Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Sunday 15th January 2012

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You're able to spin straw into gold. Marketing a creative idea will take skill, wit, and cunning. Fortunately, you've got all of these skills in spades. A hidden benefactor who has always admired your work will give you an impressive cash infusion. Don't embarrass this angel by shining the spotlight on their contribution. Not everybody is intent on being centre stage. Some prefer operating by stealth. It's up to you to make the most of their generosity. Stretch those resources to the snapping point.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Your creativity is operating at full force. This is a lovely time to launch an artistic effort with a team of fellow artists. You'll probably be given the leadership spot, since you're always thinking about the practical aspects of any given job. While you have a deep appreciation for visionaries, you're always asking how to bring their ideas out of the dream state and into the real world. Don't let any martyrs slow your progress. People who are easily discouraged have no place in your organisation.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Helping people from behind the scenes gives you a great deal of satisfaction. You're great at connecting vulnerable people with valuable resources. Working for a charitable organisation would be a great avenue to explore. Alternatively, you might just want to volunteer for an animal shelter, environmental agency, or housing institution. That way, you can work as much or little you desire. Having a flexible schedule takes the pressure off the proceedings. A gracious manager will go out of their way to thank you for your contributions.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Make time in your schedule for your nearest and dearest. Relationships are incredibly important to you. Unfortunately, you have a tendency to put work before pleasure. When this happens, life becomes incredibly depressing. Connecting with people who make you laugh puts everything back in its proper perspective. If you have a friend who is about to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or graduation, throw them a big party.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You and the spotlight go together like strawberries and cream. It gives you so much pleasure to turn heads at a party. Fortunately, you look fantastic and won't have any trouble attracting romantic attention. Be sensitive to your lover's feelings. Being involved with someone sexy can be challenging. Reassure your amour with passionate kisses, affectionate squeezes, and whispered words of devotion. It's never too late to rekindle a courtship. Are you single? You won't be for long.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) This is a fabulous time to go on a long distance trip. Wherever you go, you will be sure to be a big favourite with the locals. They have an affinity for your special brand of charm. If you're in a relationship, you'll have to fight the advances of at least one ardent admirer. If you're single, you'll feel attracted to creative, unworldly types. On the surface, the two of you are complete opposites. Deep down you share many spiritual values.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Your sexual side demands expression. If you're single, treat yourself to some gorgeous clothes that accentuate your most attractive features. When you look good, you exude an air of sensuality that is incredibly inviting. You won't have any trouble attracting admiring glances when you're wearing flattering colours and cuts. You don't need a reason to dress up. By taking extra care with your appearance each day, you'll find an outlet for your physical desires.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Teaming up with an unapologetic sensualist opens new doors for you. At times, you are afraid to ask for what you really want. Once you have this partner at your side, it will be easier to ask for the best table, the choicest food, and the most luxurious accommodations. You'll also reconnect with your romantic side. Past disappointments can make you cynical. You need an optimist to rekindle your heartfelt wish for passion, adventure, and tenderness. Fairy tales really do come true.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You cut through chores like a hot knife through butter. This is a perfect opportunity to launch a big housecleaning project. After you've finished getting rid of all the clutter and tidying up the remains, add a few beautifying touches. A bouquet of fresh flowers, a bowl heaped with fruit, a strategically positioned painting all of these things will afford you great pleasure. Your domestic environment has a tremendous impact on your emotional landscape.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You're bursting with energy, and yearn for a challenging creative project. Fortunately, your boss will give you just such an assignment. This is your chance to establish yourself as a leading expert in your field. You're able to create products and services that are both practical and pleasurable. People are willing to pay lots of money for the things you develop. If you're smart, you'll offer a reduced priced option to maximise its consumer base.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Kindness and generosity characterise everything you do. By helping a relative finance tuition costs, a long distance trip, or artistic endeavour, you'll win their everlasting loyalty. It gives you great pleasure to be a force for good. It's so easy to get discouraged by all the bad news bombarding us each day. Championing the underdog is your way of adjusting the balance of power. This is also a great time to buy a beautiful property by the water.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Flattery will get you everywhere. You know just what to say to get powerful people to grant you favours. There's no need to apologise for your behaviour. At least your motives are good. By getting the money and resources you need, you'll create wonderful works of beauty for the public to enjoy. Your artistic efforts are destined to get lots of favourable publicity. Don't be surprised if you're asked to teach a class or write a column.
