Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Monday 12th December 2011

.
.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) An obsession with power is making you miserable. You've always enjoyed being immersed in a competitive atmosphere, but this situation is dulling your compassion. Your nearest and dearest need your nurturing influence. They're tired of waiting for you to come home from long business trips and endless meetings. Take this opportunity to alter your schedule. You might even decide to find less demanding work, especially if you have small children.
  .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to make a friend see reason. Your loved one is trapped by an obsession. If they are to break the spell, it will because of their own decision. There's a good chance you will not be able to condone their behaviour any longer. Put some space between you, at least until a fundamental change occurs. You can't afford to tie yourself to someone who continues to defy social convention.
  .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Your reliance on somebody is making you vulnerable. It's time to create a little financial security for yourself, no matter how much you trust your partner. If you don't have an independent source of income, you've got to find one. It doesn't matter if it's a full time job or temporary work walking dogs. The important thing is to have resources that are all your own. Don't put your earnings into a joint account. Put them in a good, stable savings account with only your name on it.
  .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) A legal matter is undermining your health and happiness. It may be better to settle out of court than press the matter. It's even possible you will have to take a loss. Consider what it will cost if this issue consumes your attention for months or even years. Admit you made a mistake, forge an agreement, and move on. Don't let well intentioned buddies make you feel bad about abandoning ship. You're ready to make a fresh start. Leave the past behind, and don't look back.
                         .                         
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) It will be impossible to heal if you keep dwelling on your fears. If you have trouble getting over a terrible trauma, get professional help. Choose a nurturing therapist who takes a gentle approach. Together, you can formulate strategies to overcome your pain. Your heartache will never vanish entirely, but it will slowly lose its power over you, provided you address it. Beware of colleagues taking credit for your work. It's important to establish a paper trail for all of your contributions.
  .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) A creative block is driving you crazy. You can't help but feel it would go away if you had more privacy. Unfortunately, friends need your help. You'll have to put a project aside to assist somebody move. Try not to dwell on your disappointment. The sooner you get started with this endeavour, the easier it will be to enter into the proper spirit of it. As a general rule, you love being of service to others. It's just difficult when you're suddenly forced to switch gears.
  .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Powerful feelings are building, making it difficult to maintain your composure. An authority figure that pushes your buttons will go too far. You're sick of pretending their insensitivity doesn't bother you. Unfortunately, others are counting on you to maintain a tone of civility. If you break under the pressure, chaos will ensue. Find an outlet for your frustrations. Invite friends over for a party. Sharing a good meal with your nearest and dearest is a wonderful way to relieve stress.
  .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Getting pulled into a virtual relationship will cause you a great deal of pain. Yes, it's fun creating an online identity, where you seem calm, witty, and in control at all times. Ultimately such relationships are unsatisfying. Move your focus to a person who knows and accepts you, warts and all. Be ready to accept their constructive criticisms, and change your behaviour when it causes problems. That's the only way you can realise your full potential.
  .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) It's difficult not to dwell on your desire for money. Everybody else seems to be thriving while you struggle to make ends meet. What you don't realise is that you're smart enough to stay true to the people and activities that make you happy. You've never lost sight of your passions, which is why you choose to take work beneath your ability. Finding a way to get paid for work you love is the challenge. Until that happens, don't be too hard on yourself.
  .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) A need for security conflicts with your desire to make personal changes. You have to make a choice between doing what is right for your family and satisfying your personal urges. The prospect of holding a prestigious position is tempting, but a loved one's loyalty is even more precious. Don't throw a beautiful relationship away for the sake of vanity. You're better off maintaining the status quo, at least for the short term future. Bigger and better chances will come later.
  .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You're very isolated now. Colleagues have little sympathy for your position, and will force you to handle projects alone. Although you're capable of the work involved, you're lonely doing it. It might be time to find another position, one that allows you to work as a member of the team. Your superior knowledge is now a source of jealousy, but it doesn't have to be that way. Find an employer who makes a point of cultivating an atmosphere of cooperation.
  .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Friends are pressuring you to make a move, and you're not ready. You'd rather focus on an activity or relationship that gives you pleasure. Granted, there are problems with your new pastime, but you're still too attached to it. Dropping it now will become a cause of great regret. Continue to follow your heart, even if it leads to great pain. If you're disappointed, take responsibility for your decisions. Don't blame anyone else for your heartache. Take solace you were true to yourself.

From: BBCNewsHeadlines  | Dec 11, 2011
The UK's financial regulator will be highly critical of its own role in its report into the circumstances surrounding the collapse of the Royal Bank of Scotland, the BBC has learned.

Many aspects of the Financial Service Authority's work were "inadequate" or "deficient", Monday's report will say.

But the BBC understands the regulator will say that the ultimate failure of RBS in 2008 was a result of decisions made by the bank's management.
