Ring in the season of rebirth and renewal (Picture: Getty/Metro)
Spring is the astrological New Year’s season, the perfect time to make a commitment, a shift, a step towards growth and new horizons.
Rebirth and reinvention feel more natural right now than January 1.
After the heaviness of winter, this is about small, intentional shifts that change your trajectory.
So, here’s the one step, ritual or action your star sign needs to take this spring.

Aries
March 21 to April 20
Do the hard stuff first
This spring, pick the one task you keep mentally rehearsing — the application, the conversation, the booking — and do it within 72 hours of reading this! Action restores your confidence faster than reassurance.
Stop looking for comfort or reasons to delay and start taking the steps that will break this issue down, start to address it, and get things moving. It’s all going to go a lot better than you think.
Decluttering is a natural spring task but when you look around your home, it can feel utterly overwhelming. So, start small. One area a week, one small step. I guarantee it will change your mood and momentum. Pick one drawer. One wardrobe rail. One digital folder.

Taurus energy is deeply tied to comfort and security — and clutter quietly blocks both. As you purge and clear the space, your mental headspace will declutter too, leaving room for new thinking and ideas.
You’re brilliant at keeping things light (in fact it’s a default habit), but something unsaid has been lingering. Clarity matters more than charm right now. You must express your feelings fully, vulnerably, and without varnish or gloss. Other folk need to hear this. And then they need to sit with it.
Don’t try and have all the answers. You are looking for an ally, for support, for understanding, but above all a willingness to work together to help resolve this.
You give endlessly — emotionally, practically, quietly. This spring, make non-negotiable time for your own self nurturing, whether that’s done in or outside the house.
Putting your needs and interests and desires first is not selfish. It’s necessary to keep your wellbeing and mental state on point. When you refill your own cup, you stop feeling resentful and start feeling radiant. Whatever it is that you really want to do…. do it once a week on this special night!
You’ve outgrown something (maybe a role or relationship or expectation), but you’re still dressing, speaking or behaving like the old version of you. Cue refreshing something tangible and visible (so that you see and feel it) — hair, wardrobe, routine, stationery, CV, photos, decor.
Leo energy blooms when seen. And this is not a vanity move, this is about aligning your outside with your inside and making your new, true self visible. It will feel so good and you really don’t ever need much of an excuse for a glow up
You’ve been holding yourself to a perfect standard (that no one else does or explicitly asked you to). Perfect parent. Perfect partner. Perfect employee.

Choose a standard that has felt heavy or impossible recently and consciously lower it. Notice when you start to drift back towards it and distract your thoughts with a mantra, conversation or music. Keep drowning out that inner judge. Done is better than perfect. The mental space you reclaim will do more for your progress than self-criticism ever has.
The season of procrastination or seeking outside validation or permission is over. This spring, choose something based purely on what you want. Go ahead and invest, say yes, commit, book it, plan it, pay for it, do it.
Take one bold leap into the unknown that excites you, and do it without really telling anyone else about it. Own your life choices, feel powerful.
Scorpios are built to hold grudges and seek revenge, even the sweetest, nicest ones! But something you’re holding onto is draining more energy than it’s worth.
Now, this doesn’t mean you have to reunite, reconnect or even meet. This could simply be a mental shift and processing that releases you from this feud. Write it down, rip it up, block them, archive the message — whatever symbolises closure for you.
You are a freedom seeker, a traveller, a character greedy for expansion and growth. If you’ve felt flat, it’s because you’ve been stuck in routine. So, book a trip, a course, a day out — even if it’s small.
Optimism is created by having something meaningful and exciting on your horizon, something to aim for and work towards. This will put instant pep into this spring season.
You have endured something with great maturity and patience but now it’s time to advocate for yourself. Whether that’s a pay rise, clearer boundaries, or more support at home — speak up.
Advertisement
By valuing yourself and setting this standard, you are teaching others how to treat you in the future so this is not only worthwhile in the moment, but also the long run. Get what you’re owed and what you deserve. Be authoritative about this. It’s time to stand up.
The petty and mundane details of everyday life have pulled you into the weeds lately and you’ve felt overwhelmed by itty bitty humdrum ‘adulting’. Step back and ask: what am I building long term? Revisit an old idea. Update a forgotten goal.
It’s time to look beyond the here and now and reactivate your innovative spirit by designing a fresh new future. Change your outlook, expand your mindset, think lon- term, create a vision board that inspires you.
When life feels overwhelming, you have a tendency to drift — scrolling, daydreaming, postponing, fantasising, escaping. This spring asks you to restore some gentle discipline in your everyday routine. Create one simple daily ritual: morning walk, journalling, 20 minutes of focused work.
Structure is means of stabilising you, so that the day feels manageable, easier, organised and, from there, your imagination and creativity have more space to roam and expand.

