Russell Grant’s Daily Horoscopes for Sunday 14th July 2019

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Beware of angering people with power plays. It’s much easier to catch flies with honey than vinegar. Your straightforward, upbeat attitude can break down reserves. Use it when issuing orders and making requests. Soon, formality will give way to friendliness. You want to spend more time at home. The sooner you stop pouring all your energy into work, the happier you will be. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to sacrifice your personal life to attain professional success.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Someone with more experience is lording their knowledge over you. Although you have been respectful, they continue to treat you as unworthy of their gifts. Don’t take their attitude personally. This distain is a result of their insecurity. You’ll soon be as knowledgeable. Once you know how to perform a complicated task, you’ll get lots of work. Not only that, but you’ll be able to pass your expertise on to others. Unlike your instructor, you’ll be supportive and encouraging towards your students. It’s the smarter way of conducting life.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Don’t be guided by your sensual desires. Although you are strongly attracted to a dark, mysterious person, it is clear this is not a good partner for you. Hold out for someone who is honest, kind and generous. Seductive manipulators will only break your heart. When it comes to your inner circle, look for people who share your values. Donating your time and energy to a cause that is dear to your heart is strongly advised. You’re sure to meet some thoroughly kind people at a volunteer organisation.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Stop giving your power to a business or romantic partner. Your opinion is just as important as theirs. When you disagree, be forceful. You’ve always had great instincts about people. When you suspect a person can’t be trusted, you’re usually correct. Take this opportunity to promote your agenda. Landing a job, winning someone’s heart or getting a role are among the possibilities. The secret to your success is projecting confidence. Being humble and deferential will only result in lost opportunities.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You’re making too many decisions based on job security. If a position makes you miserable, it’s time to find a new one. Stop telling yourself it’s too difficult or disruptive to make a change. You can’t jeopardise your health for the sake of an income. A spiritual pursuit will make you feel more secure. Being able to transcend petty problems, if only for a few minutes each day, will deepen your appreciation of life. Take your cues from a tender-hearted person who you’ve always admired.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) A romantic partner has a great deal of influence on you. A temporary break will allow you to think more clearly. Go on a trip by yourself so you can review your choices objectively. You should choose the path that is the best for you personally. Pursuing a cherished dream will upset your partner, who is used to being served by you. Putting your goals first will be a much healthier arrangement. If that means breaking up, so be it. You shouldn’t be expected to sacrifice your desires for love.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Don’t give family too much power over your decisions. You long for a rewarding career in the arts. If this desire doesn’t suit their plans, that’s too bad. Always trying to please others is a recipe for disaster. Satisfy your own desires. You’re extremely creative. People are willing to pay lots of money for your work. If you’re not happy with the first price you are quoted, be ready to demand a better one. Your negotiation skills will make you an affluent professional.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Heaping someone with criticism will only make a bad situation worse. Instead of berating a relative or neighbour for making a mistake, be gracious. Your kind attitude will never be forgotten. If you’re having difficulty forgiving this mishap, remember a time when you received grace. Setting a good example for others to follow is wise. When people respect those at the top of an organisation, everyone thrives. That’s why it’s so important to play by the rules, do your best and offer encouragement.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Money is not the source of happiness. What you truly want is freedom. If that means having fewer possessions or performing work that seems like play, so be it. Others may disapprove of your lifestyle, claiming it is irresponsible. Ignore these criticisms. You’ve always been emotionally generous. Being a sympathetic listener makes you a valued friend and confidante. When someone comes to you with a terrible secret, don’t pass judgement. Instead, be as kind and reassuring as possible. Your loved one could benefit from some grace.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Throwing your weight around makes others resentful. Although you do have the power to make other people do your bidding, that doesn’t mean you should use it. Always look for the solution which benefits the greatest amount of people. Your selfless attitude will be rewarded. Your best friend or romantic partner has recently achieved a cherished goal. Congratulate them on their achievement, even if you are jealous. By rising to your higher self, you’ll attract opportunities for success that have been elusive.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) A deep, dark secret is a source of shame. It’s important to talk about this matter with someone who can be trusted. Keeping it bottled up will cause health problems. If it would hurt others to share this information, confess your thoughts to a therapist. A good job will be offered to you, but others will think it isn’t significant enough. Don’t let pride get in the way of earning a good income. There is plenty of time to get a big promotion.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Friends want you to follow their lead, but you have no intention of doing so. It isn’t that you are contrary. You simply want different things from them. If that means leading an unconventional life or dispensing with unwanted responsibilities, so be it. Devote yourself to pleasure at every opportunity, even if others think you are lazy. There’s nothing noble about suffering. Make more time for fun, take longer holidays and indulge in sensual delights. You’ll never regret it.
