RUSSELL GRANT

ARIES

March 21–April 20

Meeting challenges head-on will save time and money in the long-term. Problems will occur in your effort to push on with projects begun earlier in the year. Objections should not be dismissed too readily. Someone else’s observations could provide answers to problems.

TAURUS April 21-May 21

You can’t help feeling a little sceptical about family arrangements. These plans have been on the cards for a while but something always happens to interfere. You sense things are going to be postponed again and wondering if this will ever come about. All you can do is wait.

GEMINI May 22-June 21

Text messages and phone calls will distract you from what is going on around you. Your mind is buzzing with plans and ideas but this could equally make you inattentive. It might be a good idea right now to pay more attention to what is going on in your immediate environment.

CANCER June 22-July 23

Be wary about commenting when a friend openly discusses their financial secrets. Sometimes it is better not to get involved with other people’s private business especially if a third party is concerned. If you have outside arrangements, be sure to leave early in case of delays.

LEO July 24-Aug 23

You can see the benefits of letting some areas of your life unfold unexpectedly. A dramatic shift in circumstances will cause some people uncertainty and confusion. You feel some areas of your life were ready for a shake-up. You are ready for this change and will embrace it.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sept 23

New routines are underway. These will have something to do with recent developments which spell change and uncertainty. You will wonder at times, whether it is all going to be worth it. Cast aside negative thoughts. Keep telling yourself there will be benefits once everything is organised.

LIBRA

Sept 24–Oct 23

If a key person pulls out of a new project or venture, be sure to ask yourself why. Have they discovered something you haven’t been told about? What is it that is causing them to change their mind? Secrets hang in the air making this a less than ideal time to take drastic steps.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov22

A team effort needs to be handled with plenty of tact and diplomacy. This gently does it approach will help you avoid controversy. As well as keeping the atmosphere sweet, you will also be helping to stop colleagues from bickering with each other. However, keep your eyes wide open.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21

A friend’s interest in your personal business is starting to annoy you. They’re trying to be helpful but in asking so many questions their concern feels more like interference. Instead of confiding in them you will be doing your best to avoid them as you want to be left alone.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20

Speculation is not a good idea. Swift decisions will be regretted as you won’t have had time to check out all the facts. The antics of someone who is close to you will upset you but you will keep your lips tightly sealed. Deal with mundane matters until a tense situation has blown over.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19

It should come as a pleasant surprise to find that a job you had been dreading tackling won’t actually be as bad in reality as it was in your imagination. Or it may just be that you’ve been able to do little bits over the past few days that will make it easier for you to complete.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20

A meaningful conversation with an older relative will give you answers to queries you have always had about your family’s past. In a roundabout way, you will find this oddly comforting. It may be that suspicions you have always had will be confirmed. There is plenty love and affection around.