Zoe Turnbull, 46, has won a compensation payout against William McBurnie after the violent thug rammed his car through a funeral parlour.
Horrifying moment ex-cop ploughs car through window of ex-partner’s shop
Horror CCTV footage captured the terrifying moment a former police officer ploughed his car into his ex-partner’s funeral directors business while she was inside with her elderly mum. Zoe Turnbull has won a compensation payout against William McBurnie after the violent thug rammed his car through a funeral parlour.
McBurnie, 58, narrowly missed the 46-year-old and her 71-year-old mother, Beverly, after he drove his vehicle at speed through the building during a booze-fuelled rage. McBurnie was jailed for 11 years after he pleaded guilty to the attempted murders of the pair at the High Court in Livingston in 2024.
Footage of the shocking incident showed McBurnie’s vehicle approaching the shop at an alarming speed. The motor then ploughed through the window of Zoe’s shop. Zoe and her mother can be seen diving against a wall at the side of the room the vehicle narrowly misses smashing into both women.
Debris can be seen flying through the shop as the car smashes through the glass front. McBurnie can then be seen getting out of the car before making an exit. Zoe was left with hearing loss and injuries to her back and legs and, with the help of Digby Brown, she launched a legal action against McBurnie. Her solicitors have now confirmed to the Record that the case has been settled.
The amount Zoe received is unknown but Mairi Day, Partner at Digby Brown Solicitors, confirmed the legal action against the disgraced former police officer had ended. She said: “What happened to Zoe and her mother was life-changing – they suffered physical and emotional harm that will likely impact them both forever.
“After everything Zoe has gone through she has understandably requested privacy so I will not discuss the particulars of her civil action other than to confirm the case has now settled. I hope the end of the criminal and civil proceedings means Zoe can finally close this distressing chapter and focus on a positive future.”
Speaking after sentencing in 2024, Zoe described McBurnie as a “forceful monster” as she welcomed the jail term handed down by the judge. She said: “Finally, after two years of physical, emotional and practical chaos, we have justice. McBurnie was the Jekyll and Hyde of Jedburgh – charming in public but dangerous behind the scenes.
“I believe the attempt on my life happened because he knew he was losing his grip on me and this extreme act was some warped and cowardly attempt to control things. He was just a forceful monster who encroached on our lives and used violence to get his own way.

“That man has shamed himself, the police service and his family – objectively, after what he did, jail really is the only place for him. I am grateful to everyone who supported us from the community to the NHS to the police and prosecutors who put him behind bars.
“My mother and I now hope to put this painful chapter behind us so we request our privacy is respected as we move forwards. But as a final note I’d just like to say to anyone suffering from domestic abuse – whether man or woman – please do not feel like you are alone, or trapped or have no options and please don’t wait for the worst to happen before acting. You have a voice and there are so many people around you ready to listen – and act – so you can get the help you need.”

