A sense of relief appeared to mark April 25 for Meghan Markle, who used a special message to quietly signal the close of what she described, indirectly, as an especially difficult chapter. At 44, the Duchess reshared astrology posts suggesting that a long, turbulent cycle had finally come to an end.
One of the posts she shared featured a simple but pointed message. “Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, & Aquarius ending the hardest seven years of their lives on April 25.” Born August 4, Meghan falls under Leo, making the message feel personal. The content drew on astrological interpretations tied to Uranus in Taurus, a period often associated with upheaval and transformation across both personal and professional spheres.

“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,” the message read.

The timing of these posts has drawn attention, as the past seven years of Meghan’s life have been defined by intense public scrutiny and major transitions.

More recently, reports of professional challenges, including the end of her partnership with Netflix, have added to that narrative.
Those pressures were not just abstract. During a recent visit to Australia, Meghan spoke candidly about the toll of online criticism, telling students she had been “bullied and attacked” every day for a decade and at one point felt like “the most trolled person in the entire world.” Despite that, she emphasized resilience, adding, “Now, I’m still here.”

Harry also reflected on his own struggles, sharing that he delayed seeking help until a breaking point, underscoring how deeply those years affected them both.

At a “girls weekend” retreat for the Her Best Life podcast, she spoke about motherhood, explaining that raising Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, has reshaped her perspective and taught her patience, something she noted was necessary “given what our life is like.”
Taken together, the astrology posts and recent remarks suggest a turning point. Without stating it outright, Meghan’s message points to closure, and possibly the beginning of a period defined less by pressure and more by autonomy.
