Russell Grant’s Weekly Horoscopes w.b. 30th July 2011
.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Power plays are going on all around you. You have to divide your time between home and work. No matter how hard you try to be fair neither party will feel satisfied. When you feel as if you’re being torn in two, head for some quiet place you can collect your thoughts. Channelling your frustrations into a creative project can be soothing. You’ve got a good eye for colour so why not take up a design project, paint a masterpiece or decorate the front room.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) You’ve never felt very confident about your intellectual powers, preferring to rely on intuition and instincts to guide your way. Unfortunately, you are being held back from a lack of experience or know how. The only remedy is to get the training you need. This may take a considerable sacrifice of time and money. Still, the results will be worth it. Console yourself with the fact that now you are an adult, you get to choose how, when and with whom you move forward.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Learning to live with the restrictions of a tight budget is never fun. Still, you’re imaginative enough to make your existing resources stretch far. It’s just a matter of treating the whole process like a game. If you link saving with sacrifice, you’ll fail. On the other hand, if you treat every shopping excursion as a challenge, you’ll save tons of cash. Be realistic about a legal matter. It may be better to settle out of court than to let the matter drag out for weeks.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) A close partnership is showing signs of strain. You long to assert your independence, but this means putting distance between you and a friend or lover. It’s possible your loved one is jealous of your success. When the chips are down you’re more than a match for anyone. Your leadership ability is second to none. In fact, people often turn to you during their worst troubles, knowing that you will find inventive solutions. That’s something to be very proud of.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Take care not to burn too much midnight oil. Although you’ve been blessed with tremendous energy, even you can get wacked out and weary every now and again. Scale back your schedule a bit. It will be good for you to spend a couple of quiet evenings at home. A power struggle at work will erupt. You’re tired of being bossed around by someone who doesn’t have any authority over you. Standing up to them will cause some fireworks, but they’re long overdue.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You feel torn between following your heart and pleasing your pals. At some point, you have to set some boundaries. Although you love to be of service, that shouldn’t mean pushing your needs aside all the time. The next time you go out with a group, push your agenda. If your attempts aren’t successful, head off on your own. Your loved ones will be startled by your rebellious behaviour, but they’ll eventually come to respect it. There is such a thing as being too nice.
.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) If your domestic life is becoming a strain and if you’re not happy with where you live, it’s time to find another place. This may mean you have to take a second job or find a roommate, but that’s better than being miserable all the time. If you get a new job, it may be necessary to move to a new home. Although you don’t relish the prospect of all this change and upheaval, it’s a small price to pay for fulfilling your potential. Move beyond what is familiar. .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Do small things and do them well. Yes, you’ve experienced a string of bad breaks, but you’ve also had some good fortune along the way, too. Furthermore, you have some very supportive friends and relatives. Get into the habit of looking around you and counting your blessings. It may sound old fashioned, but this sort of positive outlook on life will help you see that there are opportunities for personal growth and even professional and financial success.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Going against your principles always unnerves you. You hate having to decide between standing up for your beliefs and protecting your interests but that’s what you have to do today. Ask a legal professional if you’re being asked to do something dubious. Their advice will be invaluable. Maybe you can draw things out so you won’t have to make a hard decision. It may sound as if you’re outing things off, but that may be your best way forward now.
.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You’ll have to relinquish an element of control if you’re going to preserve a close relationship. Although it scares you to leave a loved one to their own devices, you may have no choice. Exerting more pressure will only drive love from your door. Stop issuing orders and be receptive to their proposals. Be willing to put your faith in your partner. If you’re single it may be because you can be too demanding. Relax your standards, especially in the early phases of courtship.
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Isolating yourself from the world won’t solve anything. In fact, it will just add to your troubles. It’s essential to deal with someone or something that has been tormenting you for weeks. Take the direct approach. You have to draw a line in the sand and say things have got to change. Once you seize the initiative and make your position crystal clear to all and sundry you will find life gets easier and you will definitely feel more empowered and independent
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You’re losing valuable time. If you’re going to fulfil your dreams, you must buckle down. Set aside time every day to further your education, develop a creative project, or strengthen your body. A dreamy person like you needs to work according to a timeline. Without one, you’ll lose sight of your goals. Ask friends to hold you accountable. If certain people in your life encourage bad habits, stay away from them. It’s time to create a strong support network.
