Russell Grant’s Daily Horoscopes: Monday 4th April 2011




Aries (Mar21/Apr20) No words are said yet you sense or guess something’s about to happen before it does. This sudden spurt of psychic sensitivity could make for an entertaining day. You can almost read other people’s minds and everyone wants to know how you do it. Whether you’re subconsciously reading the signs around you, you’re picking up on body language, or you are genuinely tuned into spiritual vibrations, this lends an intriguing element to your relationships.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) The fact you and a friend don’t agree on several major issues doesn’t mean the relationship is almost over. If anyone can encourage others to celebrate your differences, it is you. Discuss but don’t argue. Debate but don’t let this turn into a quarrel. Just pop another cork, share your different views and enjoy each other’s company. Compromise and respect will help keep a friendship strong.
 .
Gemini (May22/June21) The end of a difficult project is nigh. You are glad of the support of someone who has been with you every step of the way. Options being discussed will catch your imagination. Later, you might witness someone getting away with doing something dishonest. Worry about your own safety could stop you from reporting them to the proper authorities in which case an anonymous phone call might ease your conscience.
 .
Cancer (June22/July23) You have fought your way up through all sorts of hardships and hurdles and at last you are starting to see positive results. Your deepest fears were that you weren’t up to the challenge and others would see you as being inadequate. Now you have proved to yourself and others exactly what you can do. You might expect new and even better opportunities to come your way as a result.
 .
Leo (July24/Aug23) Holding back does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking away, pretending you don’t see other people’s needs. A colleague’s struggles may be of no concern to you but you can’t watch someone in difficulty and do nothing about it. Out of the generosity of your heart volunteer to help someone who needs it. What will amaze them most is you hardly know each other yet you step in and give them so much of your time!
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sept23) You have ideas to simplify what is a costly system but you need backing from the appropriate authority. People have been looking at what needs to be done generally but you are more flexible in your thinking. You need to get other others to start questioning past successes and failures. Through analysing what has gone before, you are more likely to improve things in the future. Insist that everyone listens to what you say.
 .
Libra (Sept24/Oct23) Communication is key to gaining understanding in your relationships but you must instigate this yourself. Wait for one particular person to open up to you and you will wait forever. A friend or relative has closed their ears and their mind to anything outside their comfort zone. It will take patience and diplomacy to shake them out of this mindset but if you would like their support in an important concern, this is what you must do.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Distinguish the difference between love and passion before committing yourself to another. Anyone can feel passion for a person or cause but to surrender yourself to this completely might be a foolish move. You’ve always had high ideals when it comes to romance and your closest relationships. Passion enjoyed for a brief moment before it is gone is not enough for you. A relationship built on lust is unlikely to last. For you, it must be true love; nothing else will do.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You need to feel motivated whether to give time to better the community or to impress friends and family. Without an incentive, your interest will quickly wane. There’s a huge difference in the abilities of those around you. Some will give their best although they won’t come up to your standard of satisfaction. Praise them for having tried. Being able to help people improve their performance is another thing that keeps you inspired.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) If you have made a wrong decision or misinterpreted information, now is the time to admit it. Trying to bluff your way out of a muddle will only make it worse. With every untruth you dig yourself deeper into this mess. People won’t be as hostile as you imagine towards your apologies. Worst scenario is that someone will sulk for a few days but they will get over it. Clearing the air is the best thing you can do.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) It’s harder than you’d like to admit to handle the pressure of a possessive friendship. Someone’s asking questions and digging too deeply into your life. They don’t realise there are things about yourself you would prefer to remain private. You can understand it when others are curious about your interests, views and opinions. But that’s as far as you’re willing to go. Refuse point blank to reveal anything about your past, your relationships and your personal life that you’d rather not talk about.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Duty has a habit of encroaching upon personal desires. Are you shouldering too many burdens? Responsibilities seem to be increasing daily and you might feel as if you have the weight of the world and a few more planets on your shoulders. The home scene will probably be equally as frustrating, when instead of some quiet to round the day off a housemate or neighbour’s blaring music disrupts your peace.
