RUSSELL GRANT

ARIES March 21–April 20

You are looking for a way to escape real world worries. A change of scenery would be the ideal solution. Failing this, doing some armchair travel could help you. Watch a movie that is set in an exotic locale. Or read a book that will transport you to exciting, far off places.

TAURUS April 21-May 21

Things are going in the direction you are hoping for and yet you feel stuck. You’re trying to get one step ahead of others who are heading towards the same goal. Even if it’s just a small idea you need a plan in place in order to feel you are keeping up with those around you.

GEMINI May 22-June 21

You will find it especially rewarding working with younger people in the community. Their energy and high spirits will be infectious. Group activities will give people a reassuring sense of security. Don’t be surprised if you are asked to take the helm of a volunteer effort.

CANCER June 22-July 23

Connect with others even if it is through technology. Even when you cannot meet people face to face, you should keep the communication going. Forge new friendships on social media and this will help ease any loneliness. Conversations within the family will lift your spirits.

LEO July 24-Aug 23

It is proving to be impossible to complete tasks to a strict deadline. Don’t panic if you miss a due date and don’t feel guilty. You have a lot on your plate and unreliable colleagues are dumping more on you. Explain what is going on. Those in charge will understand your situation.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sept 23

People do respect your hard-working ethic. It will take time and effort but you have the ability to land a better-paying job with a more prominent title. If you are interviewing for a position, promote your communication skills and you will make a very good impression.

LIBRA Sept 24–Oct 23

Keeping feelings bottled up inside is not doing your health any good. Relationships are also suffering because you aren’t being open with each other. Talking about your concerns and discussing hopes for the future will feel liberating. As relationships improve, you will feel happier.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov22

You’re good at delving into issues to find the root of the problem. People appreciate this. You aren’t as adept a negotiator when fickle and argumentative people frustrate you. Admit your shortcomings and let someone who has more patience be the one to promote peace and harmony.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21

A youngster in the family is looking to you for guidance and encouragement. Be generous with your praise. At this stage in their life, it’s important to encourage them to push themselves. You should give them this chance to enjoy the experience of basking in their successes.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20

You didn’t think twice about offering a friend in need your time, resources and regular loans. Now they have the resources to cover their obligations, they’re conspicuous by their absence. You could do with them paying you back. If they don’t listen it may be necessary to threaten legal action.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19

More work is being heaped on to your plate when you already have enough to do. Meetings and deadlines are crowding your calendar. Start delegating jobs to workmates and housemates if things are getting too much for you. It’s important everyone starts to do their share.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20

You don’t have to follow another person’s example if you feel you can do a better job. By taking charge you will set the agenda. You will be demonstrating your expertise in a way that makes everyone sit up and take notice. Once you have chosen this path, you will feel empowered.
