These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Your partner or a close friend will say or do something that takes you by surprise. A person you meet in a group setting will remind you of someone you knew in the past. Conversations around you will be lively with a few twists and turns. Events will certainly be entertaining.
Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)
Information regarding your personal life will somehow get out in public. This may include details about your possessions, financial status, a gift you received or funding you applied for. You’re annoyed as this is no-one’s business but your own and you would like to know how it got out in the open.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Taking some time off from work and your usual activities can be therapeutic. Recently you’ve been burning the candle at both ends. It is time to extinguish that flame and allow yourself a chance to rest. A short break will be beneficial for your well-being.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
An unexpected chance to travel will come your way. You won’t be expecting it but a strange twist in events will lead you down some interesting paths. You might learn something intriguing from a mentor or someone will offer to teach you a useful skill.
Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)
A friend’s strange behaviour is creating a distance between you. Try to resist the urge to intrude into their personal affairs. Even if you have access to certain information, it would be best to avoid reading their messages. You want to understand them better but wait until they’re ready to talk to you.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)
Factors that have an impact on your health will lead you to become more aware or conscious of your eating habits and the nutrients in your diet. You might also be considering your living situation and your social life and how these affect your overall well-being.
Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)
A creative project will be a refreshing way to divert your mind from something that is upsetting you. Get stuck into a world of clay or paint and let your imagination flow. Jot down some of the funny thoughts that come into your head and share them later with friends. You won’t be the only one who finds these amusing.
Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)
People want to let you know how much they appreciate the help you have given them recently. You never did this for gain but gifts, treats and money are heading your way. Someone will offer to do you a favour. It would offend them if you turned them down.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)
Your aim now is to make progress in areas that are important to you. You have the potential to succeed in what matters most to you now and you know this will require a lot of dedication and perseverance in addition to utilising your natural talents.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)
Taking a short break when you need it will be beneficial. Keep telling yourself you aren’t running a sprint but rather a long-distance marathon. Your ability to conserve and manage your strength as well as to recharge your energy whenever possible will be vital to your eventual success.
Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)
A relative is starting to get on your nerves. It’s up to you to avoid getting caught up in their manipulative tactics. By not responding to provocative comments they will lose interest and start looking for someone else to bother. It takes two to tango.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Family connections deepen and this is what is going to lay the foundation for your future happiness. Finding balance and harmony in your life can help you push through challenging situations that might otherwise disrupt your peace and affect your sleep.
