What do the stars hold for you this Friday? Astrologer Russell Grant reveals all...

Aries (Mar21/Apr20)

Conflict in a group is slowing down progress. A team should be working together and not against each other as it may seem at the moment. A lack of discipline is causing confusion and uncertainty. You may have to accept a leadership role to encourage greater cooperation within the team.

Taurus (Apr21/May21)

Be wary of giving advice to someone you hardly know even if they ask for it. Your words could be used against you later. Think carefully about how you are putting your thoughts across during a group meeting to check no one might interpret what you say in the wrong way.

Gemini (May22/June21)

Someone will offer a lot of resistance to changes that are being implemented at home or in the workplace. It will take time for them to recognise these may actually be beneficial. Be patient with anyone who is nervous about the future. A compassionate attitude will help others cope more easily.

Cancer (June22/July23)

Someone you work with or are living with doesn’t feel as positive as you about your joint aims. Be careful about making long-term agreements if you sense your partner’s heart isn’t in it. If you’re taking on something they’re worried about you will need to reassure them you do know what you are doing.

Leo (July24/Aug23)

You know exactly what you want to do about a joint arrangement. A partner may not be as certain about their views and feelings. They aren’t being fickle. They just want more time to make up their mind. You can’t resent people for disagreeing with you. Be willing to talk.

Virgo (Aug24/Sept23)

Don’t blame yourself for a friend’s sudden departure. Their absence from your social circle will make you wonder whether you have done or said something wrong. Without any explanation as to why they left so abruptly you’re bound to question the reason. There have been things going on behind the scenes you’ve not been aware of.

Libra (Sept24/Oct23)

When you feel overwhelmed with pressure from the outside, turn your attention inward. Retreating to your private fantasy world can help calm you. When you feel ready, talk over your worries with someone you can trust. Some problems won’t be as big or as negative as they first appear.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22)

A new assignment will enhance your job satisfaction. Not everyone in the workplace will be helpful but your boss will praise your contributions to a group effort and this will mean a lot to you. If a colleague is sullen and uncooperative, leave them to their own devices. It isn’t your job to try to cheer them up.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21)

You are starting to wonder whether you have done the right thing in taking on more responsibilities. These are adding to your problems. If you need help, ask for it. Relax and allow others you are working with to be themselves too. Slow down and take it one step at a time.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20)

You are a positive influence on a team. Others are looking to you for guidance and they will take your advice very seriously. You may never have imagined yourself taking charge of a group project until now. It will feel strange to realise that you are the one who is inspiring others to experiment and venture onto untrodden paths.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19)

Minor irritations are starting to annoy you. You’re tired of arguing over trivial issues. A colleague questions your methods when you wish they would just leave you alone. People are blowing everything out of proportion. Choose to work independently of anyone you are finding it difficult to get on with.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20)

An emergency expense like an appliance breaking down or a veterinary bill will put a serious dint in your bank account. This is upsetting when you’ve been patiently saving for something special. Don’t give up. You can continue to build up your savings by cutting back on luxuries. When you reach your financial goal, it will feel as if your patience has been worthwhile.
