Stars

For the week 11 – 17 February, with Russell Grant

AQUARIUS

21 January – 19 February Encouragement from family and friends will give Aquarians like Heart Radio and Britain’s Got Talent presenter, Amanda Holden, and ex- DoctorWho star, Christopher Eccleston, the confidence to take up a variety of new challenges. Don’t be afraid to try something different.

GEMINI

22 May – 21 June You will enjoy getting together with people who share a serious interest in doing what they can to help others. Working for a volunteer organisation will be rewarding as collectively you find ways to help vulnerable members of your community. Leading a fundraiser will bring out the best in you.

VIRGO

24 August – 23 September Your partner or best friend will match you in your eagerness to experiment and try new things. An older relative will not be so amused. Despite what other people might say about your choices and decisions, don’t allow yourself to be influenced by their words. It’s your life and you should do what you want.

SAGITTARIUS

23 November – 21 December Plans for a project you are hoping to launch are ready. Ideas have been discussed for too long and someone who is a stickler for detail is holding back progress. It is time to set the wheels in motion or this venture will never get off the ground. An impetuous move will work to your advantage.

ARIES

21 March – 20 April Careful thought about a family matter could lead to some changes within the home. If you’re worried about a relative who has been struggling with a health problem, you aren’t interfering by arranging some care for them. Discussions in the family circle are important. Someone may need to visit a legal expert.

CANCER

22 June – 23 July Someone has been taking advantage of your good nature. Their refusal to do you a favour is proof that they would rather take than give. Resist the temptation to bottle up your emotions. You need to speak your mind and if you don’t do this now, it will come spilling out anyway later in the month.

LIBRA

24 September – 23 October Private concerns might suffer due to increased work and social responsibilities. You have a big decision to make and you need to feel sure that you’re doing the right thing. A first date will go well if you see each other on Valentine’s Day. Do you already have a partner? Your wish is their command.

CAPRICORN

22 December – 20 January Don’t think twice if you feel a need to bow out of a potentially risky venture. Someone who cares for you will be relieved by this decision. A friend or neighbour is hoping you will give them some advice. You’re reluctant to get involved as this would mean taking sides between two people you are fond of.

TAURUS

21 April – 21 May An adventurous friend will try to persuade you to join them on an impromptu trip. Although you are tempted, this will go against your desire to keep to your original plans. It won’t come easily to let duty take a back seat and you would rather have something to anticipate than take off on the spur of the moment.

LEO

24 July – 23 August Your powerful charisma will attract new people your way if you are single. Someone feels almost hypnotised by your presence. Push yourself to ask them on a date. Prospects for passion will increase on Valentine’s Day. If you already have a partner, keep plans flexible. Be spontaneous in romance.

SCORPIO

24 October – 22 November Job, family and social commitments keep you on your toes. Despite all the time you’re spending with your family and friends, put time aside for romance. If you are single, an unexpected offer could pave the way for a passionate encounter. You’ve earned the right to let your hair down at the weekend.

PISCES

20 February – 20 March You’re anticipating a generally happy, friendly and active week ahead and you won’t be disappointed. Your partner or best friend will be just as keen to put new ideas into practice as no one wants these plans to go to waste. Working with an unusual group of people will inspire you.
