Stars with Russell Grant
For the week 10-16 July
LEO 24 July – 23 August
Sometimes, life interferes with the best-laid plans. You may have to break a promise or take time off work to deal with a difficult situation, but people will understand there is nothing else you can do. Spending time with a pet will lift your spirits.
VIRGO 24 August – 23 September
A prominent person who enters your social circle seems to expect everyone to go along with them. You’ve never been the type to fake friendships – others may put this person on a pedestal, but you would rather give respect to those who deserve it.
LIBRA 24 September – 23 October
A new course of study could make you realise you have been selling yourself short. New qualifications might set you on an international career path. Stay open to new ideas, especially regarding work and education, and enjoy expanding your horizons.
SCORPIO 24 October – 22 November
Keep pitching bright ideas – your innovative suggestions could land you the job of a lifetime. If you’re happy where you are, ask for a promotion. You deserve some form of reward for your loyalty and hard work. With effort, you may have immediate success.
SAGITTARIUS 23 November – 21 December
Making a positive impression on people who can help further your interests is easier than you realise – just be yourself! Your energy, enthusiasm and witty talk could charm anyone. It’s a great time to attend parties, workshops and conferences.
CAPRICORN 22 December – 20 January
You might be unsure about a new partner’s feelings for you. A heartto-heart talk will ease your mind – love and respect can be expressed in many different ways, not all of them obvious. Stop looking for signs of trouble: build on your strengths.
AQUARIUS 21 January – 19 February
Travel plans could prove a welcome diversion from work and petty problems. Having something to plan and look forward to will help you push aside your worries. Use this trip to put personal and professional problems in perspective.
PISCES 20 February – 20 March
You’ve earned a break. If you decide to take a day off, turn a deaf ear to a colleague’s teasing remarks – no reason to feel guilty about a little pampering! Splash out on a gourmet meal, new clothes or jewellery. There’s more to life than work and sacrifice.
ARIES 21 March – 20 April
You’re about to develop a whole new set of interests. A new sport or pastime could bring excitement. Your favourite hobbies lift your spirits, and whatever you begin this week will take off at the speed of light. Your adventurousness could lead to romance.
TAURUS 21 April – 21 May
You spend so much time worrying about other people’s needs that you neglect your own. For a change, let your friends wait on you. You could use some TLC, so why not indulge your sensual side? Get a massage or a spa treatment, or schedule a day of leisure.
GEMINI 22 May – 21 June
You’re blessed with an impressive imagination, and your creative ideas will win you points with people in power. Your willingness to try anything once makes you shine with excitement. A travel or moneymaking offer could fall into your lap. Snap it up!