A wellness centre featuring a steam room, cold room, sauna, treatment spaces, and communal spaces was also proposed. The applicants said the glamping pods would offer “luxury accommodation” to people travelling from areas such as Peterborough, Wisbech, and Birmingham.
They added that the wellness centre would provide a “unique selling point” for the site and would be for people “seeking a relaxing retreat”. Fenland District Council has approved the plans.
The council planning officer said the site proposed to “redevelop a disused go-kart track” for “local community use”. A planning officer added: “It represents minimal issues in terms of visual or residential amenity and is acceptable in respect of highway safety.
“It will also enable small economic growth within a rural area and will improve local biodiversity and the overall character of the area.” Before approval, the plans were welcomed by locals, who submitted 12 supportive comments and no objections.

One person in Williams Way, Manea, said the retreat was a “great idea” and it was a “lovely area” for it to be built in. Another resident in Landau Way, March said it would be a “great asset” to the town.
They added: “A wellness centre is something we do not have locally and would also be a great addition to the town. Creek Fen is a nice quiet location and has lots of wildlife around.”
Another person in Newlands Avenue, March, said: “What a wonderful idea, a sanctuary for people to relax and unwind, in a surrounding that feels like you’re miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.”
Manchester United’s summer transfer window is already taking shape despite uncertainty reigning over Michael Carrick’s future
After seeing such success from their 2025 signings, Manchester United will no doubt be targeting more of the same this summer. However, their success in the market could depend as much on deals for players leaving the club as it will on new arrivals.
The interim manager could well end up being appointed permanently if the team can return to European football’s premier competition. With that in mind, Mirror Football dissects the latest transfer stories revolving around Old Trafford this week
Many a United fan was disappointed to see Scott McTominay leave his boyhood club for Napoli in the summer of 2024. And after getting so much value out of the Scot, the Italian giants will aim to repeat that same magic.

That’s after it emerged Napoli are targeting as many as four soon-to-be out-of-contract United players this summer. Antonio Conte’s side could have another batch of bargains on their hands if their Old Trafford fishing expedition comes off – and reunite McTominay with one or more former United colleagues.
CalcioNapoli24 has reported Napoli are lining up moves for Harry Maguire, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia and Tom Heaton. Each among the quartet are currently due to see their deals expire this summer.
Maguire, 33, is also reportedly in advanced talks to put pen to paper on a new short-term contract, according to the Athletic’s David Ornstein. It’s been claimed the England defender could almost halve his wages in order to stay put at Old Trafford, but the prospect of starting afresh in Naples may also appeal.
Napoli are free to discuss terms with any of the four players now they’re each in the final six months of their respective deals. Both McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund, who has been on loan with the Serie A club this season, can vouch that the grass is sometimes greener elsewhere.

Man Utd linked with Alphonso Davies
In the event Malacia does depart at the end of this season, Alphonso Davies could arrive as cover at left-back. The Canadian has been out of Vincent Kompany’s plans this term due to repeat injury issues, including an ACL tear that kept him sidelined at the start of the campaign.
But Bild’s Christian Falk has reported United are very much interested in his signature. The club wants fresh competition for Luke Shaw, who has weathered his own share of injury setbacks but still remains highly favoured for the role when fit.
Diogo Dalot has returned to playing right-back on a more permanent basis since Carrick took over in January. Patrick Dorgu was also signed to fill in on the left flank, but it appears his future could be further upfield.
That’s said to have turned United toward Davies, who is barely 12 months into a Bayern contract that’s due to run until 2030. However, the appropriate offer could convince Die Roten to sell after seemingly growing disillusioned with the value they’re getting in light of his injury issues.

You may need to call up Nationwide about the issue
Nationwide Building Society has outlined its rules regarding changes to accounts. The organisation issued the clarification after an enquiry from a customer.

