TV's Russell Grant with his daily readings

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Arguments with family members are wearing you down. There’s no way you will change a stubborn relative’s opinions, so don’t try. Instead, cultivate relationships with people who share your values, interests and tastes. These friends will help you see the humorous side of domestic quarrels. It’s tempting to lash out at someone who keeps teasing you. Instead of taking offense at their jokes, take them as signs of affection. When you can laugh at yourself, all sorts of wonderful things will flow into your life.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Normally, you take comfort from familiar surroundings. Recently, you’ve outgrown a boring routine. Give yourself permission to strike in a different direction. Moving to an up and coming neighbourhood will be stimulating. You’ll enjoy the restaurants, shops and galleries. You’ll soon become a local celebrity. A domineering person is wearing on your nerves. There’s no reason to wait on this demanding individual, regardless of their position in society. Demand the respect that you give to everyone else. It’s only fair.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You’re not especially ambitious. That’s because you’re doing work that bores you. It’s fine to stay in a job for financial security for a short time, but eventually you must move on to greener pastures. Keep your eyes open for an intellectually stimulating position. A break in a relationship makes you sad. You once thought nothing could tear you and a friend apart. Now you know this is not true. Accept this union has run its course and look for a more rewarding bond.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Money worries aren’t worth your time and attention. You have the capacity to pay all your debts and have enough money to buy luxuries. It’s a matter of being kind, loving and supportive toward yourself. Stop heaping yourself with criticism. Give yourself compliments instead. A terrible injustice is weighing on you. As much as you would like to correct this situation, it is not within your power. Focus on being a comfort to those who are negatively affected by a bad decision or unfair law.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You’ll be forced to pay a hefty fine or tax. Instead of resenting this expense, assume this money will help people who really need it. Releasing your anger will help attract significant moneymaking opportunities. Finances are like the tides; they ebb and flow. Right before achieving a goal, you will be faced with one more obstacle. Resist the temptation to give up, even if you’re suffering from exhaustion. By putting forth one more effort, you’ll finally cross the finish line.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) A loving relationship is showing signs of strain. Rather than wishing your other half would change, focus on becoming more loving towards yourself. When you practice self-care, others will follow your lead. Suddenly, all your personal bonds will become more satisfying. Financial delays and disruptions make you nervous. You have no intention of paying interest on bills that are due. Take this opportunity to call everyone who owes you money. A little nudge will cause money to flow freely again.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Delays are driving you to distraction. You’re the type who always wants to be in motion. Being forced to wait for a job offer, creative opportunity or romantic overture will make you anxious. Find a healthy outlet for this nervous energy. Exercise can help. You’re not sure whether to sign a contract or not. Don’t commit yourself to any arrangement just now. Wait until you find more reliable facts and figures about this situation. Although it sounds tempting, this deal is more trouble than it’s worth.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You’re shocked by someone’s petty behaviour. Although you rarely allow anyone to tangle with you, it may be best to ignore their bad behaviour. Taking the high road will earn the respect of people who once feared you. Don’t be surprised when doors swing open. A job that was promised to you will be awarded to someone else. This is a blessing in disguise. After your rival delivers on their promise, they will find it difficult to get paid. You will feel like you have dodged a bullet.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You’ll be placed in an awkward position. It will be necessary to turn down a friend who assumes they can shame you into doing their bidding. This relationship will never be the same, but it can’t be helped. You should never go against your conscience. A power struggle seems pointless to you. You have no interest in dominating someone who could be your equal partner. Rather than getting drawn into this conflict, walk away. There are plenty of fish in the sea.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Don’t beat yourself up for indulging in luxuries. No matter what your financial situation, it can be improved. Give thanks for all the creature comforts you possess. Nothing attracts wealth like an appreciative attitude. Nothing drives it away like shame. An unstable situation is keeping you awake at night. Finding a more reliable housing situation should be your priority. Imagine your ideal domestic situation and assume it is on the way to you. With the right attitude, you’ll attract a great place you can easily purchase.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Beware of engaging in gossip. Even if you dislike someone, it’s best to speak well of all your colleagues. The last thing you want is to get a reputation for being disloyal. Vent your frustrations about an untalented person in a private journal. You can’t look at a disappointment through rose coloured glasses. Acknowledge your grief and give yourself time to recover from this upset. Be kind to yourself, giving yourself gentle encouragement at every opportunity. This, too, shall pass.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You’re consumed by jealousy. Instead of imagining a business or romantic partner betraying you, treat them the way you want to be treated. If your relationship is healthy, it will blossom. If not, it will fall apart, leaving you free to pursue a rewarding union. Your pride could be hurt after encountering a more talented rival. Instead of trying to outperform this gifted individual, form an alliance. By working together, you will learn some wonderful techniques that will improve your performance.
