What does Russell Grant have to say for this week?

Aries 
A financial matter is causing resentment. This will involve a legal settlement, inheritance or some other windfall. Disagreements are causing tension between you and people you care for. It’s important to have an honest discussion. If an agreement can’t be reached, as a last resort, you may have to take legal action. An offer to get involved in a special assignment will be intriguing. You will want to learn more before making a long-term commitment.

Taurus 
You will find it easier to relax once your life is in order. You are ready to tidy, re-organise and declutter your home and workplace. There are some around you who won’t be keen to support you in these intentions. Other people’s demands, mistakes and expectations will keep you tied to jobs you had not intended or expected to be working on. If you’re looking for work, explore opportunities in the entertainment industry or at a charity. 

Gemini 
Someone will admit to having taken on more than they can chew. They know you are in a position to help. Do you really want to take over challenging tasks belonging to another when you have enough of your own to do? You can’t help everyone who expects your support. A younger friend or relative is making a habit of turning to you for funding whenever they run out of cash. Is lending or even borrowing money a good idea in this current economic climate?

Cancer 
Once you get started on a new venture you will be surprised by the swift progress that is made. A video on home improvements will inspire you to do some jobs around the house. This will brighten your surroundings and increase the value of your home. You will quickly pick up new methods and routines. A colleague’s carelessness will irritate you but you know they are having problems at home and for this reason, you might turn a blind eye.
 
Leo 
Be honest and clear about what you are expecting from others in order to avoid misunderstandings. If you are dealing with people who are demanding money for their services you need a written contract. Be certain they aren’t charging for work they haven’t done. Are you single? You will be drawn to people who make you laugh and whose company inspires your creativity. You are finding it surprisingly easy to laugh off your own problems.

Virgo 
Don’t be surprised if you are nominated for a leading role in a community project. You can meet this challenge. This is a great time to work on new assignments of a joint nature. Combined efforts are most likely to succeed. Collaborating on an art project will stimulate your imagination. You could make a name for yourself as a writer, photographer or craftsperson. Your mood will be more assertive as your confidence grows and you will enjoy being active.

Libra 
You will not want to refuse a chance to work on an important project but you need to keep some developments a secret. It will mean a lot to feel you are making a success of everything you do and you want to get results. Don’t let this make you become impatient or inconsistent. Careless choices and impulsive action will only slow things down. Do your best to make a good impression on those in high places. This is your chance to prove to your boss that you are good at adapting to changing situations.

Scorpio 
Working behind the scenes is something you won’t mind doing as you get on best when on your own. Even so, at times you do feel a little lonely and isolated. If you live some distance away from your family, building a support network of colleagues, neighbours and friends will be essential to your long-term happiness. You might enjoy anything that demands creativity. Music, art, photography and writing will stimulate your imagination. Working with materials like wood, clay and beads will also feel very satisfying.

Sagittarius 
Jobs you recently took on because they looked easy are turning out to be more complicated than expected. You’re almost tempted to admit defeat and ask for someone else to take over. At the same time, you want to prove to yourself that you can do this. Ask for help should you need it. A legal transaction will have consequences you hadn’t dared dream of. There will be a positive outcome to an application whether this is for funding, a new job or a course of study.

Capricorn 
You’re starting to doubt a new friend or partner is being sincere. They might say all the right things but you are starting to notice their words don’t match their actions. In situations like these it’s always best to trust your intuition. Trusting in the wrong person will only lead to future heartache. Travel may not be as pleasurable as you had hoped. Short trips will be plagued by mechanical breakdowns or time-consuming delays. The closer you stay to your home the happier you will be.

Aquarius 
A new career move will mean learning a totally new way of working. You will take a flexible approach and this will help you cope. You will also learn a thing or two more about yourself in the process. Your energy is high and your enthusiasm for a team effort will keep your spirits bright. It always feels good to work with people who are as serious about their commitments as you are. Planning a future holiday excites your imagination.

Pisces 
Friendship activities will be fun, entertaining and uplifting. Knowing you are happy will mean a lot to a loved one. Your best friend or partner will encourage you to fulfil your dreams. Accepting a special offer will give you something to look forward to. Everything will seem to be happening at once. Even so, moderation is the best policy. You have plenty to celebrate but overindulgence in rich food and alcohol will take its toll on your health.
