RUSSELL GRANT

ARIES March 21–April 20

A situation that has been causing a lot of tension will be resolved. You will feel a lot happier with changes that are now being proposed. Through putting yourself into new schemes or a volunteer exercise, you will be feeding an inner need to find a purpose.

TAURUS April 21-May 21

It may be through sharing views, ideas or knowledge, but you are ready to make a positive contribution towards a team effort. After quietly observing group activities from behind the scenes, you are no longer content to remain in the background. You want to help make a difference.

GEMINI May 22-June 21

You might stumble across new ways to make money on the side. Linking earning with a hobby will keep you stimulated and inspired, and when you see how successful this can be, don’t be surprised if it gives you a fresh outlook on life. A competitor will look on in envy.

CANCER June 22-July 23

A recent event that has caused a lot of people a lot of trouble is on your mind. You’re concerned about someone’s motives, but until you have spoken to them you will prefer to reserve judgement. You need to gather more information before you can take a view.

LEO July 24-Aug 23

If you take on too much you’re unlikely to get the best out of any one thing. Opportunities to socialise, travel and take up different interests are there for the taking. Be sure to use a degree of caution as you don’t want to find yourself having too many irons in the fire.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sept 23

Group activities will be more fun and exciting if you use your imagination. You might feel you can’t come up with any original thoughts or ideas. Don’t give up too soon. Let your mind wander. Join in fun conversations. You could be surprised by what you come up with.

Arguments really get you down, but sometimes there is no avoiding conflict. You feel like devoting more time to your social life, but someone in the family will accuse you of trying to shirk your domestic responsibilities. Arguments will seem to go round in circles.

SCORPIO

LIBRA Sept 24–Oct 23 SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov22

There will be shared advantages from pooling resources with someone you trust. If you have got yourself in a rut, agreeing a joint long-term venture will be uplifting. A romantic partner may not fully understand your need to give more time to a working partnership.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21

A family matter will be resolved without your intervention. Someone at home will deal with it quickly, so leave it to them. You have commitments you can’t get out of and don’t have time to waste over everyday issues that are bound to be forgotten about in time to come.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20

Your boss or a senior colleague will wonder whether your ideas are feasible. You can see how a number of areas of your life can be improved, and your thoughts are sensible and practical. Make sure you stick at things and show everyone what you are made of.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19

Routine tasks aren’t going to inspire your active mind. Equally, friends and colleagues can’t seem to keep up with your thinking. It may be that you will have to pursue some goals on your own. You have your own ideas, methods and approach to getting things done.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20

It will be worth looking further into the ideas you come up with for earning a little extra cash. A friend’s moodiness is starting to get you down. You can understand why they are feeling this way, but they need to snap out of it soon or you will be seeking out more cheerful company.
