Weekly horoscope for June 1 – June 7: What the stars have in store for every zodiac sign revealed
Maggie Innes, Astrologer Published: Invalid Date, OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died in 2023 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 MAR 21 - APR 20 12 Letting Saturn settle into your sign is a wise decision, so hold off on any major personal moves this week to ensure all your plans are firmly in place. This will make success a more certain outcome. Your love life is transitioning from 'me' to 'we' as Venus moves forward, bringing together moments that will soon be on your calendar. Above all, believe in better, regardless of what has happened over the past weeks. TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21 12 You are welcoming Venus, your romantic ruling planet, for its annual visit, and the key aspect for you is a sense of peace. Whatever happens between partners, you can adapt and grow through it. If you are single, choosing the date who instantly makes you feel 'seen' is a brilliant move. A creative moon will help take home-based ideas to the next, exciting stage. GEMINI MAY 22 - JUNE 21 12 Mercury and Jupiter are spending their final week in your sign, so make the most of this opportunity. Speak or write the words you've been hesitant to express and trust in your ability to create your own luck, especially when it comes to inner talents. In matters of love, a dreamy phase is beginning, and you should let your deeply emotional heart take precedence over your always-active mind. CANCER JUNE 22 - JULY 22 If an ambition you thought was long gone keeps resurfacing in your mind, it deserves your attention. Whether it's missed love opportunities or work goals you've admired, admitting what you truly want will allow Saturn to master its success. Partners may make private words public sooner than expected. Restart a style makeover rather than sticking with a costly mistake. LEO JULY 23 - AUG 23 12 The deep insight of the moon and the powerful energy of Mars are just two of the advantages in your chart this week. You also possess new passion ambitions that, this time, will not falter or fall due to obstacles of time or distance. Visualise the future you desire most, as you are already moving towards it. Your luck factor is linked to a former competition team who reunite. VIRGO AUG 24 - SEPT 22 12 The time to finalise key Virgo goals is now, as your coping and communication skills are at their peak. Delaying decisions may feel safer but could dilute your well-deserved personal fortune. Seek advice if you wish, but always follow your own heart first. In love, your new Venus outlook is bold and adventurous, and partners are eager to explore this with you. LIBRA SEPT 23 - OCT 23 12 You possess the strength to hold a couple or group together, as well as the honesty to highlight areas that need improvement. By the weekend, everyone will have greater clarity about the future and be more able to let go of the past. If you are single, the way your spirits lift when you see or hear someone is a strong love clue. Libra's luck factor is linked to mystery guests. SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22 A long list of options can be narrowed down to one if you treat yourself with kindness rather than toughness. In love, if you experience doubts, Venus' new focus on lasting promises can help you move forward. At work, expecting yourself to know everything is unrealistic, but Saturn will be there to offer support. Luck could arise from multiple-choice contests. SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21 12 This week, your chart encourages you to do more of what you love, and you can begin immediately. Simple pleasures, which are often free, will strengthen connections between couples. If you are single, joining a group that shares your passions could introduce you to a love interest. Though your current work role may not be ideal, it is building your confidence for something much bigger and better. CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20 12 The foundations of your chart are shifting as Venus moves into your child-related zone. This could introduce younger influences into your life, either through love or work. Extra cash linked to parent-child bonds may bring luck as well. If you feel your attitude towards the future changing, don't resist it – allow yourself to embrace the carefree Capricorn you know is inside you. AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 18 12 Your mantra this week is to strike while the creative iron is hot. Use your smart thinking and special luck to make changes, whether this involves asking for a different love dynamic, a new home setup, or pursuing a dream of a fashion or beauty business. Deep down, you know what you need, and you are ready to claim it. Love will be warmly forgiving. PISCES FEB 19 - MAR 20 12 Anything you say this week can convey your message effectively if you fill your words with love and respect. Avoid the temptation to blame or shame others, including yourself. There is newfound strength in your cash zone, giving you confidence to cut, review, or recalculate figures. Your passion self is proactive and poised, and 'P' love responds positively.

