Meghan Markle has suggested the ‘hardest seven years’ of her life are coming to an end, with two horoscope posts on Instagram.

The Duchess reshared a video posted by a page called Astrology is for Everyone, which features two men dancing ecstatically.

It is captioned: ‘Taurus, Leo, Scorpio & Aquarius ending the hardest seven years of their lives on April 25th.’

Meghan was born on August 4, 1981, so is a Leo star sign.

Her recirculation of the clip to her 4.5million followers suggests she subscribes to the prediction – and feels that the past seven years have been particularly challenging.

No one knows for sure whether Meghan believes in astrology or not. But the fact that a woman who is usually reserved on social media, mostly posting personal photos or promoting the As Ever brand, chose to share these exact words, at this particular time, is clearly no coincidence.

The video, created by influencers Harrison Keefe and Nepia Takuira-Mita, was accompanied by an explanation of how the movement of Uranus has supposedly dealt people with Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius star signs the ‘toughest years of their lives’.

Celebrating the fact that Meghan shared the video, the person behind the astrology account wrote: ‘The Queen herself has been public proof of this transit… here’s to reigning again.’

Another post on Meghan’s Instagram story claimed to describe signs that Leos are ‘about to exhale for the first time in seven years’.

It read: ‘The tension between who you actually are and what the world around you was willing to see has been exhausting in a way that is hard to explain to people who have not lived it.

‘Your confidence took hits it had no business taking.

I know how the Queen REALLY felt about Meghan

I have spent hours looking into what Meghan Markle’s relationship with the Queen was really like. And while I can tell you Meghan was welcomed with open arms, my sources have told me the Queen was very quickly concerned. Sign up here to read what I discovered

‘You questioned your creative direction, your spotlight, your worth.

‘April 25th, the pressure lifts. You get the space to just exist without fighting for it.’

Meghan and Harry both stepped back from royal duties in early 2020, before moving to California to bring up their children, amid a storm of public scrutiny.

Since then, they have been dealt a number of further blows.

Spotify’s deal with the Duke and Duchess, estimated to be worth £18m in late 2020, ended in 2023, and this year it was revealed that Meghan was splitting from Netflix.

She and Harry also came under fire for their quasi-royal tour of Australia this month, with some critics complaining they were treating the country ‘like an ATM’.

During the trip, Meghan gave some indication of the challenges she felt she had battled over the past few years, telling crowds she had been ‘the most trolled woman in the world’.

Speaking to students at Melbourne’s Swinburne University of Technology about the dangers of social media and its impact on mental health, she said: ‘I can speak to that really personally, which is why I like to listen, because it rings true for me in a very real way.

‘For now, ten years, every day for ten years, I have been bullied and attacked. And I was the most trolled person in the entire world. I’m still here.’

On the same day, Prince Harry declared that he never wanted to be a working royal because it ‘killed’ his mother.

Speaking at the $1,000-a-head InterEdge Summit in Melbourne Park, Harry said he had felt ‘lost, betrayed, or completely powerless’ during his life.
