Russell Grant horoscopes 2019 - your stars for the week

Aries

An open-minded attitude will attract a special educational opportunity. If it’s a while since you were at school, swallow your fears and dive right in. You’re never too old to learn. Anything that stretches your mind and challenges your views will bring you a lot of pleasure. A young friend or workmate is trying to prove themselves in some way. You’ve seen how hard they have been working and you will be the first to encourage them in any way you can.

Taurus

Your home life isn’t as good as it could be due to misunderstandings or arguments in the family. You wish some people would make the effort to get on better together. Although you have a strong suspicion about who is to blame, it’s important to be objective. A new cash deal is worth thinking about if the aim is to get you out of a temporary financial quandary. Talk this over with a friend whose discretion and wisdom you admire and respect.

Gemini

You need to get closer to a goal that seems slightly out of reach. You can’t see yourself succeeding but it is possible. All you have to do is make a determined effort. Negative thinking will make the situation look worse. Trust in your ability to achieve the success you desire. Focus on uplifting subjects when you’re feeling low. Find a way to fight lethargic feelings and you will find the willpower to make some fine accomplishments.

Cancer

If you’re aiming for a special target, set a deadline. Break your goal down into small steps. The first one will be the hardest but once you’ve made a start, it will get easier. Do at least one thing every day that will take you closer to your goal. Plans you’re making for the future could be expensive. A down payment shouldn’t be too hard to find but check out whether you can afford all repayments before making a heavy financial commitment.

Leo

Emotionally, you’re being pulled in different directions. You long to make some changes but you know your partner will be upset by your plans. Instead of keeping your feelings bottled up inside, talk things over and you might be able to find a compromise. A workmate’s behaviour is starting to annoy you. They’re sulking about something that occurred a while ago. If you said things you now regret, swallow your pride and make an effort to repair a misunderstanding.

Virgo

Keep up to date with what’s going on in your community. You don’t want to miss out on some fun social opportunities. As it is, mixing with friends and neighbours will lift your spirits. It would do you good to take a break from familiar routines to build a supportive social network. An older relative will accuse you of being selfish but this isn’t so. You’ve done a lot for your family recently and now you’re simply turning the focus back onto your own needs.

Libra

You can’t settle for second best any more. A relationship isn’t working. There is someone who has already caught your attention and you feel drawn to. Although you would never deliberately make waves, the time has come to follow your heart. If your job is growing monotonous, do yourself a favour and start looking for a more challenging position. You can do better and you can improve your life but you have to take the initiative.

Scorpio

All you want to do is to clear up an issue and get a few jobs out of the way. Yet problem after problem seems to face you. Others will give up but you’re made of sterner stuff. People in power will be impressed by your professionalism. Take note of the needs and feelings of your family. You could get so carried away with new plans and arrangements that you won’t notice this is making someone very nervous. Eventually they will adapt to changing circumstances.

Sagittarius

You’re taking your time to make your mind up about an offer someone made you. They’re waiting for an answer but you won’t be pressured into making a fast decision. Anyone who tries to rush you will regret it as they won’t get the feedback they are hoping for. Set up a meeting with your boss to discuss a work related issue that has been bugging you since the month began. Their response will be positive and helpful.

Capricorn

It doesn’t come naturally to you to discuss your feelings. So when you do express your thoughts it can be in a self-critical way. You’ve always had high standards and it might seem to others, that you are rarely satisfied with your efforts. If someone tells you that you should be proud of your talents, resist the temptation to brush off their praise. Your inability to relax is taking its toll on your health. Treat yourself to a trip or night out on the town.

Aquarius

If money is tight. If you’re borrowing cash to pay off debts, it’s time to face the facts of your situation. Talk to a charitable organisation and with the help of a money expert, you’ll be able to consolidate debts into one monthly payment. Time is running short and someone wants to know whether or not you are going to join them on an adventure they are planning. If this conflicts with family obligations it would be better to stay where you are.

Pisces

Your loving nature helps you make inroads with someone special. You’re forging stronger bonds with your friends. You and your partner or best friend can talk for hours without realising how much time has passed. If you are buying off the internet, you may not be happy with your purchase. The item may not be the one you chose or you will be disappointed with the quality once you’ve had a look at it. If you’re offered a warranty for a new car, computer or appliance, take it.
