Weekly Russell Grant horoscope for Saturday November 27

Aries
Someone with a powerful personality will disagree with your plans. Be ready to defend your beliefs and interests. If there is something you really want to do, don't let anyone else put you off this. You owe it to yourself to keep going. Contracts involving someone you have known for years should be pleasing and profitable but arrangements with a new customer or colleague will be slow to get off the ground. You might suspect this is a relationship that is unlikely to last.

Taurus
Your thoughts are on a long-term goal. You would appreciate a partner or relative's support. Even if at first they don't seem interested, keep working at it. You are gradually breaking down their defences. The possibility of a new source of income will come your way but don't be too quick to take up this offer. This will be something that should not be accepted immediately. Look into it further before making a definite decision.

Gemini
You won't be content to join others in your usual weekday activities. You want to escape boring routine and you're too restless to patiently settle for mundane chores. Instead, you're longing to escape the familiar and venture into unknown territory. Changes in the workplace may seem exciting but they could benefit some more than others and you might start wondering whether they are really fair. It may be up to you to expose an unfair practice.

Cancer
You're trying to do too much. You want to please everyone but you aren't going to do this by working yourself to exhaustion. Have more patience with yourself and remember too that you can't and won't achieve all your goals immediately. At times you and a loved one or housemate will be at cross purposes. It may be that they want to try out new things when you want to continue the way you've been going in the past.

Leo
Things may be tense at home. A heart to heart talk will clear the air. Restoring peace where there is disharmony will give your spirits a boost. Those you live with will show their appreciation. Spending a lot of time wondering why you can't get into the swing of your usual routines makes you your own worst enemy. There will be too many distractions in your environment destroying your concentration. A change of scenery will be the answer.

Virgo
It is not a time to act on impulse. A workmate will have taken on far too much. You did try to warn them but they did not want to hear. Sooner or later they are going to need your support. Just be careful you don't end up taking on other people's responsibilities. Your practical skills will be put to good use in money affairs and in domestic matters too. Don't be surprised if you make money from a creative talent.

Libra
You're in a curious mood, wanting to know what everyone else is getting up to and yet if someone shows interest in your affairs, you will get annoyed with their inquisitiveness. Conversations will be interesting but you can't ask all the questions. Be willing to share what you know too. You might get the feeling something new is in the pipeline and you could benefit from this in some way. Keeping a dream diary could prove enlightening.

Scorpio
Somehow you might get involved with a neighbour's problems. You hadn't planned on being the one to help them out but you won't mind this. Just don't lose track of time as you have other things to do. Most things in the career environment will go your way but don't assume it will all be easy. It will be a colleague's dilemma that could cause you some frustration and when you look at the problem, the solution will be staring them in the face.

Sagittarius
Travel is a strong temptation. Just being able to escape familiar places for a wee while sounds incredibly inviting. You may not just be dreaming of this possibility either for there is a strong chance you will persuade a partner or close friend to book a fairly lengthy vacation. Advancement will come through the people you now meet. A powerful professional could make you an intriguing proposal. The impression you give others will mark up points on the popularity scales.

Capricorn
Unlike some of your restless friends, you won't feel like venturing too far away at the moment. You will prefer to remain closer to home. There is someone you need to talk to and if you can't see each other face to face, the phone will have to do. Some importance is attached to conversations. The weekend holds special promise of romance when your love life is likely to reach an important point.

Aquarius
A friend or neighbour with an unusual hobby will let you in on what sounds like a fanciful secret. Even so you will be intrigued and a little research will prove they are telling the truth. The offer of a promotion or new job with a different employer is worth considering but think carefully about what you may be letting yourself in for. Calm your enthusiasm and look at this realistically. Avoid taking unnecessary risks.

Pisces
You're planning on getting in trim for a future festive celebration. A friend will tell you there is no need to make a big effort but you might suspect they are just being polite. Changing your diet and practising relaxation techniques could be the start of you embarking on a healthier lifestyle. A friend who is special to you will have made some mistake about plans or events that take place as the week ends. Arrangements to meet someone at a train station or park could mark the start of a long-term friendship.
