RUSSELL GRANT

Aries

March 21–April 20

If you’re spending too long dwelling on disappointments, now is the time to break the pattern. Find other ways to spend your time. Somehow you may have got bogged down with boring routines. You need to find activities that capture your imagination. Set yourself a goal and work towards it.

Taurus

April 21 – May 21

Once you respond to an offer recently received, change will happen. You already know what you have to do. You can’t keep other people hanging on any longer and although you’d rather stick with what’s familiar, someone is waiting for an answer. It is time for a leap of faith and time to take a risk.

Gemini

May 22 –June 21

A supportive partner will encourage you to develop your creative talent. You will enjoy activities that give you the chance to put a special skill into practise. It’s a great time to promote new ventures and reach decisions that will bring future benefits. Be sure to thank everyone who offers support.

Cancer

June 22 –July 23

Diving into a pile of work is the best way to get ahead. If you’re overwhelmed with responsibility, don’t hesitate to delegate duties to roommates, colleagues and friends. You might have a mountain of things to get through but this shouldn’t stop you including pleasurable pastimes in the mix.

Leo

July 24 – August 23

Instead of splashing out on luxuries, challenge yourself to stretch existing resources as far as they can go. It’s a great day to go bargain hunting, especially if you are a collector. Adding a special item to a cherished collection will fill you with pleasure. Networking is important to your success.

Virgo

Aug 24 – Sept 23

Hypersensitivity can drive a wedge between you and a loved one. Baggage you are carrying from your childhood needs to be unloaded. Recognise how hidden fears are holding you back or keeping you from realising your true potential. Face up to past hang-ups and let them go.

Libra

Sept 24–Oct 23

Someone’s naive attitude to a problem that needs a realistic approach is starting to annoy you. Nothing will be resolved if people can’t be serious. You might feel as if this person takes a strange approach to life in general and no matter how hard you try, you will never understand them.

Scorpio

Oct 24 – Nov 22

It’s hard to be patient with people who are incompetent. You may have to gear yourself down to deal with a certain colleague’s mistakes. Work progresses in a series of fits and starts and this is all down to someone’s carelessness. An old friend will welcome your company if you can find the time.

Sagittarius

Nov 23 – Dec 21

Refuse to discuss your private life with a nosy neighbour or relative. If someone tries to intrude on your privacy, tell them to go away. An important job could be held back because of a minor but important detail. Under the circumstances it will take a big effort for you to stay calm.

Capricorn

Dec 22 –Jan 20

You know you can avoid making mistakes by taking a cautious approach to your work. Unfortunately, a colleague is not as careful. It may be up to you to rectify another person’s error. Some gentle exercise can bring relief. Having an outlet for your frustration will make you feel better.

Aquarius

Jan 21 – Feb 19

If you’re hoping for more financial freedom, make a plan to pay off your debts. Trust your instincts when it comes to money matters. No matter how much cash you are lending or spending, an intuitive hunch will be right on the money. Selling unwanted items can also be profitable.

Pisces

Feb 20 – Mar 20

Are you looking for work? A friend or neighbour could point you in the right direction. Good opportunities could come through social contacts. Use this to the best advantage. A group project could attract opportunities. You can also expect some interesting developments in romance.
