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

Aries (Mar21/Apr20)

There seems to be nothing but duty, work and responsibility and you’re growing tired of having to be serious all the time. Helping an elderly relative run errands isn’t something you begrudge but it is taking up a lot of your time. If you can persuade other members of your family to help out, this wouldn’t be such a burden on you.

Taurus (Apr21/May21)

Turn down an offer to try something new until you feel ready for it. You’re always more relaxed when dealing with things that are familiar. Attending to routine work and domestic chores gives you a sense of ease and security. Tidying up any clutter that has accumulated can also relieve stress. Stick to what you know best.

Gemini (May22/June21)

You won’t want to travel far but this would be a great time to get out into the countryside or beside the sea. You can do without annoying irritations like beeping machines and ringing phones. A close relationship is more compatible than it has been recently. You’ve done a lot of talking and now you are starting to understand each other.

Cancer (June22/July23)

You’re ready to press ahead with plans to spruce up your home or workplace. Others will ask to wait until next week. They may not be keen to help but you want to get started while you are in the mood and if you have to do this on your own, you will.

Leo (July24/Aug23)

You won’t stumble and fall when you come across a situation you’ve never dealt with before. This is your chance to find out what you are capable of. Go forward with confidence and when others see you believe in yourself, those in power will believe in you too. Don’t be surprised if you’re offered a plum assignment.

Virgo (Aug24/Sept23)

Having to cover for an absent colleague will mean long hours in the office. This increase in workload will be unexpected and it will disrupt your own schedule. You’re working on projects you’ve had no experience in before and you will feel out of your depth. An expert will give some helpful advice.

Libra (Sept24/Oct23)

Someone will apologise for a recent misunderstanding. You feel there is something they still aren’t telling you. If this is a close friend, accept they may have secrets they prefer to keep from you. Forgive and forget. If this is a romantic partner, ask questions, demand explanations and clear the air.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22)

Your social life is in for a boost. Getting involved in a volunteer project in your community will be fun. Outdoor and recreational activities will boost your energy and make you feel healthier and more positive. If you have been lax about physical exercise, now is a good time to launch a sensible routine.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21)

If you’re torn between getting on with routine chores or getting together with friends, leave everyday responsibilities for another time. There’s a strong sense of togetherness in your close relationships and this makes group and friendship activities a joy. Even while social distancing, there are many ways you can have fun with friends.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20)

Joint financial commitments are starting to worry you. You’re taking on more responsibility and your other half is not taking this very seriously. You’re concerned about their indifferent attitude but are you reading them wrong? It could be that they’re anxious about money only they don’t want to say.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19)

You need advice and the person you would normally confide in isn’t available. You are giving serious consideration to important plans but you need more information if you hope to feel confident about your choice. Dealing with this on your own will only leave you confused and anxious. It may be necessary to approach a professional for advice.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20)

You expected to get more out of a new experience than it is giving you. Someone who promised they’d support you will let you down. This could have been your chance to learn something new but what had been offered to you for free will have strings attached. There will be other ways to achieve this aim without the help of devious or untrustworthy people.
