Weekly horoscope from Russell Grant: What does each zodiac sign have in store this week?

ARIES (March 21st – April 20th)

There are dozens of things for you to do and you will cram as much as possible into your days. You want to do it all yourself but you will learn too through observing other people’s methods and listening to advice from those who are more experienced. A chance to improve your professional prospects may come your way soon and this could involve an educational or training course. Meetings and appointments will go a lot better than expected so long as you are well prepared.

TAURUS (April 21st – May 21st)

A perfect relationship is something you might often dream about but the reality is that most partnerships and friendships aren’t likely to meet our high expectations. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and since no one is perfect, there are going to be highs and lows. Any attempts made to improve your lifestyle are likely to meet with success. Somehow you will find the stamina to keep going and you will achieve the outcome you are secretly hoping for.

GEMINI (May 22nd – June 21st)

It might look as if you have exhausted all possibilities of a joint project but look again. Turn to something else and when you return, you will see it from a different perspective. This will give you extra mileage out of past joint efforts and new rewards from this partnership. You’re in touch with your spiritual side when dreams, heightened sensitivity or a feeling of deja vu makes you more aware of your intuition. Trust your instincts, particularly regarding your work.

CANCER (June 22nd – July 23rd)

Colleagues are helpful and friendly. Someone will offer to do you a favour without you even having to ask. Make the most of this sociable mood by mixing and mingling with people from other departments. It will be good for you to know what is going on elsewhere. A housemate will be slightly touchy but you can’t have it all. A decision you make could cause a rift in the family but eventually others will understand your reasoning. So remember: any conflict in the home will be temporary.

LEO (July 24th – August 23rd)

A big party will be lots of fun and will attract romantic interest. Cupid is working hard both on and off stage and it will be right there where a romance of substance is in the making. Confessing your feelings will trigger a passionate response. A neighbour or workmate will show interest in something you are working on and this could lead to a new joint commitment. Two heads are better than one and you will feel lucky you have each other to rely upon.

VIRGO (August 24th – September 23rd)

Someone you’re working with is too quick to jump to conclusions and their biased opinions are starting to annoy you. Their unwillingness to compromise could cause problems in the workplace. Don’t get drawn into a row. You could do with some time away from it all. A close relationship is on your mind and you need to give special consideration to changes you are thinking of making. Once you have decided what you want to do, you can discuss your thoughts with others.

LIBRA (September 24th – October 23rd)

You’re planning well into the future and you’re excited about ideas you have come up with. Discuss your thoughts with your partner. Taking their views into consideration will go a long way towards achieving romantic happiness. A skill you use in your job needs updating. You might be asked to enrol on a training course or to repeat a learning program to gain updated certificates. Keep your frustration under wraps if you feel this will be a waste of your valuable time.

SCORPIO (October 24th – November 22nd)

You aren’t sure about where you are going next and this makes you anxious. A work situation feels unsettled and there is talk of reduced hours or redundancies. Whatever the issue, there will be some good opportunities ahead. Someone will apologise after a recent argument. You might forgive them for hurting you but you will never forget their words. You have learned something from this experience and will feel more aware, too, of the impact of your own behaviour.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd – December 21st)

Be certain to follow through on commitments and promises. If you are making plans with a Taurus or Capricorn, they will take joint responsibilities very seriously. This person will be good at sticking to a schedule but this shouldn’t mean they are left to do all the work. Stepping into new areas will be quite unnerving but you can count on your Guardian Angel to lead the way. It won’t take long before you get accustomed to new situations. Excitement is in the air.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd – January 20th)

Your best friend is taking it for granted that you will go along with their ideas. You feel they are presuming too much but are you getting hold of the wrong end of the stick? If you rarely push yourself forward, what else can they do? Why don’t you make some arrangements for a change? Whenever you start wondering whether you made the right choices, stop and listen to your inner voice. You will know instinctively that what is happening now is important for your future.

AQUARIUS (January 21st – February 19th)

You might get the impression someone is hiding something from you. If you feel they haven’t been honest about an aspect of their past, do you really want to know the truth? It’s up to you to decide whether or not to ask more questions. You’re doing your best to reach a personal goal. Criticism from someone whose backing you had been hoping to receive isn’t helping. You will fare better by keeping out of this person’s way and working on your own.

PISCES (February 20th – March 20th)

You should take advantage of an unexpected opportunity. At the same time, this may mean postponing arrangements you had made with friends. If you feel you are letting someone down, explain your reasons. They will understand why you need to rearrange your priorities. Friendships and work relationships are getting better and better. You will never underestimate the importance of good social connections. Joining forces with a partner could make a shared dream come true.
