Russell Grant horoscopes 2019 - your stars for the week

Aries

If you want to get ahead you may have to bend a few rules. This might mean treading on a colleague’s delicate toes and it’s not something you feel good about. At the same time, they have held you back for too long now. Something you hear about a recent event will puzzle you. Someone’s words don’t ring true. A friend or neighbour is trying to get you to talk about something you’d rather not discuss.

Taurus

A dilemma is linked with your rising concern over a career or environmental issue. You feel your efforts aren’t good enough. Rest assured, you’re doing a whole lot more than some other people around you. This is a great time for romance. One of Cupid’s arrows is bang on target and a new relationship will soon begin. Having fun with someone who shares your interests will reap emotional rewards.

Gemini

Thoughts in the back of your mind will start to take definite form. You’re reluctant to share your ideas but do you have to be so independent? Problems you are going through won’t seem half as worrying if you share them with a friend. Teamwork will get results. You will achieve more through working with a partner. Plans will largely turn out as you are expecting although there may be one or two little surprises. These won’t cause any inconvenience.

Cancer

Conflicting egos and aggressive people hold you back and limit your options. You and a colleague or neighbour can’t seem to agree on anything. It doesn’t matter who is at fault, if you don’t climb down from your high horse, no one else will either. Take the mature approach and suggest a compromise. Someone wants to share a secret with you but you aren’t interested in their private life and you don’t feel comfortable about discussing intimate matters.

Leo

You really could do with a holiday. To get the break you are hoping for, you may need to double your effort to finish an important job. Alternatively, you could ask for help. There are plenty people who would be happy to lend a hand. Someone is prying into your business and wants to know your plans for the future. Mask your real intentions clear or they could steal your ideas before you get a chance to put them into practice.

Virgo

You will come up with an unusual solution to a domestic problem. Put creativity into making changes around the house. Use your imagination and you won’t be the only one who is delighted with the results. Confusion over a financial matter needs your urgent attention. Money that is expected will be delayed or there may be a dispute over the amount. A friend who fails to deliver on a promise disappoints you.

Libra

Your family and friends are wondering where you get all your energy from. Suddenly, you seem to be getting through tasks in half the usual time. You’re in the kind of mood that gets everything done quickly and efficiently and yet it doesn’t feel like you are pushing yourself very hard. A new friend is encouraging you to turn a dream into reality but this is easier said than done. Despite their promise to help you, their enthusiasm will quickly wane.

Scorpio

An argument is preying on your mind. You don’t want to fall out with a friend or neighbour and now is the time to make an effort to bridge the gap between you. As it is, you could need each other more than you realise over the weeks ahead. A spurt of action behind the scenes is inspired by the need to clear a few jobs out of the way. Once you get a chance to stand back and look at all you have done, you will be pleased.

Sagittarius

A short trip won’t go as expected and you will wonder whether it was worth the hassle. Check that someone is in before you decide to visit them. A friend might already have a visitor when you arrive at their place and this will be someone you never wanted to see again. So, contact people first and let them know your intentions. Be sure you don’t let a secret slip, due to the clever way your boss or a senior colleague starts to question you. Someone is relying on your discretion.

Capricorn

Casual conversations in the workplace will give you the idea of starting on a new health program. It shouldn’t take long before you see the benefits of an improved diet and exercise regime. Your determination and decisiveness will get results. What spurs you on is the knowledge that your achievements will benefit other people as well as yourself. This will also make up for some temporary tension being felt in a working relationship.

Aquarius

You’re looking to the future and you are all for change for the better. A strong desire to make some improvements could see you making sweeping changes in your work or home. You’re ready to move on towards a more progressive future. A money muddle needs to be sorted out sooner rather than later. There’s something of a mystery surrounding a large figure you can’t quite account for. There’s every chance an error has been made which will be easily rectified.

Pisces

You’re being hit with problems from all directions in your attempts to get a project off the ground. At times it will feel as if you’re banging your head against a brick wall. Why not put aside anything that isn’t going well until later in the month? When you return to them, you will be able to overcome stumbling blocks more easily. Social gatherings will be fun but you need to balance time with friends with being alone.
