CELEBRITY Bucks resident Russell Grant’s weekly Bucks Free Press horoscope from Saturday, August 10:

Aries

Trust your intuition about a money transaction or job related problem. If you’ve gone as far as you can in a particular field, it is time for a change. You are tired of people who put too much emphasis on making money. Take the chance to promote a pet project. Actions will speak louder than words so if you promise someone you will do something for them, let them see you mean it. Volunteer work for a local charity will cultivate happiness.

Taurus

In business and in your social world, first impressions count for a lot. Splash out on some new outfits that enhance your best features. When you look good, you feel good, too. Your friendly nature is a valuable asset in making new friends. It’s a great week to put those loving feelings you have been bottling up inside into words. Hugs always cheer you up and they’ll have the same effect on others too.

Gemini

You’re ready now to discard old financial ties and contracts to replace them with more positive arrangements. Money and job themes are favourably accented. Take this chance to sign a contract and things will begin to change for the better. Questions are asked in emails and text messages and you seem to have all the answers. It might seem as if everyone is coming to you for advice and guidance. Later, a friend will be keen to introduce you to a new interest.

Cancer

Community activities will be lucky for you. Plan to circulate if you are hoping to meet new prospects. If you’re offered a job with a local charity, take it. Organising a fundraiser will bring out the best in you. There’s a surprise in store on the romantic front. Your partner is arranging something special for you both. If you’re single, prospects for passion look promising later in the week. Romantic developments will be exhilarating.

Leo

Plan to circulate if you are hoping to meet new prospects. You might stray a bit from your usual path and an impulsive move could be to your advantage. Reliable information received from someone in the know will help you make an important decision. Give yourself a chance to think before starting anything new. It’s not a good idea to plunge ahead with a risky project or relationship. Trust your intuition when it tells you this is not a risk you should take.

Virgo

You will be especially productive behind the scenes as you are driven to achieve a special goal. Working alone helps you stay focused. You don’t want to be distracted by people who waste your time. A relative is interested in an event that is being set up in your area. You can understand why this appeals to them but you won’t be as keen to get involved. It’s just not your cup of tea.

Libra

You work hard for your money and you want to have something to show for it. To shop or not to shop is now the question. You want to splash out on some new clothes that will make you feel fabulous but you also want to stash some cash away for a rainy day. You may have to strike a sensible balance between the two. An unexpected offer is worth considering. Analyse your options by working out where you stand the best chance of succeeding.

Scorpio

A job involving lots of travel would suit you down to the ground. Your feet are itching to get going. An adventure is being planned and this will take place very soon. You won’t think twice about taking advantage of opportunities to broaden your horizons. You could learn a lot by watching a rival whose work you admire. They may not have your experience but they are more up to date in knowledge or expertise.

Sagittarius

Putting a regular amount aside into savings each month will give you a greater measure of confidence. You will feel more control when you have some cash put away for a rainy day. Look for ways to recycle materials. Putting old things to good use could become a favourite pastime and this will allow you to express your creativity through handiwork. You might enjoy restoring shabby furniture to its original beauty and this will be a labour of love.

Capricorn

An old friend will be in touch with an exciting proposition. This will come as a big surprise as you haven’t seen each other in a long while. Don’t let the fact that this offer has come from out of the blue stop you from giving it some thought. This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Your social life is about to take a turn for the better and at the same time, your love life will go into orbit.

Aquarius

Although you may not get to ride through Paris in an open sports car, there will be something special and romantic about plans being made now. Your charisma is at an all-time high. If you are single, don’t be surprised when you become a hot commodity on the romance market. A travel opportunity will be too good to ignore. Think about how you would feel in the future if you let if you let this chance slip through your fingers.

Pisces

Charm can work wonders. You have something important to ask someone. Make eye contact as your eyes have a wonderful way of expressing your feelings. Everyone will melt at this. Be warm and gracious. A journey is on the cards. Take the chance to look at your life from a distant perspective while you’re away on holiday or travelling. A new slant on the future will bring substantial rewards. Planning a reunion could be on the cards.
