Your stars with Russell Grant

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Instead of trying to blend in with the crowd, you are content to gain distinction. People are impressed by your refusal to do what is expected of you. Instead of pursuing a sensible career and cultivating a pleasant life, you go to extremes. Taking up a spiritual practice brings welcome balance to your life. When you’re not blazing trails, it’s important to rest, relax and recharge your batteries. Constantly pushing the envelope will result in burnout. Give yourself a break.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Working with a partner will be enjoyable. You’ve got a gift for turning dreams into reality. By forming an alliance with a highly artistic person, you’ll get an opportunity to put your practical skills to work. You’ll become more creative as a result. A friend’s advice will sound condescending at first, but it is truly well meant. Let down your defences and make the suggested change. Releasing some anger and resentment will allow you to live the joyous life you deserve.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Taking care of your health is important. If you’re tired, overworked and anxious, you must reduce your work schedule. Making less money isn’t as distressing as developing a serious ailment. Once you feel better, it will be easy to attract the wealth you desire. A glamorous career opportunity is on the way. You’ll love occupying a prominent position at a company that is famous for its artistry. Don’t be surprised when you’re asked to serve as spokesperson for the latest big project.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You’re a love magnet. If you’re in a relationship, your amour won’t be able to keep their hands off you. This is a wonderful time to take a relaxing break together. Getting away from the pressures of home will reignite your mutual passion. If you’re single, you’ll meet someone special at a spiritual or cultural gathering. The object of your affection will make you experience depths of passion you didn’t know were possible. Abandon yourself to sensual pleasure; it’s transformative.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Caring for your nearest and dearest is a natural extension of your big heart. You have no problem making sacrifices for your family, whether it’s working long hours or doing without creature comforts. Because you’re so positive, you rarely must deprive yourself of luxury. Somehow, you manage to pay for lessons, medical treatment and holidays in addition to personal treats. Your family understands your devotion and adores you for it. They know you’ll always provide them with a soft place to land.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Are you worried about missing an educational opportunity? Sign up as early as possible for a course. The money you need to finance this learning opportunity will arrive when you need it. Working with an intense teacher will evoke passionate feelings of your own. You’re able to anticipate your best friend or romantic partner’s needs without saying a word. You’ve always been attentive to their desires, which is just one of the many reasons you have such a strong bond.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Cultivating financial prosperity is your priority. Take this opportunity to ask for a raise, increase your fees or pursue a more lucrative job. When you value yourself, it’s easy to get paid what you are worth. Stop all self-criticism and shower yourself with praise. You’ll find relief from a nagging ache or pain through an alternative healing therapy. Be open to trying acupressure, aromatherapy or homeopathy. Feeling good is what is important. It doesn’t matter what path you take to arrive at this destination.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You’re strong and you know it. This makes people frightened of you. They know you will not stop until you get what you want. Don’t look down on these timid people. Let them be reminders of your greatest gift: Self-confidence. Someone has fallen head over heels in love with you. While their attention is flattering, you’re not sure if you return it. After spending some time together, you’ll discover your admirer has hidden depths. Have fun uncovering them.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You’re a lot more sensitive than you appear. Behind your light-hearted image is a deeply caring person. You know that obsessing over troubling ideas and stories isn’t helpful. That’s why you work hard to project positive energy, even when your heart hurts. Home is a welcome haven from the stress of public life. Taking a few days off work to devote to domestic work will be calming. You’ll enjoy stocking the pantry, making comfort food and tidying your surroundings.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) The prospect of leading an ordinary life bores you to tears. Take this opportunity to do something spontaneous and daring. People will gasp with astonishment when you quit your job, move to another country or adopt a new lifestyle. You’ll enjoy causing this commotion. Be compassionate towards people in your community who are suffering. Although their behaviour mystifies you, it is rooted in a desperate attempt to feel better about a bad situation. Instead of complaining about the symptoms, find ways to deal with the problem.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You feel best when you bring order to chaos. Drawing on your managerial skills will ease everyone’s anxieties. They know they can depend on you to deal with problems logically. Anyone who insists on causing panic will be ejected from the premises. Raising money for a good cause makes you feel good. Call on your extensive social network for donations. When you promote a charity, other people take it seriously. They know you back projects that have a track record of success.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Are you tired of carrying out a predictable routine? Try something new. Book an overseas trip, begin work on a novel or enrol on an advanced course. Expanding your horizons will be a welcome change from drudgery. Ignore friends who say you’re being irresponsible. A vivid dream will inspire an art project. Devoting time each day to doing what gives you the most happiness and satisfaction will give you the contentment you feel often escapes you. You’re meant to bring beauty in the world. Stop getting in your own way.
