Your stars with Russell Grant

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Cold, calculating behaviour will drive romance from your door. You might think pulling power plays is attractive, but the object of your affection feels rather differently. If you’re going to win their heart, you should show your vulnerable side. It’s one of your best qualities. An unexpected moneymaking opportunity will fall in your lap. Accept an opportunity to learn how to write computer code, operate a software programme or use a piece of hi-tech equipment. Your income will increase dramatically after acquiring this knowledge.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Clinging to the one you love will cause resentment. When your other half wants to assert their independence, be supportive. By showing faith in them, they’ll remain true to you. If you feel lonely, immerse yourself in a hobby. Making art always lifts your spirits. Changing your look will also give you a new lease on life. This is a great time to take a long, hard look at yourself and maybe alter your hairstyle, add fashionable items to your wardrobe or update your attitudes and ambitions. You’ll be very pleased with the results.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) This isn’t a good time to be financially extravagant. Keep your hard-earned cash in the bank, where it will be safe. Having an economic cushion will give you more freedom in the professional arena. It will allow you to pick and choose what you put your energy and expertise into. Spending more time on solitary pursuits will keep you grounded. You’ve always been a social butterfly. At times, you give too much weight to friends’ opinions. Turn your attention inward for the answers you seek. Be guided by intuition, not logic.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Staying in a bad mood will drive a wedge between you and your best friend. Happiness is an inside job. Instead of obsessing over everything that is going wrong, count your blessings. Once you get started, more and more advantages will occur to you. Joining a new group will be stimulating. You gravitate towards members who are willing to put a modern spin on traditional ways. Together, you’ll create a system that makes more sense for present day life.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Resist the temptation to stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. Respecting someone’s privacy will pave the way for the close relationship you want. You’re dealing with someone who has been hurt. It will take time to earn their trust. Be patient. A changing of the guard at work will create an unexpected opportunity for advancement. Be ready to apply for a position that has been recently occupied by a stuffy traditionalist. You’ll be a wonderful breath of fresh air.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) When your self-esteem is low, take extra care with your appearance. Wear something that is both comfortable and attractive. If you’re dissatisfied with your wardrobe, splash out on new clothes. Ask a tasteful Libra to direct you to the best looks. Studying with a visionary will give you hope for the future. You’re tired of being held back by limiting beliefs that were imposed on you as a child. Be willing to release these convictions for a belief system that fills you with hope.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Carry out a promise you made when you were much less busy. Although you have a full plate, that doesn’t justify backing out of a deal at this juncture. Remember this situation the next time someone asks for a favour. Your schedule fills quickly. A surprising windfall will hit your bank account. Use this money to indulge in some creature comforts. A new mattress, fluffy towels, a bewitching bottle of scent and some gourmet cookware will fill you with delight.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) It’s time to confront an aggressive youngster or romantic partner. You’re extremely tolerant of loved ones, but there is a limit to even your approval. Calmly explain that you will not be treated with disrespect. If this behaviour continues, there will be consequences. Working with a highly independent person will be interesting. No matter what you do or say, you will not be able to change their ways. By providing this innovator with a stable work environment, you’ll produce great work together.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) A loud, overpowering colleague is getting on your nerves. There’s nothing you can do to change their behaviour; you can only adjust your own attitude. Make a game out of noticing this pest’s finer qualities. It will be difficult at first. Persist. An exciting employment opportunity will come through a friend or professional organisation. Don’t worry if you lack experience in this field. You have many skills that can be easily applied to this new opportunity. The work will be both financially rewarding and intellectually stimulating.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Are you bored to tears? It’s time to get some intellectual stimulation. Taking an educational course will be lots of fun, especially if the subject is totally unrelated to work. The more varied your interests, the happier you are. You are no one trick pony. You’ve been blessed with tremendous creative talent. Take this opportunity to learn about the latest technical innovations involving your favourite medium. A computer programme or electronic gadget will greatly increase your output. Don’t scoff at modern conveniences.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Someone is coming on strong and you don’t like it. Be clear that you have no intention of falling in love at this stage of your relationship. If you’re going to develop tender feelings for anyone, you must begin as friends. A home improvement project will go more smoothly than expected. It helps that you have hired a competent professional. Thanks to their expertise and vision, your surroundings will be comfortable and attractive. Throw a big party to celebrate.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Don’t feel pressured to lay all your cards on the table. Keeping a few secrets will give you a mysterious air that is most attractive. You’re not the type who wants to be in the spotlight constantly. Retreating from public view excites your imagination. Listen to your intuition regarding a personal transformation. If you’re unhappy with your current lifestyle, you should make a change. Move to your favourite part of the world, adopt a new name or alter your appearance.
