Weekly Russell Grant horoscope for Saturday February 19

Aries 
There’s a lot going on now; lots to do, lots to talk about and lots to think about. A few sleepless nights could be because of an emotional dilemma. You feel no further forward to resolving this problem but a heart-to-heart talk towards the end of the week will leave you feeling more informed, if not totally at ease. If you’re thinking about making new starts or changes within the home, wait a moment. Have you given this matter enough thought or are you acting on a spontaneous whim?

Taurus 
Even after giving a lot of your time to others, yet again, someone may need help with a job they are being expected to carry out on their own. It may be that you will have to give some discreet assistance from behind the scenes. You won’t mind doing a relative a favour but you may not have realised how long this would take. People are grateful and they will find a way to pay you back for your kindness.

Gemini 
Making changes because this suddenly seems like a good idea is not recommended. You may have nothing but difficulties in new projects launched now. Planning is essential no matter what your goals for the future happen to be. Wait for a while before embarking on new beginnings in any area. In your spare time you might tie up a few loose ends in personal affairs. After this you will feel more relaxed and more ready to face whatever challenges are ahead.

Cancer 
Your positivity and cheerful frame of mind will be infectious. You would rather push duty aside to have some fun. Before you know it you will have everyone shirking their responsibilities to join in with some light hearted entertainment. Whether it is just gossiping the days away, going on a trip or organising a party, this will do a lot to remind you of how good life can be. This proves too that it’s about time you relaxed more.

Leo 
It might be worth your while keeping an eye on what’s going on behind the scenes. It’s easy to miss out on discreet opportunities when you are at the front of all that is going on. New openings won’t be easy to spot but they are there if you look hard enough for them. Pay attention to gossip as this could be interesting. Some recent confusion and turmoil will soon be over. Dark clouds are lifted. The path ahead looks clearer.

Virgo
It will take a mature approach to understand why you are getting the cold shoulder from someone who is acting out of character. The way you deal with their childish behaviour will depend on how much it is bothering you. If you spend some time considering a loving relationship you might decide to lay down a few rules so it can continue along happier lines. Or you might break it off for good.

Libra
An old friend will want to introduce you to someone they are sure you will enjoy meeting. Remain open minded. Although your first impression will not be a positive one, you could be pleasantly surprised. A relative has some exciting plans and their happiness will rub off on everyone. You will also notice a marked easing in the atmosphere between you and someone you argued with about three or four weeks ago.

Scorpio 
Career wise you may be quietly making plans for a change in direction but there are several months to go before you intend to carry out these aims. You’re in touch with your inner self although a recent dream may have left you feeling a little confused. This may have given insight into a side of someone’s nature you hadn’t realised was there. Your dilemma will now be whether to trust the warning given to you by your subconscious mind.

Sagittarius 
A declutter of your home or workplace will make you feel good about yourself. A tidy environment reflects a tidy mind and you will feel more organised and in control once you get up to date with everyday chores. Continue to exercise caution in money matters. As tempting as it may be, don’t dip into joint funds or sign an agreement without the approval of your partner. If you’re thinking about making an expensive purchase shop around.

Capricorn 
You will get on best and feel more at ease through being able to work quietly in the background. If you’re in charge of organising an event or project, everyone will have their own views. It’s going to be easier dealing with one person at a time. A temporary change in surroundings will not go amiss later in the week. Your relationship with a partner or close friend may be getting stale even though you would not want to admit it. Absence will make the heart grow stronger as you will soon be finding out.

Aquarius 
A difficult phase at home will cause tension. Even so, some good will come out of this. Housemates are now at a stage when they all want to settle an argument that’s been going on for some time. If you get your heads together and talk things through calmly, a compromise will be reached. Stick to your recent ideas and intentions involving anything to do with money. Someone will try to persuade you out of some plans but you do know what you are doing. Time will prove this too.

Pisces 
A job you are working on will turn out to be more difficult than anticipated. You might sometimes feel as if you can’t get anything right and you wish your boss was more helpful. Life is going along in a bumpy fashion when as soon as things start running smoothly something happens to spoil it all. Whether or not you’re superstitious you might find that minor accidents and frustrations will come in threes.
