion, perfection is good, but happiness is better. 

Deep down you do know this is a choice you need to make.

LIBRA

SEPT 23 – OCT 23

12

Challenges in your cash-based chart are not unusual – what’s different this week is how you deal with them. 

Your instincts are on fire, and instead of constantly moving on, you are ready to stick with plans and see them through. 

The sun warms deepest feelings, and someone you met on a trip is thinking of you so fondly. 

In a relationship? You already know the answer to a question.

SCORPIO

OCT 24 – NOV 22

12

A personal full moon is your green light to love on a whole new level – so if you’ve been holding back in any way, this week you can let go. 

If you’re single,  this opens up your heart to someone who seems completely wrong on paper.  And yet, in person… beyond perfect. 

Saturn’s ability to keep going, no matter what, makes the supportive planet your key creative and romantic coach.

SAGITTARIUS

NOV 23 – DEC 21

12

As a sign, you do often hesitate to go deeper –  but this week, the full moon gives you no choice. 

Your chart is alive with dreams, memories and feelings, bringing your secret self to the surface. 

The biggest surprise is now natural this can feel. 

If you’re coupled-up, Mercury reminds you clinging to the past leaves no space for the future. 

Single?  A sporty Aries leads the field.

CAPRICORN

DEC 22 – JAN 20

12

Realising you’d like to be part of a local project, or community group, can be step one on a new future path. 

So instead of assuming you won’t be a good fit, simply believe you will. 

You have an enigmatic full moon element in your chart that gives you “that special something” bosses, cameras, stars and audiences are seeking. 

In love, staying in together can coax out sensual secrets.  

AQUARIUS

JAN 21 – FEB 18

12

Breaking down ambitions into bite-size chunks is the key move in making them happen. 

So instead of letting your mind sweep off into the future, simply focus on what you need to do, by the end of this week, to succeed. 

The answer can be a surprise. 

It’s easy to be a passive passenger in love, but Mars expects you to take the wheel, start driving through changes that count. 

PISCES

FEB 19 – MAR 20

12

Get ready for a week of adventure and action – as the full moon unlocks fresh levels of Pisces potential. 

New activities and new faces are all around, yet one feels instantly familiar. 

This can be the soulmate you’ve been waiting for. 

As Mercury exits retrograde, it’s not enough to make a cash promise, even to yourself – you must keep it. 

The luck factor flags one or more “6” dates.
