Your stars with Russell Grant

For the week 5 – 11 September

ARIES 21 March – 20 April

Suppressing emotions is not conducive to harmony. Is it time to air your feelings? Once people know what you’re thinking, they will be more honest with you. Friends aren’t unwilling to change their minds, but they can’t read yours, so speak out.

TAURUS 21 April – 21 May

Don’t be surprised when strangers approach you for help. People feel comfortable in your presence and are attracted to your natural friendliness. The social scene will be lively, and you’re feeling lucky – keen to make the most of all that life has to offer.

GEMINI 22 May – 21 June

Long-term goals need to be revised to suit new developments. A new partner, or change in an existing relationship, means you must adapt to situations you hadn’t planned. Be ready to compromise for the sake of loved ones and you’ll rekindle the passion.

CANCER 22 June – 23 July

A childhood dream is within your grasp. You should be pleased with the progress you are making. Your social life is fun and exciting, too. However, your best friend or lover is feeling neglected. Put a little time aside to devote to them and keep them smiling.

LEO 24 July – 23 August

Partnered? Your amour is in the mood to experiment. Join in, and your love life will improve dramatically. Single? It’s a good time to make a few cosmetic changes or try out a new hairstyle. If a party’s pending, buy a special outfit for the occasion.

LIBRA 24 September – 23 October

Confidence and optimism are on the rise. You feel good about life and relationships now. It will come instinctively to you how to respond most positively to others. It’s an exciting phase – you might decide to launch a blog or join a new social network site.

SCORPIO 24 October – 22 November

You wish you could be in two places at once! Everyone wants you on their team. Your generous frame of mind prompts you to do something special for a friend. Don’t be surprised when someone gets a romantic twinkle in their eye over you.

SAGITTARIUS 23 November – 21 December

You are in your element working on a group project. The more outgoing side of your nature shines through, and you will have no trouble expressing your thoughts and feelings. Single? Forming a new relationship will bring more variety into your days.

CAPRICORN 22 December – 20 January

There’s a sense of urgency to everything you do, but don’t let this make you careless. Read all letters and emails when they arrive. Arrangements with a close friend could involve an impromptu meeting and the results will take you both down a new path.

AQUARIUS 21 January – 19 February

It’s a good time for action related to dreams, feelings and aspirations. Spend some time reflecting on what you really want from life, then set yourself achievable targets. If you’ve been a little aimless lately, you’ll feel more positive once you have a goal.

PISCES 20 February – 20 March

You are bubbling with creative energy and ideas. Friends are honest and open and, if there has been discord in the past, now they’re prepared to meet you halfway. A surprise cheque could arrive just when you were wondering how to pay a big bill.
