RUSSELL GRANT

ARIES March 21–April 20

Finding new ways to put your creative talents to good use will be fun. Good news received around noon will make you feel elated. You will want to share your happiness with the world. If any area of life has felt unsettled or uncertain, you should soon start to see happier days on the horizon.

TAURUS April 21-May 21

The need to keep your mind on family and financial matters shows no signs of easing. What is going on in the home needs constant supervision. If some tasks are taking longer than expected, don’t get annoyed with delays, as arguing will be a waste of energy.

GEMINI May 22-June 21

You’re keen to take on a challenge that stimulates you intellectually. This could be anything from a new hobby or interest to enrolling on a course at a college. Whatever it is, you will be in the mood to learn, and you are prepared to throw yourself in at the deep end if needs be.

CANCER June 22-July 23

There are clear signs your fortunes are improving. You will also benefit from positive influences behind the scenes. As life opens out, romantic and social relationships will start to blossom. You are also about to see some significant improvements in your family life.

LEO July 24-Aug 23

A desire to enjoy friendships and to get out into the world around you makes you keen to get involved in social events. There is excitement and eager anticipation as you prepare to fling yourself into group and community activities. Teamwork will be particularly fulfilling.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sept 23

You aren’t keen to let everyone hear what you have in mind for the future. Someone will accuse you of not being serious about your aims. On the contrary, you are carefully and quietly hatching a few plans in your mind, but until the time is right you want to keep things under wraps.

LIBRA Sept 24–Oct 23

Tact should be used if you are to avoid an argument today. Since you hate rows, you will be doing your best to choose your words very carefully when writing and speaking. Patience will help you deal with a problem that has been left unresolved for some time, so easy does it.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov22

Should you need any help or advice, don’t be reluctant to approach someone who you know will be able to guide you. People who matter are impressed by your ideas, and they will say so. If you are single and at the start of a relationship, take time deciding if you are compatible.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21

Loving gestures will work wonders in a close relationship. Make an extra effort to show appreciation. But a working relationship isn’t as reliable. Someone is expecting you to do their share of the work. Keep your wits about you as you don’t want to be made into a mug.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20

As tempting as it might seem to give up on what you are doing, persevere with the task in hand. You will be glad you did if you can get a frustrating job out of the way. It may well feel like for every step forward, you make two back, but there will be light at the end of this tunnel.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19

A neighbour’s life is a bit up in the air. You won’t want to be dragged into their concerns. Relationships at home are tense. Think before you speak, and nothing too damaging or problematic will come of this. A financial matter will be sorted out sooner than everyone thinks.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20

A friend or workmate’s gloomy company is starting to get you down. They are becoming increasingly negative in outlook, and you’re growing tired of their comments. If your attempts at lightening their outlook do not succeed, you may have to make your excuses and leave.
