Russell Grant horoscopes 2020 - your stars for the week

Aries

Your income will benefit from a partner’s good fortune. Shared financial interests receive a boost but wait until you’ve had time to discuss what this might mean to you both before you start making big spending plans. Your partner may have their own ideas. Friendship and group activities that usually give you pleasure in the evenings will have to be postponed for a wee while but this won’t be anything compared to the joy you will find in your lover’s arms at the weekend.

Taurus

You can’t ignore the brittle atmosphere between you and a friend although you would like to. Something upsetting happened to cause everyone to lay the blame on the one person who had nothing to do with the matter. At least you should see a change in this relationship around Wednesday. Apologies are in order. It hasn’t been easy to get the message across when you’ve noticed someone struggling with a task. They’re ready to listen and you can easily do it now.

Gemini

Don’t think you aren’t going to be busy. In fact, with so much going on as the week begins there’ll be no time to ease yourself into the swing of things. It would be so much better if you were doing what you enjoy but some tasks won’t be to your liking. A text message or phone call will draw your attention to a matter that needs to be dealt with immediately. Take the rough with the smooth and don’t think you have to do everything on your own, because you don’t.

Cancer

Some people will feel offended if you turn down an offer or opportunity. You would be cutting off your nose to spite your face to turn down a partner’s suggestions. They want you to get the most out of life despite the difficulties surround us all. A quick dash to the shops on Friday will be necessary. There are things you need to do, things you need to buy and above all, you will just want to get out of the house.

Leo

Give people a chance to explain themselves when misunderstandings occur. Once they do, you might realise you’ve picked up the wrong end of the stick. Don’t be ashamed to admit this. Everyone makes mistakes and rectifying problems will draw you closer together. You feel like withdrawing from the world for a while so you can be alone but, in your desire, to keep out of the mainstream of events you are also cutting off your chances to communicate with others.

Virgo

A message received at the start of the week will weigh heavily on your mind. People wonder why you are so concerned when this news was actually bright and cheerful. They don’t have your talent for reading between the lines. Trust your instincts and give someone a call to get a better impression of how things really are. Don’t’ throw in the towel when a project starts going wrong. Consider other people’s suggestions or try new ideas yourself. A little lateral thinking works wonders.

Libra

The beginning of the week will mark either the start or conclusion of a legal transaction. There will be a couple of potentially awkward moments when it might look as if someone is changing their mind over issues agreed on in the past. They may just be testing you so be sure that you stand your ground. You might almost forget a friend’s birthday and there will be a moment’s panic when you can’t think of what to buy for them. Someone close has an innovative idea that will save the day.

Scorpio

Make a start on anything new on Monday and you will have all the rest of the week to sort out any teething problems. If you’ve been thinking about applying for a job or looking for a new place to live this would be an ideal time to launch a search. You’re surrounded by excellent influences later, which promise fun, happiness, love and laughter. This generally relaxed atmosphere is just what you need to recharge your physical and emotional batteries.

Sagittarius

You aren’t as inactive as some people may think or accuse you of being. Even so, whatever you are doing as the week begins, you will want to keep this to yourself. You will feel comfortable working behind the scenes as this allows you to work independently without anyone watching over your shoulders. Later, you will be in a position to take shortcuts to speed up the pace of a job that has not been going very well up until now.

Capricorn

If you aren’t certain of your ability to carry out a job that has been assigned to you, ask for help. You would be better off allowing other people to take the initiative. You could be expecting problems with a project that wasn’t 100% fool proof before it was set underway. A housemate will have some great ideas on how everyone should approach a home improvement project. Let them take the lead and go along with whatever they ask of you.

Aquarius

You might hold back from acting on ideas that come to you now but little signs around you will tell you that you should go ahead with them. Strike while the iron is hot or you may have to wait for quite some time before you get another chance. A friend is going through problems and you can see this but you’re inclined to pretend you haven’t noticed. This isn’t something that will sort itself out by itself. Someone needs your help.

Pisces

You aren’t having it very easy. Don’t be surprised to find yourself lumbered with someone else’s problems. They will appreciate your support even if this means putting your own concerns aside for a while. This is not a good time to experiment with new ideas for making money. Carry on as usual rather than making changes in this area. Spur of the moment decisions are strongly advised against. Stick with the tried and tested.
