Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday 3rd January 2012


.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You're calling all the shots, which is just the way you like it! If you're up for a job, don't hesitate to ask for the salary you want. Employers are willing to dig deep for someone with your unique talent. You're not afraid to do what it takes to make a sale or attract a new client. Rivals are intimidated by your strength, and will lose virtually every contest with you. If you're happy with your current employer, there's a good chance you will get an impressive promotion.
  .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) An interest in foreign lands and cultures prompts you to adopt a new look. Experimenting with new colours and styles appeals to your artistic sensibilities. It also prompts you to pay more attention to your surroundings. This is a great time to redecorate a room that has always depressed you. If you're longing to take a trip, start exploring discount hotel rates and airfares. With a little digging, you'll find a fabulous travel package to a dream destination.
  .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Making a personal sacrifice will pay off handsomely. You have to think in terms for what is best for a loved one. Whether this means amending your drinking habits, changing your work schedule, or simply spending more time together, the result will be dramatic. Fortunately, you've always been very flexible. The idea of embarking on a new life together is enticing. Don't be surprised when your love life skyrockets as a result of these changes.
  .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Your personal power will be increased by a strategic alliance. Team up with someone who is an expert at establishing order. While your collaborator focuses on creating an effective chain of command, you can concentrate on creating desirable products and services. You're very imaginative when you're given clear guidelines. If you're looking to make a professional alliance, be sure to attend a glamorous party. Keep your ears open for somebody with a rich, velvety voice.
  .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You're about to be given new work responsibilities, which come as a welcome challenge. Lately, you've been bogged down by the boring routine. Now you're given a measure of creative freedom. Creating a more beautiful, harmonious work environment will make you very popular among your peers. Your boss will also be impressed when they notice how much more productive everyone becomes as a result. It's easy to dispatch duties when you're in pleasant surroundings.
  .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) A passionate romance gives you a sexy glow. It feels wonderful to be admired and worshipped. As a general rule, you prefer to serve loved ones. Take this opportunity to be waited upon. You're a lot more powerful than you realise. By learning to enjoy this influence in your personal life, you'll be able to wield it in other areas, too. Your intellectual abilities are excellent, and should be channelled into a writing project. If you play your cards right, you could have a best seller on your hands.
  .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Making a break with the past is critical to your emotional health. It doesn't matter if you had a happy or sad childhood. The important thing is to focus on the here and now. You have the power to devote your life to the things you love most: art, music, and beauty. If this means moving to a different neighbourhood or taking another job, so be it. Don't worry what your family of origin thinks of this transition. It's really none of their business.
  .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Getting involved with community affairs proves rewarding. You especially enjoy working alongside someone who knows how to have fun. You have to admit, you have a tendency to take life too seriously. When you're with your new friend, it's easy to laugh and enjoy simple pleasures like good food, rollicking parties, and outdoor pursuits. Creating a beautiful garden or recreation centre in your neighbourhood will make it even easier to relax. There's so much more to life than work.
  .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Maintaining a wise attitude about money is critical. It's important to have something to show for all of your hard work. In the past, 'easy come, easy go' was your motto. Now you're starting to crave some long term security. Having a nest egg will allow you to take the sort of work you enjoy. You have to admit, you're tired of having to take jobs out of sheer desperation. By starting a savings fund, you'll buy yourself an added measure of freedom.
  .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You're undergoing a profound personal change. Developing your expertise to diamond brilliance takes time, energy, and focus. Of course, you should take care you don't neglect your family along the way. At times, they resent all the attention you give your studies. By striving for more balance between your interests and relationships, you'll be much happier. Without your loved ones, all of this work would seem pretty meaningless.
  .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Working behind the scenes gives you an added measure of freedom. You're tired of having your every move criticised. Fortunately, you're about to preside over a discretionary fund. That means you'll be able to spend money any way you see fit. Naturally, you won't waste resources on senseless luxuries. You should invest in technology and training. This will make it much easier to get an edge on the competition. Your superior has chosen the right person to deal with the organisation's finances.
  .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You will be offered a leadership position in an organisation. Although you'd rather work as part of the team, you recognise the need for your expansive vision. You never let little things like money or tight deadlines get in the way of planning a truly marvellous event. Rely on your colleagues to stretch your resources and dispatch duties in record time. Your newfound power will attract lots of romantic interest. Maybe it's time to make a pass at the shy intellectual in your group.

Last night I had fallen asleep and was sudenly woken up by this song

Adele Lyrics - Someone Like you
.
I heard that you're settled down,
That you found a girl and you're married now,
I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you,
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light,

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,

Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah,

You know how the time flies,
Only yesterday was the time of our lives,
We were born and raised in a summer haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days,

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,

Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"

Nothing compares,
No worries or cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made,
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead.
