Horoscope today, August 9, 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 strong Mars energy in your chart today, focused on communication.
This can be your moment to try again to get some important words across, and stick with a conversation until it happens.
But you can also talk honestly to yourself, and call a halt to any behaviour you know does not chime with who you are.
TAURUS
April 21 to May 21
The Saturn influence seems to keep relationships static today, when you just want to move forward.
But if friends or family are hesitant, this may mean you have more work to do to persuade them. This can happen by tonight.
Jupiter sparkles in your cash zone, and this can bring forgotten money streams back into focus.

Instead of storing away ideas, you can get them out there.
And at work, the one person you assume will dismiss your dreams can turn out to be your best supporter.
Love hides big feelings in routine gestures, so stay alert.

If you start off the day single, a smart self-made business person can change this.

The luck factor calls at a brand-new glass door.
