Your stars

For the week 27 July - 2 August, with Russell Grant

LEO

24 July – 23 August

Leos like former

Game of Thrones and

Aquaman star Jason Momoa, and former Love Islander

Eyal Booker, might be feeling their freedom is being impinged upon when other people are expecting too much from them. Setting and keeping boundaries is invaluable in these circumstances.

SCORPIO

24 October

– 22 November Friends look to you for leadership. You know how to bring out the best in people and the emotional rewards of taking charge will be significant. It will mean a lot to you to be able to give someone lacking in confidence the reassurance they need. This is your chance to change someone else’s life for the better.

AQUARIUS

21 January

– 19 February Private concerns might suffer due to increased responsibility. You may have to take on more than one role to cover for absent colleagues. This will be exhausting and although you don’t resent the situation too much, your health is important too. Make plans to take a break and think twice before taking on anything new.

TAURUS

21 April – 21 May Embarking on a new exercise programme will prove to be invigorating. Regular exercise along with nutritious food will strengthen your body. Investing in your health will pay off in surprising ways. You will be able to fit into clothes you’ve always admired. This is your chance to splash out on the latest fashions.

VIRGO

24 August

– 23 September You have a lot of catching up to do. Before starting anything new you want to clear away a few odds and ends. Other people have different ideas. Stick to your own plans or they will try to take over. Be ready to take on a new career role as an unexpected opportunity to branch out comes your way.

SAGITTARIUS

23 November

– 21 December Travel to a destination known for its natural beauty will lift your spirits. You and your partner will both enjoy this chance to explore the flora and fauna of an unfamiliar place. In group situations you will gain the most support by being diplomatic but determined in your intention to bring about mutual goals.

PISCES

20 February

– 20 March Teamwork is better than going it alone. You are one of the most valued members of a team. This is a great time to put forward ideas for expansion or new endeavours. Your skills and proven talents will lend weight to your proposals. In addition to this, your vibrant outlook will attract many admirers.

GEMINI

22 May – 21 June Your intuition will serve you well. You know where you are going, and you sense the best way to get there. You are master of your own destiny. Personal aims are starting to take shape as you build a life that allows you to pursue your favourite hobbies. Working on an art or creative project will be productive.

LIBRA

24 September

– 23 October

In a group event, behind-the-scenes activity will be surprisingly rewarding. Romantic developments fill you with happiness. Quality moments spent with your partner will remind you of how lucky you are. Are you single? A new relationship will fill a gap in your life. Get out and mix with different people.

CAPRICORN

22 December

– 20 January

A friend’s strange sense of humour will keep you intrigued as they can make even the most routine chore seem interesting and fun. News on Wednesday will bring changes for the better, although a fair amount of work will be called for. There will be a chance to help with a charity or fundraising event as the week ends.

ARIES

21 March – 20 April You’re so sensitive, friends will wonder whether you are psychic. You can sense what it feels like to be in another person’s shoes. Being able to tune into the mood of those around you means you can give the help they need when they need it. You might even postpone some of your own plans to help out a friend or neighbour.

CANCER

22 June – 23 July You could never walk away from a friend in need. You will bend over backwards for someone who has become reliant on your support – but are they expecting too much from you? You can’t devote every spare moment of your life to other people. It might be time to remind yourself of this. Find ways to let the stress flow away.
