Your Stars with Russell Grant

For the week 12-18 June

CANCER 22 June – 23 July

Private matters keep you in the background. Be careful who you discuss problems with – you don’t want people knowing your personal business who might use it to their advantage. But don’t keep secrets from people who are involved in your daily life.

LEO 24 July – 23 August

Be on your guard for hidden rivals if in a position of leadership. The last thing you need is an envious person breaking your stride. After trying to block your progress, a competitor will finally give up. Your time will be well spent guarding your own interests.

VIRGO 24 August – 23 September

A friend might ask you a strange question. Word your reply carefully, as it will be influential. Going on a long journey will be fun – just make a point of confirming all travel arrangements before setting off, then look forward to leaving your troubles behind.

LIBRA 24 September – 23 October

A new relationship is going strong, and you’ll want to include both new and old friends in your busy life. A celebration is under way, and a relative has good news. The pleasure you take in the good fortune of others is one of the sweetest things about you.

SCORPIO 24 October – 22 November

If you’re going abroad or planning a long-distance journey, doublecheck the arrangements. Have you left plenty of time between arrivals and departures? You may feel anxious about the journey, so don’t add to your stress by being ill-prepared.

SAGITTARIUS 23 November – 21 December

You’re motivated and hungry for success. You have huge potential, and friends and workmates are amazed by your progress. An influential executive will put in a good word for you if you need some help. Keep pushing and you’ll come out on top.

CAPRICORN 22 December – 20 January

An offered opportunity will seem too good to miss. If you want to excel in a certain field, don’t miss this chance to enhance your knowledge or revitalise old skills. A meeting with a top executive will give you food for thought, but can you trust them?

AQUARIUS 21 January – 19 February

You shouldn’t take the success of a group project for granted. Things have been going well, but it isn’t the right time to drop your guard. Some people are quick to celebrate, but there may be a few hurdles to overcome before this venture is complete.

PISCES 20 February – 20 March

Some situations will involve a quick change of plans, and you may need to be flexible. It might come as a complete surprise, but changing course can have positive consequences. Instead of expecting the worst, start hoping for the best.

ARIES 21 March – 20 April

Something is on your mind. You haven’t discussed it with anyone, but a friend or partner will pick up on it, maybe even sensing what you are worried about. You’ll be glad of their perception. A sensitive situation is brought out in the open.

TAURUS 21 April – 21 May

Make a serious attempt to reach an ‘impossible’ goal. Involve friends and colleagues and accept any help offered. Your weaknesses may be someone else’s strengths, or vice versa. Making headway in a close relationship will uplift and inspire you.
