Your stars with Russell Grant

The right person will come along when you’re ready. Family life is enjoyable. When you feel discouraged, reach out to your nearest and dearest. They’ll remind you how utterly fabulous you are. With their support, it will be easy to take a personal risk you’ve been considering for a long time.

Best of all, your duties will make you feel productive, valued and useful. Waking up will be a source of joy again.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20)