The customer reached out to the group on social media, explaining that they held a credit card and a savings account with Nationwide. They asked: “I’ve recently opened up a joint account with my partner. How long does this take to appear on my mobile banking app?”
With a joint account, both individuals can access and withdraw funds from the account using separate cards. Should there be an overdraft, both parties share joint liability for it. At Nationwide, you will both be members of the building society, though only the first named account holder will be entitled to cast their vote on matters where customers have a say.
Responding to the customer, Nationwide said: “It can take seven days for the account to show on your account list, if it’s been longer than this please call us on 03457 302011 to look into this further.” Nationwide has previously pledged to retain all of its existing high street branches until at least 2030.
The organisation confirmed it will not shut any of its 605 branches unless circumstances outside its control compel it to do so. Dame Debbie Crosbie, CEO of Nationwide Building Society, said: “Our customers can be confident that they can bank with us whichever way they choose.

“Branches are important to our customers, to communities, and to the health of our high streets. That’s why Nationwide will continue to keep branches open in addition to our investment in online and telephone channels.”
Stephen Noakes, director of retail at Nationwide, recently spoke to MPs about the significance of maintaining a high street presence for the building society. He revealed that 56 percent of customers have used face-to-face services over the past year,
He told the Treasury Committee that these services hold particular importance for older customers. He said: “We are probably seeing a disproportionate number of those customers who are offline, but I think it is good for the development of the banking sector that you have a large mutual – it is not just ourselves; other building societies are in the same situation – that will continue to do more channel of choice.”

Snow is possible in Northern Ireland and Scotland on Tuesday, with temperatures plunging to 6C on Wednesday and overnight lows of -5C in rural areas
Ethan Blackshaw Deputy Publishing Lead (Mirror) and Emma O’Neill Content Editor
18:01, 23 Mar 2026
Last week saw thermometers climb beyond 20C as Britain experienced its warmest day of the year thus far – however Met Office meteorologists now warn snow is approaching this week.
Weather systems will deliver rainfall, powerful winds and chillier conditions throughout the coming days, with Wednesday particularly anticipated to be a “shock to the system”. Daytime temperatures will drop as low as 6C – though will feel considerably colder owing to the wind chill.

Tuesday is forecast to bring wet and blustery conditions for much of the country as well. Northern England and Wales will be struck by substantial rainfall, according to the Met Office, whilst hail and thunderstorms are predicted for Northern Ireland and Scotland. It adds that snow may also fall tomorrow across Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster Steven Keates said: “Wednesday could be quite a shock to the system. Temperatures will range from 6C to 10C, but it will feel closer to low single figures for many areas in the wind.
“Wintry showers are likely, especially over higher ground in the north, and a widespread frost – with icy patches for some – is possible on Wednesday night. It should be a little milder again by the end of the week, with many areas seeing another spell of rain on Friday.”, reports the Mirror.
Whilst snow descends over elevated terrain in the north, overnight temperatures on Wednesday may plummet to as low as -5C in certain countryside locations, the Met Office indicates. Ice is anticipated across northern regions on Thursday morning. The Met Office forecast states: “Most places remain dry with sunny spells on Thursday, although cloud and rain pushes into Northern Ireland and western parts later on.
“Temperatures return closer to average from Friday onwards, though further weather systems may affect the UK at the weekend, most likely affecting northern areas.”
BBC Weather also predicts snowfall on Tuesday and Wednesday. Their forecast reads: “Tomorrow will see a band of rain pushing south-east, turning locally heavy across parts of England and Wales. Sunny spells and scattered rain, sleet and snow showers will develop behind this. Windy.
“Wednesday will see a chilly and windy day with sunny spells and showers, these wintry over the hills. Drier on Thursday with sunny spells for many, with some wintry showers lingering towards eastern coasts. Friday will have a cloudy start with rain pushing eastwards. Drier and brighter in the afternoon, with just a few isolated showers.”
Key was also a guest on the the TMS programme and he said England will make changes in the way they approach selection.
There had been a perception that the England Test team felt like a ‘closed shop’, particularly to players in county cricket who did not fit the aggressive Bazball style.
Key said the introduction of a “county insight group” to offer input into selection will attempt to formally rebuild relations with stakeholders, including directors of cricket, in the domestic game.
The 46-year-old former Kent captain also said England’s selection policy will become more cut-throat compared to the past when certain players have almost appeared undroppable.