Enya seen for the first time in 8 years after reclusive life in Victorian castle
Enya has been spotted for the first time in years. The Only Time hitmaker, 64, is rarely seen out and about, having floated onto the world's stage in the 1980s with her ethereal, unique sound on hits including Orinoco Flow and Evening Falls. Since, she's clocked up four Grammy Awards, countless nominations and an Oscars shortlist for her soundtrack classic May It Be, from Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. The vocalist, famed for her haunting choir-like melodies, is the second most successful Irish artist of all time after U2, having sold over 80million albums, and she's got a reported £98m fortune. Fans have been wondering where Enya is, as her last music drop was ten years ago in her 2015 eighth studio album, Dark Sky Island. She's also not been seen publicly since the Grammys in 2017, so this was a reassuring moment for fans, as she looked the picture of health, dressed up for a wedding at Drumhalla House in Donegal on May 16. The Only Time hitmaker wore a gorgeous black and white lacey dress, with a shimmering necklace and short haircut as she posed with fellow attendees. The Irish singer's reclusive lifestyle has been documented over the years, as she reportedly spends much time in her 19th century castle, located just south of Dublin, by the sea. Having bought Manderley Castle – named after the house in her favourite book, Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca – in 1997 for €3.8m (£2.5m), Enya is thought to enjoy the sprawling space with, at one time, up to a dozen cats. In a 2015 interview while talking about her new music, Enya touched on her love life. 'I am single, yes,' she told The Independent. 'But as the song suggests, there have been… relationships. It's quite hard to have someone accept that – well, not that they are second to the music, but that I do need a certain amount of space for it. 'And even though the person will understand that at the beginning, there is something like jealousy towards the music after a while.' There was a seven-year gap between her last two albums, and Enya said at the time that she needed the pause. Alongside her Irish bolthole, Enya bought a house in the south of France and travelled in this time, visiting family. The rest of her days, the publication report, are spent in Manderley Castle, not far from Bono's place. During her time there Enya has fortified the castle walls sky-high, having experienced a number of disturbing run-ins with stalkers, which she told the outlet has 'been traumatic'. Enya was born Eithne Ní Bhraonáin in Ireland in 1961, one of nine children. As a teenager Enya enjoyed a brief time with her family's band Clannad, before going it alone and collaborating with producer Nicky Ryan and his poet wife Roma Ryan, who she continued to work with all the way to her latest album.

Is zodiac compatibility real? 5 tests to identify your star sign and predict love using astrology
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ZODIAC compatibility is the belief that your astrological sign affects your romantic connections. YouTube channels like Cosmic Fusion use this mystical view in its matchmaking games. But why are some signs more compatible with others? Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 There are 12 signs of the Western Zodiac Credit: Alamy 3 Social media accounts like Cosmic Fusion use Zodiac compatibility in their dating shows Credit: YouTube/@Cosmic Fusion The Cosmic Fusion Test Cosmic Fusion uses a five-stage test to determine who each contestant's best romantic partner is. The test involves each participant writing down their astrological sign when they first meet. They can only reveal their sign after opening up to each other about their lives. By this time, it is believed that each person can work out whether their sign is compatible with their potential partner's. This method can be used on first dates and experts believe that it can help singles choose better partners. Compatibility in the Western Zodiac In order to be compatible with each other, zodiac signs need to have complimentary elements. For example, fire and air signs work well together. This is because fire uses oxygen in order to burn, meaning an air sign fuels their partner's passionate side. Meanwhile, fire signs give their partner a sense of direction. Who should a Leo date? Discover the best and worst zodiac matches! Conversely, water signs and fire signs are a bad mix - as water suppresses fire. Water signs pair well with earth signs, though, because water nourishes the ground. The compatibility of a Zodiac pairings also depends on whether the signs have traits which work well together. For example, a bombastic Sagittarius would be poorly matched with a practical and organised Virgo. 3 Your sign depends on when you were born Credit: Alamy Compatibility in the Chinese Zodiac Some experts have suggested that the Chinese Zodiac also plays a role in dating. Your Chinese Zodiac sign is determined by the year in which you were born and corresponds to a 12-year-cycle. Each year in that cycle is associated with a particular animal. For example, 2013 and 2025 are both the Year of the Snake while 2014 and 2026 are the Year of the Horse. The cycle repeats itself after 12 years, with the full list of animals including: Rat Ox Tiger Rabbit Dragon Snake Horse Goat Monkey Rooster Dog Pig The 12 signs are split into four "triangles of affinity". Dating a person who is in your "triangle of affinity" leads to stronger matches. Signs which have similar 'triangles of affinity' are more likely to make better matches. For example, clever animals like rats, monkeys and dragons are said to get along well due to their high intellect. However, each animal is also assigned a particular element depending on the number with which your year of birth ends. The Chinese zodiac has an extra element compared to the Western four, with the addition of metal. Air is also replaced as an element by wood in the Chinese Zodiac. The full list includes: Metal: Birth year ending in 0 or 1 Water: Birth year ending in 2 or 3 Wood: Birth year ending in 4 or 5 Fire: Birth year ending in 6 or 7 Earth: Birth year ending in 8 or 9 Some elements are more comptatible with others. For example, metal is compatible with earth since it can often be found in the ground. Similarly, the elements can be destructive towards each other. Fire melts metal, for example, meaning they are a poor match. This means you need to not only find a zodiac animal compatible with your own, but also someone whose element is compatible with yours.
