Russell Grant’s Weekly Horoscopes w.b. 14th January 2012

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You’re withdrawing from the social scene, at least temporarily. All of the partying over Christmas and New Year has finally caught up with you. Take this opportunity to put your feet up and let your hair down. Soak in the tub, get a massage, and take a few naps. It’s difficult for an active person like you to slow down, but pushing yourself harder will only result in burnout. Besides, you will enjoy the peace and quiet. It helps you to reconnect with your spiritual side.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) A goal is coming within reach and your friends are eager to help you attain it. At some point, you will clash with an oppressive, controlling person who thinks they know what is best for you. Nothing could be further from the truth. Keep developing your own methods, and don’t look to anyone else for approval. This is your chance to establish yourself as a unique and talented professional. You’re about to make some radical changes to a traditional form.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) You make a good impression on everyone so it’s a great time to go on job interviews and auditions. You have an open, compassionate quality that is tremendously appealing. Don’t bother hiding your vulnerabilities behind a curtain of toughness. By expressing your passion for life, you’ll land an exciting position with an artistic, cultural, or charitable institution. A romantic relationship is experiencing strain from a sexual or financial matter. It’s time for a heart to heart talk.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) A book about art, music, or photography catches your eye. Although it’s a little expensive, you should treat yourself to this beautiful work. You’re the type of person who needs creative inspiration, regardless of what field you occupy. An encouraging friend wants you to venture into greener pastures. You’re content to stay home, but a long distance trip will be good for you. Consider visiting an ancient city by the sea. It will set your creative juices flowing.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) An intimate relationship is heating up. It’s easy to let your defences down with your lover, who seems to know all your darkest secrets. Disappointing news about a job makes you wonder what you have to do to land a good position. The answer is more preparation. By taking classes in management and leadership, you’ll make a more forceful impression in interviews. You’ll also be able to get a nice little pay rise. Keep your playful side hidden until you get a firm offer.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) People will be very helpful this week, so it’s a great time to ask for a favour or launch a partnership. You work especially well with laid back creative types. Sometimes you’re a little too fastidious in your methods. By loosening up just a little, you’ll create some of the best work of your career. Are you looking for love? You will meet someone special at a local venue, dance club, or artistic get together. Keep an eye out for someone who doesn’t need to speak to make an impression.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Things are changing and changing for the better, but that doesn’t mean everything is plain sailing from now on. You may find yourself undermined by loved ones who question your motives and abilities. If you let them get to you then the hopes you have for the future could come to nothing. Put your bravest face on and go with the flow of events and don’t let anyone’s bitter criticisms, jokes or insults stop you.  You have what they want – a chance to move on to bigger and better things.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Love is in the air! If you’re in a relationship, make it your mission to bring total happiness to the one you adore. You’re very inventive when you put your mind to it. Pay special attention to their tastes and sensibilities. Pushing past a family inflicted taboo is critical. You have a right to enjoy life to the full. Talking to a sympathetic pal about this issue will help. You need a place where you can be completely honest, without fear of being chastened or chastised.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) A friend will offer to help do your place up, and who are you to refuse? As a general rule, you don’t put too much importance on your surroundings. Once you get to work you’ll quickly get a new appreciation for colour, texture, and form. Go ahead and splash out on beautiful furnishings and art. They will uplift and inspire you, even during your darkest days. Someone will ask for a loan, but beware, if you agree, you’ll never see your money again.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) This is a good week for meeting new neighbours especially when you find they may share your interests and enthusiasms. Watch the amount of time you spend in pleasures and pastimes outside your home. A loved one may feel left out in the cold.  Don’t go against your employer’s wishes or it could lead to trouble. By following instructions to the letter and refusing to cut corners, you will avoid problems. You can’t be too careful when it comes to work.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Are you always telling yourself “I can’t do this” or “I can’t do that”? It’s about time you took a more positive outlook and started believing in yourself. This week you will have a chance to go on the offensive and start making things happen. From your world of work to your love life and even your cash concerns this is your “Can do” time so make it work for you. Treat yourself to something special at the weekend, don’t count the cost, just go for it!
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Your charm, wit, and generous, open personality are your greatest assets. People are more than receptive to your plans, ideas and suggestions so if you’re hoping for a new job, going for a loan, waiting to pop the question or ask for a date this is the time to summon up your courage and go for it. If you don’t get an immediate “Yes” turn on your patient powers of persuasion. Sooner or later you’re going to get what you want and the world had better understand that!
