Here is what Russell Grant has had to say for this week's reading.

Aries 
There is something on your mind to do with an investment or speculative venture. Do you take a risk or do you walk away? In the end the decision will be yours but take care not to be lured by someone’s false promises. 

Taurus 
You may not be feeling very sociable. At the end of some tiring and demanding days the last thing you will want is to have to dress up and go out. Attending a glamorous social event might sound like hard work if you have to keep up polite conversation and mind your p’s and q’s. 

Gemini 
There is some contention in the air. You will speak up and support what someone is saying but only if you agree with them. If what they are asking for or voting against isn’t worth the trouble they are causing, you will walk away. 

Cancer 
An argument that makes you uncomfortable will prey on your mind. Your heightened emotions will stem from a disagreement over money or a child’s education. You might even get a feeling that no matter what, you aren’t ever going to reach a compromise. 

Leo 
A friend or workmate will be in an awful mood. This will slow you down. No matter how hard you try, you won’t seem to be able to persuade them into action. Not even your wonderful charm and great sense of humour will get through to them. 

Virgo 
A young relative who has learning problems may be fixated with a subject or idea that may not be going well for them. It will be difficult to explain that they are approaching this in the wrong way. 

Libra 
It is pointless trying to force yourself to focus on a job or study assignment when your thoughts are elsewhere. It is equally as frustrating trying to concentrate on a job that is not going very well. The harder you try the more frustrating it will become. 

Scorpio 
You might fail at your first attempt to complete a gigantic task. The responsibility will be overwhelming but keep trying and you will succeed eventually. Also, the pendulum will swing to the other end of the scales later in the week.

Sagittarius 
You can sense someone is not telling you the truth. There is no fooling you and you will see through their mask very quickly. If this is over a small matter, it won’t be worth making a song and dance about it. 

Capricorn 
Compared with the usual practical approach you take to your work and family responsibilities, some of the ideas you come up with now will be unusual and at times, quite dramatic. 

Aquarius 
Why should you feel obliged to take on more than your fair share of the work? You have been carrying someone’s load for long enough now and this is preventing you from fulfilling tasks that should have been completed by now. 

Pisces 
Information relating to joint money concerns will mean you have to take another look at these and make some changes. A partner will have an ambitious plan. You might go along with this for now to see how it goes.
