RUSSELL GRANT

ARIES March 21–April 20

It doesn’t matter if you are supposed to be getting on with other things, you’ll prefer to spend time with friends whose company makes you laugh and feel uplifted. You won’t let other responsibilities prey on your conscience. You have done enough recently to deserve to take a break.

TAURUS April 21-May 21

An invitation to take off somewhere on the spur of the moment will provide a moment’s temptation. You will pause and consider all you have to return to and when there is work that must be done that cannot really be ignored, you might turn down the offer as tempting as it may be.

GEMINI May 22-June 21

The accent remains on joint matters. You and a partner may need to iron out a few creases of a joint issue and although you are expecting arguments, you should be pleased with how cooperative others turn out to be. A young relative will have everyone eating out of the palm of their hands.

CANCER June 22-July 23

You might regret having entered into a joint deal but it is done and you are committed. Matters that are still outstanding should receive your full attention before they get out of control. It will be necessary to find a compromise in some areas but keep at it until you do.

LEO July 24-Aug 23

Friends who know you well might wonder whether you are ill when you are staying well away from the limelight. You might even miss a social do you had been looking forward to but your priorities now lie in planning for your long-term future and that’s exactly what you intend to do.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sept 23

Agreeing to deliver a message or to do someone a favour will take you to different surroundings. This could lead to you noticing doors now opening up for you which were previously firmly closed. You will be glad of the excuse to take a break from the usual monotony of daily life.

LIBRA Sept 24–Oct 23

There’s a wonderful sociable feel in the air. Business and pleasure mix well. Fortunate influences will bring interesting romantic prospects into your life if you are single. You may need to throw off your cautious attitude and meet someone who is equally hesitant, half way.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov22

Family and friends will encourage you to act on your bright ideas. Your mind is conjuring up ways to utilise projects you are working on to fall in with home and family plans too. The need to weigh benefits versus cost and effort involved will not deter you from your intentions.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21

With so much having been going on, taking a break from outside responsibilities will be a relief. Domestic routines like cooking and cleaning will actually bring you a sense of stability. Better still, find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed where you can relax and reflect.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20

Whereas when lately you may have been reluctant to return home to face the tension that has been building up between family members, it feels good to know problems have been resolved. You feel almost eager now to join your family in a new venture that will involve you all.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19

Knowing you can trust partners in business and romance completely makes you feel confident in the knowledge the joint plans you make together will be successful. Honesty and integrity are at the roots of the most important relationships in your life.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20

Life sparkles with excitement. Events that allow you to mix and mingle with many people will be the ones that attract you most. Are you single? Be sure to wear something special to a social gathering. Someone will want to know what makes you tick. Keep them guessing.