“We’ve overvalued loyalty and overvalued having a settled team,” Key said.
“We thought what we wanted to do is make sure we have a team that is settled out there [in Australia], that we go out there and we’re not giving debuts to opening batters [during the Ashes] and stuff like that.
“But what that does is it creates an environment where there’s not enough consequence. We need to be more ruthless with our selection.”
McCullum is due to return to work towards the end of May as England gear up for a Test series against his native New Zealand which starts at Lord’s on 4 June.

However, Vaughan felt it would have been worthwhile McCullum spending time on the circuit during the early rounds of the County Championship – for good PR if nothing else.
“I’m a bit disappointed that he’s not coming a bit earlier,” Vaughan said.
“I think at this stage, when you’re trying to win back the fans, trying to win back a little bit of the game, if I was Brendon McCullum, I’d come a few weeks earlier, get seen around the counties.
“I’d go and talk to a few coaches, go and speak to a few umpires, get seen out and about just for the optics. Because at this stage he needs the fans, and he needs the game to kind of get behind his philosophy a little bit more.”
Early symptoms of meningitis may be easy to dismiss or confuse
Meningitis is a serious infection that can develop rapidly and potentially cause lifelong complications if left without treatment for too long. However, some of its earliest warning signs can easily be dismissed and mistaken for much more common conditions.
Advertisement
Dr Donald Grant, GP and Senior Clinical Advisor at The Independent Pharmacy, highlighted seven specific illnesses that have a lot of overlapping symptoms with the early stages of meningitis. He emphasised that one of the key differences between these conditions and meningitis is that the latter will progress very quickly while others may take time for symptoms to worsen.
Key signs of meningitis according to the doctor:
Stiff neck
Confusion
Seizures
Sensitivity to light
Rash that does not fade when pressed
Flu
In the early stages, meningitis may cause fever, headaches, fatigue, nausea and muscle aches. All of which can be triggered by the flu as well. However, the flu usually doesn’t cause other symptoms like confusion or sensitivity to light which may be the key in telling the difference.
Severe Migraine
Meningitis causes intense headaches and when paired with the light sensitivity symptom it’s easy to see why it can be mistaken for a migraine. The GP warned: “If symptoms occur alongside fever, confusion or neck stiffness, medical attention should be sought urgently.”

Gastroenteritis
Vomiting, fever and general fatigue are overlapping symptoms shared by gastroenteritis and meningitis but the latter will soon develop neurological symptoms which aren’t usually caused by stomach bugs.
Covid-19 or Viral Respiratory Infections
Meningitis also shares a lost of similar symptoms with other viral infections like Covid. The doctor noted that one of the few ways to tell the diferrence between these conditions is seeing how quickly the symptoms escalate.
Severe Sinus Infection
Also known as sinusitis, this condition can cause fever, fatigue and severe headaches just like the early stages of meningitis. However, it usually doesn’t cause neck stiffness or neurological symptoms as meningitis does.
Encephalitis
This condition involves inflammation of the brain. It can be very serious and must be treated as quickly as possible. Like meningitis, it also causes fever, headaches, confusion and sensitivity to light.
The GP said: “Because both conditions affect the brain and nervous system, distinguishing between them typically requires medical tests.”
Hangover or ‘Fresher’s Flu’
Dr Grant continued: “Interestingly, meningitis symptoms in young adults are sometimes mistaken for hangovers or what is often referred to as ‘fresher’s flu’, particularly in university settings where fatigue, headaches and nausea may seem routine. However, meningitis can progress extremely quickly, so persistent symptoms or sudden deterioration should never be ignored.
“If meningitis is suspected at any point, it is crucial to seek urgent medical attention. Early diagnosis and treatment significantly improve outcomes and can be lifesaving.”
