Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died in 2023 but her column is being 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 The emotional pull of the moon may try to water down ambitions, so you'll need to stand up for what you most care about. This helps you turn full focus back on what you truly believe, and many doubts disappear. Strong passion power helps you say what you need to say, do what you know is right – and love grows. 3 Your daily horoscope for Thursday ♉ TAURUS April 21 to May 21 Your chart of learning and moving forward may be less predictable than you'd like, but keeping you on alert could help you succeed.

Get all the latest Virgo horoscope news including your weekly and monthly predictions 3 When you are really honest with yourself, the results can surprise you Credit: Getty ♎ LIBRA September 23 to October 23 Family questions hit close to home and could bring up subjects you've tried to ignore. You now have the assets and energy to answer them, so do it. Cash wins have an 'L' element and going with your second guess all day can be a positive strategy. Passion and disguises combine for an intriguing love mix. Get all the latest Libra horoscope news including your weekly and monthly predictions ♏ SCORPIO October 24 to November 22 Reaching out to others, at work or at home, is easier than you expect, so keep trying.

Ultimate guide to Oasis in Edinburgh from stage times to banned items & celeb lookouts
Read on to make sure you don't lose hundreds of pounds WHAT'S THE STORY Ultimate guide to Oasis in Edinburgh from stage times to banned items & celeb lookouts Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EDINBURGH is about to go Supersonic – as Oasis come to town. Noel and Liam Gallagher will play sell-out gigs at Murrayfield on Friday, Saturday and Tuesday, as up to 210,000 fans are expected to descend. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Oasis fans will flock in their thousands to Edinburgh for the sell-out gigs Credit: Getty But we have a super guide to help you navigate the chaos. From banned items to travel and set times, it is packed with key details. If you have no ticket for the show, writes COLAN LAMONT, we will also have reporters to keep you up to speed on our social media channels. GETTING THERE MURRAYFIELD is a 15 to 20-minute walk from Edinburgh's Waverley or Haymarket train stations. ScotRail has put on extra trains but advance booking is advised. 5 Aerial image of Scottish Murrayfield Stadium with Edinburgh in the background Credit: Getty Trams run from Edinburgh Airport, stopping at Murrayfield. Lothian Buses have different routes to the stadium and Big Green Coach is the Oasis tour's official travel partner. Road closures will affect the Roseburn, Murrayfield and Haymarket areas, with the West Approach Road also closing. WHEN'S IT START OASIS are being supported by The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft as well as by Cast — a group founded by members of The La's and Shack. The doors to Murrayfield will open at 5pm, with Cast then taking to the stage an hour later to get the party started. Ashcroft will kick off his set at 7pm before Oasis then make their entrance at 8pm. The show is scheduled to wrap up at 10.30pm. The Sun join the first ever Oasis masterclass ahead of Murrayfield gigs LOOK THE PART AN Oasis pop-up fan store has opened on Edinburgh's George Street. Fans can buy official gear including clothing collaborations with Adidas. 5 Oasis fans have been queuing outside a pop-up shop in Edinburgh Credit: Andrew Barr T-shirts will feature graphics of the Definitely Maybe and (What's The Story) Morning Glory? albums and tour-edition coloured vinyls. Adidas, Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, Levi's, Urban Outfitters and H&M are also all stocking special items for the reunion if you need to get yourself kitted out. 5 The Scottish Sun has produced the ultimate guide to Oasis in Edinburgh Credit: Alamy DON'T FAKE IT FANS have lost more than £2million to fraudsters cashing in on Oasis fever. For resale tickets, use only reputable, authorised retailers. Ethical site Twickets is one of the best, offering fans the option to sell tickets at face value or less in an attempt to battle touts. Ticketmaster also offers a verified resale service. Don't use touts or send money by bank transfer after speaking to someone on social media. CELEB HANGOUT PLENTY of celebrity fans will rock up, if previous shows on the band's tour are anything to go by. Spice Girls star Geri Horner, and Tom Cruise with his rumoured actress girlfriend Ana de Armas, turned out in London, as did Scots favourite Lewis Capaldi, chart-topper Dua Lipa, and TV hosts Davina McCall, Fearne Cotton and Rylan. 5 Two Doors Down star Grado and pal Danny Dyer at Oasis in Cardiff Credit: Instagram EastEnders actor Danny Dyer and Two Doors Down's Grado were at the tour's opening concert in Cardiff. And so, too, were Line Of Duty's Vicky McClure, One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson, model Cara Delevingne, actress Anya Taylor-Joy, U2 guitarist The Edge, Gavin & Stacey fave Rob Brydon, and The Inbetweeners stars James Buckley and Joe Thomas. BANNED AS with any huge music event, there are strict rules barring certain items. Large bags and big umbrellas, flasks, water bottles, large-body cameras, tripods, selfie sticks and other audio kit and instruments are prohibited. Offensive banners and flags, food and drink, and smoking are also outlawed — and this includes e-cigarettes and vapes. Meanwhile, a no-fly zone will be in place over Oasis's massive Scots shows.
