What does Russell Grant have to say this week?

Aries 
Despite some interesting developments in your social world, it might still feel as if relationships, both at home and outside of it, aren’t all they could be. You may want some time alone to think about life in general. It will do you good to take yourself off for short spells in order to do just that. An older relative will be helpful if you are struggling with a tiresome and tedious job. Accept assistance with gratitude.

Taurus 
Are you aware of the needs and feelings of those closest to you or have you not been considering their views? It might be worth your while to put some time aside to reacquaint yourself with your loved ones. Let them know you do care and you are still there for them despite what they might think. Plenty of energy will be going into home interests with wonderful results. Money from a government grant will enable you to make some home improvements.
 
Gemini 
Social invitations galore are heading your way. You won’t want to turn any of these down but you are going to have to. You don’t want to overdo things and remember: you won’t thank yourself in the mornings for overindulgence the night before. If a touch of the Mad March Hare is getting into you, try to be practical too. There’s an old saying: As you sow, so must you reap. You will now be seeing the results, whether positive or the other, of some past decisions and actions.

Cancer 
Something important will have you on the go the moment the week gets underway. Try to arrange it so you have a little company around you as you deal with chores. Be sure, too, to let others take some of the weight off your shoulders so they feel wanted and included in your plans. A lot of good will come from listening to the advice of an older relative in connection with any domestic changes you have in mind.

Leo 
People sharing your home or workplace seem to be running around like demented hens in an effort to get certain jobs cleared up and out of the way. This will either amuse or annoy you or even, at times, both. With you being such a master at creating order out of chaos, rather than let workmates get on with their muddles, be generous and point out how they might save time and energy. 

Virgo 
Workplace discussions make you slightly unsure about where you stand. A senior colleague will oppose some of your ideas but there are others who are on your side. Once you realise this, you will feel more confident about what you are about to do. Someone you care for who has been too busy to spend much time with you will let you know they are once again ready to enjoy the closeness you once shared. 
 
Libra 
Without becoming totally cynical, trust your own opinions rather than relying on people who are urging you to go with their views, plans and ideas. Careful, methodical planning will bring you more success than simply trusting luck. A friend or neighbour will promise much but when it comes to the crunch, they might let you down for the flimsiest of reasons. The one person you can really trust and rely on is yourself.
 
Scorpio 
You might find it hard to make sense of some of the things going on around you. People who are making important decisions will have your interests at heart as well as their own so for now, sit back and observe. Do some research if you are thinking about getting some professional care for an elderly relative. Spending some time at home later, preferably alone, will recharge your batteries. Playing music, reading and baking and can also lift your spirits.

Sagittarius
 Someone you haven’t been getting on well with should now fully understand your position over issues that have been a bone of contention. With the air now cleared, you should be able to look forward to a less stressful time. As you can put these troubles behind you, you will start to loosen up and look forward to some group social and travel events being arranged. You’ve been longing for a change of scenery and this is your chance to get away.

Capricorn 
A team spirit will get the work done. You may have to be the one who gets everyone into an organised frame of mind in which case, gentle coaxing will achieve the desired result much faster than ordering others about. Your ability to stick to an agreed budget will also win a group’s confidence. There will be talk about forming a neighbourhood watch group. Attend meetings if you support this idea.

Aquarius 
You will enjoy yourself most joining in with activities where you will be part of a crowd. Even better will be if the team around you is a cheerful and easy-going one. If they aren’t, you will soon be changing that. Not a day will go by this week when you won’t be counting your blessings. Later, you might find yourself putting your own concerns aside in order to help make someone else’s life easier and happier. 

Pisces 
Money is an issue you have not been able to get out of your mind. Your financial situation is changing. Joint funds could receive a boost when a partner’s good fortune will rub off on you. Ignore any guilt because your income remains static while theirs is on the increase. Just be grateful that you can now look forward to a much less stressful time. Questions are being asked in your neighbourhood about how to make your community a safer place to live in. If you have ideas, share them.
