RUSSELL GRANT

ARIES March 21–April 20

Even if it’s just a day’s trip, you would welcome the chance to get away from it all, preferably with someone special. Any contests or competitions you take part in will need a fast response and will appeal to your quick mind. You’re on the right track as far as your mental attitude is concerned.

TAURUS April 21-May 21

This seems to be a time for change and adjustment. Before too long you will be surprised by how easy it has been both for yourself and others to slip into new routines. Even so, this will not stop you from feeling nervous – and nervousness could cause stomach upsets or headaches.

GEMINI May 22-June 21

If you’re looking for a job change, think about looking in places you had not thought about in the past. Taking up some form of training or gaining another qualification could open up a new world you had not previously considered. You are prepared for an unusually demanding day.

CANCER June 22-July 23

There is a hint of sadness. Someone is preparing for a long-journey. You’re missing them already even though they haven’t gone yet. There’s nothing preventing you from keeping in regular touch and you will understand their need to broaden their knowledge and horizons.

LEO July 24-Aug 23

Before making a big decision that will involve a lot of change, consult everyone who might be affected by this. It would be good to be able to do what you want but when there are others involved, someone could be more interested in having a say in this than you first thought.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sept 23

Don’t feel guilty about ditching evening arrangements. Whether it involves a glamorous event or visiting friends and neighbours, at the end of this long and tiring day, the last thing you will feel like doing is going out for the night. A cosy twosome evening would be your idea of bliss.

LIBRA Sept 24–Oct 23

Your thoughts are going round in circles. This is getting you nowhere and with your mind elsewhere you aren’t even noticing the opportunities springing up around you. A cash prize will feel like a dream come true. A reconciliation is likely after a recent break-up.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov22

A relative or housemate seems indifferent to your feelings. This will be upsetting when you have always shown them concern and consideration. You’re being careful with finances but if you feel like giving yourself a treat and you can afford to do so, this will lift your spirits. SAGITTARIUS

Nov 23-Dec 21

A partner has always been open about their long-term aims. You may not have shared their hopes but if you can make a wish come true for them, you will do what you can to help. A new partnership agreement will put money in your pocket – it’s a really nice arrangement. CAPRICORN

Dec 22-Jan 20

You sense it will be important to keep in with the crowd that you are mixing with. Be sure to wear something distinctive to an important event. You will find it easier to be sociable when you know you look good and stand out. In business, continue to be scrupulously honest.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19

The day will be erratic. Meetings and appointments are suddenly re-arranged. A housemate’s strange behaviour will cause problems in the home. Double check details yourself before agreeing to long-term arrangements. Evening hours will be filled with lively company.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20

There’s some tension in one of your close relationships and this will centre around someone who is making mountains out of molehills. You will be expected to take sides but the last thing you will want is to be drawn any further into this drama. Make your excuses and get out of the way if you can.
