Mystic Meg

Who is Mystic Meg?

Mystic Meg is a British astrologer and psychic who has regular astrology columns in The Sun and until its demise, the News of the World. She came to greater public notice when she hosted what became a regular item on the first broadcast of the National Lottery draw in 1994. Her image also appears on various astrology-related books and merchandise. She studied English at the University of Leeds.

She was born in Accrington, Lancashire.

Comedian Brian Conley based one of his sketch characters Septic Peg on Mystic Meg. Peg was famous for her gormless face pulling. Mystic Meg appeared alongside Septic Peg for Conley's live show "Alive and Dangerous".

In the first edition of the News of the World for each year, Mystic Meg traditionally made predictions for the coming twelve months. These predictions ranged from the sensible to the outright absurd, and were often similar from year to year.

She also owns a number of racehorses under the company name Mystic Meg Limited, which is based in Bedford. The horses include Astrodonna, Astronangel, and Astronova and other horses with celestial names.
