Your stars with Russell Grant

Aries (Mar21/Apr20)

Financial security is your priority. It’s much easier to take emotional, creative and professional risks when you have money in the bank. Learning a trade will give you a choice of lucrative jobs. Do some research into rapidly growing fields that need skilled workers. You have the stamina and perseverance to achieve great things. While everyone else is panting with exhaustion, you’re ready to move on to the next adventure. Running your own business is a great option for you.

Taurus (Apr21/May21)

You’re quick on your feet, determined to take advantage of every opportunity for advancement. Volunteering for an overseas assignment is strongly advised. Not only will you be paid well, but you’ll also gain valuable experience and enjoy a new way of life. Delving deeply into philosophical questions is rewarding. Although you’ve always had a deep appreciation for creature comforts, they mean nothing without a moral code. Studying a spiritual practice with someone you respect is strongly advised.

Gemini (May22/Jun21)

Caring for a small animal will be rewarding. You are often filled with restless energy. Feeding, grooming and cuddling a creature will make you feel calm and centred. Instead of yearning to get away, you’ll be inspired to put down some roots. You’re good at handling joint finances. Regularly putting money into a retirement or savings account will put you in a much stronger economic position. Cut out impulse purchases for the sake of long-term security. You’ll barely miss that daily cup of coffee. Brew your own.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23)

Invite people over for a party. You’ll have a wonderful time relaxing with your nearest and dearest. Your job requires you to maintain a polished image. This can feel oppressive at times. Being with friends allows you to unleash your silly sense of humour. Delay a partnership until you’re sure of someone’s reliability. Just because someone is experienced doesn’t mean they work well with others. After a few trial runs and temporary assignments, you’ll have a better sense of whether you will be a good team.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23)

Building something of lasting value fills you with pride. Take this opportunity to start a business, build a prototype or build a structure. You have all the patience necessary to realise this lofty goal. Turn a deaf ear to cynics who try to discourage you. Taking better care of your health is important. Get into the habit of preparing nutritious meals and snacks at the beginning of each week. Having healthy options will keep you from binging on junk food when you’re anxious or tired.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23)

Spending time outdoors is critical to your health and wellbeing. A sedentary lifestyle doesn’t suit you; it puts you in a state of apathy and lethargy. Even if you have a desk job, you should step away from your work at regular intervals to snap out of this mode. Taking a quick walk around the block every two hours or so will be an amazing tonic for you. This will improve your productivity.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23)

A passionate relationship prompts you to see the world differently. Instead of wasting valuable time and energy on activities that don’t bring much satisfaction, you will transform your schedule. Devote the lion’s share of your attention to artistic and athletic pursuits that give you joy. Plan for financial security in your old age. Having money in the bank will give you a better range of options. You might want to take out a long-term care insurance policy, just for an added measure of protection.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22)

Join forces with an ultra-practical person. Although you’ll sometimes find their methods boring, you can’t deny they are effective. Thanks to this alliance, you’ll attract much more lucrative work assignments. Your income will double and you’ll enjoy a better standard of life. Taking a business trip will be productive. Meeting with a potential client will give them the confidence to sign a long-term contract with your company. They appreciate the way you intently listen to them, asking intelligent questions.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21)

Having a job that excites your imagination is important. You’ve been blessed with a keen intellect. Doing the same duties day after day dulls your creative edge. Look for a position that requires you to think on your feet. Avoid start-up companies like the plague. Money is coming in at a slow, steady rate. Get into the habit of putting a percentage of your income into a savings account or pension plan. This nest egg will give you more personal and professional freedom.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20)

Don’t hesitate to enjoy the finer things in life. Instead of saving beautiful china and silverware for special occasions, use them every day. Rather than constantly cutting back on life’s little luxuries treat yourself. Splash out on exclusive fragrances and toiletries, too. Self-discipline helps you to overcome a bad habit. It’s easy to fall back into destructive patterns, but you will resist temptation. Every time you’re tempted to binge on junk food, eat a healthy snack. Your obsession with sugar or fat will soon subside.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19)

Improving your diet will give you more energy. It will also lift your spirits. Keep sugar, fat and alcohol to a minimum. Prepare meals that are mainly comprised of fresh produce, lean proteins and whole grains. Your body will flourish from giving it premium fuel. Don’t feel compelled to share your thoughts and feelings. In this era of reality television, people tend to give too much information. Maintaining an air of mystery will serve you better, both personally and professionally.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20)

A change of scenery is just what the doctor ordered. You’ll enjoy travelling with a fun-loving friend who loves luxury. Having company only doubles your pleasure. Let them talk you into splashing out on glamorous accommodation and gourmet meals. You’re overdue for a treat. A lasting friendship gives you the strength to face an intimidating challenge. Whenever your resolve starts to falter, turn to your loved one for support. They’ll know exactly what to say to overcome your fears.
