Russell Grant's daily stars

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Worrying does not solve anything. When you feel anxious, turn your thoughts to happier notions. They can include a lovely memory, an exciting plan or a bold dream. The simple act of stroking a pet can raise your vibration, making you more attractive to luck. Long-term financial security is within reach. It’s a matter of owning your power. When you think of yourself as a prosperous person, money will flow into your bank account. Lucrative work assignments will arrive and your income will rise.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) This isn’t a good time to enter a partnership or agreement. Although you’re extremely capable, you’re not interested in doing the work of two people. Your prospective partner will not carry their weight, making you resentful and frustrated. Hold out for a similarly diligent collaborator. Carrying out a tradition makes you feel rooted and secure. It doesn’t matter if it’s a ritual that has been handed down through family or a routine you have invented.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Add some spice to a stagnant relationship. If you have a partner, return to the early days of your courtship. Check in with them frequently. Give them small gifts and make thoughtful gestures on their behalf. If you’re single, become your own best friend. Investing resources will cause them to expand and grow. This is an excellent time to put money into a stock portfolio, pension or bond fund. Having this money in reserve will give you peace of mind, as well as long-term financial security.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) If a nagging ache or pain has resurfaced, make more time for rest. Pushing yourself to the brink of exhaustion ultimately will undermine your productivity. Delegate tasks to other members of the team and do whatever you can to feel better. You are part of a long line of people whose courage, love and sacrifice has brought you to this point. Pause to thank all those relatives, teachers, artists and spiritual guides. Look for opportunities to assist those who are looking for similar kinds of help.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Be more tolerant of young people who don’t have much experience. Although their attitudes and behaviours are annoying, they are understandable. You didn’t grow up with the technological advances and market forces that have formed their awareness. That is why you are different. Your work situation is getting better and better. Be open to learning new skills and assuming different responsibilities. The more open and willing you are, the easier it will be to win a series of promotions and raises.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Getting time away from family will be therapeutic. Although you love your nearest and dearest, their outlook is quite limiting. You’re looking for excitement and adventure, not predictable routines. Stop looking to relatives for approval and assert your independence instead. Working as part of a team will give you great joy. You have great ideas and wonderful technical skills. Brainstorming with people who are more whimsical will deepen your enjoyment of the creative process.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Gossip will make you miserable. Don’t waste time speculating about other people’s lives. Stay off social media sites that make you jealous, resentful or angry. Read a book that makes you happy, listen to uplifting music or watch a movie with an optimistic message. Creating a secure home base is your priority. If this means moving into your own home or buying a place, take one small step towards this goal. The first move always takes the most effort. After that, momentum will build.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) If you’re deep in debt, do not worry. All is well, despite all appearances to the contrary. You’re naturally resourceful and will find a way to attract prosperity. The secret is to cultivate feelings of abundance. Make a gratitude list. Taking a risk will work to your advantage. Everyone looks awkward in the early stages of learning. Allow yourself to make foolish mistakes and laugh at your errors. The more relaxed you are at this stage, the faster you will advance to the next level.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. If a know it all is irritating you, find a healthy outlet for your frustrations. Although their bossy attitude is annoying, you have lots to learn from this expert. Relax after work by meeting friends and taking exercise. An expert is willing to teach you financial strategies. Although you are not preoccupied with material matters, you do welcome the chance to become more independent. Studying with this teacher will be lots more fun than expected.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Waiting for a decision to be made is driving you to distraction. Stay busy with an engrossing task. This is a good time to organise your office or home. Volunteering to help a charitable organisation will also be worth considering. Things will move when you change focus. People have faith in your leadership ability. Accept a job offer that involves making order from chaos. You can negotiate an excellent pay rate for this assignment, since you’re one of the few people who can handle the responsibility.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) A demanding person needs to be put in your place. Although you enjoy being of service to your nearest and dearest, there is a limit to your generosity. Instead of being at this needy individual’s beck and call, check in with them once a day. In a relationship, you’re the power behind the throne. Being able to work outside of the public eye boosts your productivity. It’s easy to focus when you’re not being scrutinised by critics and micromanagers.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) This isn’t the best time to make career changes. You must resolve old resentments before accepting a new position. The last thing you want is to carry a toxic situation with you. Make a list of positive things that your current work situation brings. Your friends will help you realise a cherished goal. Don’t let pride get in the way of accepting financial assistance and moral support. Any healthy relationship involves receiving as well as giving. Welcome grace with a happy heart.
