Horoscope today, January 5, 2025: 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

Everything that makes up the heart of your home life gets the Mars treatment, as your warrior ruler steps back into your fourth house for a few months.

So get started on at least three family projects.

In love terms, you’re more ready to stand up for yourself, but first make sure what you think you know is true.

Your weekly horoscope for Sunday

♉ TAURUS

April 21 to May 21

Mercury takes charge of your learning sector, so information that may have been hard to handle can start to seem much clearer.

Taking things slowly and accepting advice from others are your golden rules.

Single? The Venus effect is strong where friends meet unexpectedly and share something special.

Purse strings you may have struggled to control can fly free as Mars gets involved – this can be your prompt to clear away financial clutter.

♋ CANCER

June 22 to July 22

Receiving Mars back into your sign makes for a welcome but demanding new outlook.

♌ LEO

July 23 to August 23

The moon encourages true intimacy, the kind that finds revelations awkward at times, but just keeps on going, and skin-deep is no longer enough for you.

Your work chart is Mercury-smart, you just have to take a glimpse of a new role to know it’s perfect for you and to figure out how to claim it.

♍ VIRGO

August 24 to September 22

Getting numbers into line and a cash agreement sorted is a golden sideline of your Venus chart.

This is not a time to settle for so-so, as only the right future will sit well with you.

Mars stirs up strong feelings behind the social scene, and you could review ties with one or more contacts who have taken things too far.

♎ LIBRA

September 23 to October 23

The next few weeks find you digging deeper into what you want. Mars quits people-pleasing to take an independent path, and so should you.

But first, do be brave enough to explain your thinking to someone close.

The family member who most loves to learn new things can be your luckiest link all week long.
