Your stars with Russell Grant

with Russell Grant For the week 11-17 December

CAPRICORN 22 December – 20 January

Be open to new experiences. Travel will take you to areas you’ve never been to before. Getting away from familiar places will help you move past some personal challenges and, by looking at life from different perspectives, you will feel your vision expanding. Forging a new path will yield impressive results.

AQUARIUS 21 January – 19 February

You have an eye for a bargain, and an early Christmas shopping jaunt will be fun. You feel more in control and you’ve made a great start on your festive preparations. A fundraising project will bring fulfilment, and donating time and energy to a cause close to your heart will be empowering.

PISCES 20 February – 20 March

Someone has been spreading false rumours, and it’s time the truth was told. This person should stop gossiping in the future. People are starting to realise that you know what you’re talking about and, if a friend doubted your abilities, you will prove your ideas are both practical and beneficial.

ARIES 21 March – 20 April

Joint activities put into motion will have pleasing consequences later in the month. New, interesting social experiences will lift your spirits and boost your romantic prospects. A party will bring everyone together in a festive spirit. Are you single? Make the most of this chance to widen your social circle.

TAURUS 21 April – 21 May

You know your own mind, and you know what will bring you happiness. Your sustained attempts to win someone’s heart prove you are certain about what’s in yours. By Christmas, they will have let down their defences. If you already have a romantic partner, find new ways to show how much you love them.

GEMINI 22 May – 21 June

While you and a partner are in tune with each other’s wishes and fantasies, take this chance to make romantic plans for the festive season. Giving careful thought to creative interests and possible new hobbies will prove rewarding. If you’re single, then it might be time to return someone’s flirtatious glances.

CANCER 22 June – 23 July

The reason you’re throwing yourself into a particularly challenging project is because you’re sure you can handle it. An older relative might accuse you of biting off more than you can chew, but you are determined to prove them wrong. Fun friendship activities will cause your confidence to soar.

LEO 24 July – 23 August

Your cheerful mood is infectious, and your charisma is stronger than ever. Friends will vie for your time and attention and you will attract friendship and creative opportunities wherever you go. An early Christmas celebration with work colleagues could see companionship blossoming out of a professional relationship.

VIRGO 24 August – 23 September

Commitment comes easily when you are joining forces with someone who is mentally and spiritually compatible. Whether you have been together forever or your relationship has just begun, it will be fun to spring surprises on each other. A festive get-together will bring money-making opportunities.

LIBRA 24 September – 23 October

You’re growing tired of the same old romantic schedule, and this would be the perfect time to add a little spice to your relationship. Encourage your lover to be more spontaneous and adventurous. Single? You could meet someone special at a concert or play. You feel ready for new social journeys.

SCORPIO 24 October – 22 November

Devoting more time to romance and friendship will be worth the effort. A new approach to group ties will bring you greater happiness. Attend a child’s recital or performance, as your presence means more to them than you realise. Making life easier for others is a worthy ambition.
