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)
A calm inner knowing holds you steady. You sense change in the air but you aren’t rattled about it. Trust your instincts, especially with family or home matters. Step forward and remember: breakthroughs don’t need force. Continue to let kindness lead conversations and this will allow emotional truths to surface.
Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)
A sudden idea will jolt you into action. Creative thoughts will seem to come out of nowhere and you might want to add practical planning to some imaginative plans. Strong emotions will be felt later in the day. Write things down. A heart to heart conversation marks a turning point in a close relationship.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Your mind is working fast and furiously. Yet it’s what you don’t say that holds importance. Pause before reacting to any surprises or disruptions. Watch for new financial opportunities or changes in priorities. In the workplace, standing back and observing will work wonders. Slowly but surely you are making progress.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
Old memories return. Don’t push these away as they could bring a sense of healing. Today’s tensions will reveal new angles and possibilities, not just conflict. Stay true to your emotions without getting lost in them. Your presence is calming to others. A surprise happening will let you know who is genuine.
Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)
Recent achievements add to your confidence but something that happens out of the blue will shake expectations. You need to feel you have a good grasp of the situation which isn’t easy when you find it necessary to let go of having full control. Changes at work or in routines are likely. Accept this; don’t try to fight it.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)
A surprise occurrence will mean you have to change plans and even put a long-term goal on hold. Give yourself time to adapt. Today favours contemplation over action. Trust that you are being led in the direction that is right for you by forces you can trust. A close friend will offer wise advice.
Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)
You should be proud of yourself today as you are the one who is holding steady while the world seems to be tilting. Small changes in plans could lead to greater harmony in relationships. Use today’s emotional insights to gently deal with any tension. Are you single? A surprise encounter will leave a lasting impression.
Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)
Change doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it can happen in such a subtle way that before you know it everything has altered. Today, it is this type of subtle change that will reveal new paths for you. This is your chance to move away from anything that has been draining you. Listen closely to your heart.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)
A flash of insight is worth following up. Disruptions in routine will offer freedom. Stay curious and let others see you are willing to go with the flow. A conversation will hint of a big adventure that’s being planned and this is something worth pursuing.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)
A moment of vulnerability opens you to a strength you had forgotten you had. This in turn will allow you to release emotional baggage. Don’t resist small changes that are happening now especially in partnerships and shared finances. You and a partner are building trust in a deeper way than before.
Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)
It’s almost as if the ground is moving beneath your feet and this will feel unsettling. A close relationship is changing. Familiar routines break down. Plans are disrupted and yet through all of this, something new and better will arise. A partner is learning to let closeness coexist with freedom.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Your intuition is your best compass today. Emotional insights will come to the surface. Allow these to guide your practical choices. Work may take a surprising twist and this could be to your advantage. A creative idea will bloom unexpectedly this evening Your quiet wisdom is leading the way.
