Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Friday 29th July 2011

.


Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Don't be careless with money. While it's admirable you don't put great emphasis on material goods, you still need to protect your interests. That means making your money work for you, instead of the other way around. Shop for bargains, choose quality goods over cheap throwaways, and stay away from expensive status symbols. Sure, you can splurge on the occasional high priced gadget that gives you pleasure, but for the most part, you need to be frugal during these uncertain times.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) There's a good chance you'll miss an important appointment. Check your calendar and call to reconfirm appointments. Keep your mobile fully charged, just in case you hit traffic or have a last minute emergency. Make sure all of your contact numbers are current and stored in your phone. If somebody stands you up, try not to take it personally. There's a lot of cosmic confusion about. Have you missed a deadline? Call the person in charge and explain what happened. A sincere apology is in order.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Your employer doesn't care whether you have family obligations. Their only concern is getting more hours from you. While you really want to keep your job, you're also determined not to go back on a promise to a relative. Take a brave stance, even if it means having your pay docked or being assigned a terrible shift. Your colleagues will come to your defence. You're not the type who enjoys causing trouble, but sometimes you must, if only to adjust the scales of justice.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Looking at life through rose tinted glasses is getting you in trouble. If you've fallen in love with someone, you have to acknowledge their flaws, as well as their strengths. Refusing to do so will set you both up for disappointment. Similarly, you need to complain if you're not happy with a service or product. You deserve to get your money's worth. At first, your concerns will fall on deaf ears. By refusing to back down and taking the issue to the top, you'll get restitution.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Mixing medications can have a bad result, so if you're feeling tired or nervous, visit the doctor. It could be necessary to adjust some dosages or eliminate some medicines altogether. It's also important to avoid alcohol if you're driving or operating heavy machinery. Your system is easily compromised now. You need to guard your health as you would a precious jewel. If that means depriving yourself of your favourite vices, so be it.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) A close relationship is on shaky ground. Part of the reason is you are not generous in a way your partner finds meaningful. For instance, you may think the best way of helping your friend is by doing chores or making money. While these gestures are certainly kind, they may not be the sorts of things your loved one needs. Kind words and loving gestures mean a lot and cost very little. Be a little more praiseworthy. A foot massage or back rub will go over well.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) There many of strings attached to a gift, so it's better not to accept it. Somebody is trying to gain influence with you, which put you in a dangerous position. You're better off meeting obligations on your own, even if it takes you a lot of time to repay a debt. If the spice has gone out of an intimate relationship, you need to fight to put it back. Have a heart to heart discussion with your lover. Be honest about your desires, even if they are a little embarrassing.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You're a little more impressionable than usual, making you vulnerable to slick salespeople. When in doubt, keep your money safely in the bank, where it belongs. A seemingly miraculous product will be a huge disappointment. Worst of all, you won't be able to return it for a refund. If you're looking for something to ease your aches and pains, cook up some comfort food. Watch an old romantic movie. Listen to your favourite music from childhood.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Someone will try to blame you for a problem you didn't create, so be prepared to defend yourself. The more calm and rational your demeanour, the easier it will be to find the true culprit. You don't realise it, but you've been the target of tremendous envy. Your peers are jealous you can accomplish so much with such little effort. What they don't realise is you have worked hard to develop your technique. Your superior skills are the result of time, dedication, and talent.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Don't join a controversial group. Although many of your friends are members, you disagree with this organisation's methods. You don't want to be implicated in these actions when negative publicity comes to light. Spending more time on creative endeavours is favoured. You've been blessed with artistic talent, so put it to work. You can be very good with your hands. If it sounds like fun, try it! You may be able to sell the fruits of your labour.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You've been isolated from the group, which isn't fair. Still, there's not much you can do to change the situation, so you might as well make the best of it. Take this opportunity to catch up on your reading, develop a solo gig, or get some rest. Eventually, the group will miss your input and beg you to return. When this happens, you'll be able to set new terms which are much more in keeping with your interests.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Don't let a manipulative pal or partner take advantage of you. You've always had a soft heart, which makes you a prime target for con artists. Right now the biggest threat to your security is someone who is close to your heart. Just because you have a loving relationship doesn't mean you're obligated to sacrifice everything for your partner. You work hard for your money, and should be able to spend it on your own happiness and security.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Thursday 28th July 2011

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Having more fun has become increasingly important. Recently, you've devoted a lot of energy to your family. While it gives you pleasure to help your relatives, there is more to life than responsibility. Playing sports, luxuriating in the sun, and flirting are all ways to lift your spirits. If you're not feeling physically fit, step up your exercise routine. Aerobic activities like walking, jogging, and swimming will keep depression at bay and give you a sexy glow.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Having a comfortable home is very important to you. If there's anything you can't stand, it's being surrounded by fragile objects and pale colours. Such surroundings make it impossible to relax and have fun. Fortunately, you have marvellous taste. Creating an atmosphere that is a feast for the senses comes naturally to you. Beware of a tendency towards accumulating clutter. Filling every last space with stuff creates a feeling of claustrophobia.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Flattery will get you everywhere, especially with family members. Whether you realise it or not, your relatives are eager for your approval. They see you as an arbiter of taste. When you express admiration for their plans and abilities, they feel as if they're on the right track. Bored? It may be time to relocate to a glamorous neighbourhood. Being surrounded by gorgeous architecture and successful people will prompt you to develop your artistic talent.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) It's important to be paid what you are worth. In this economy, people have a tendency to accept whatever is offered as compensation. You won't make the same mistake. By insisting on being paid a fair wage, you'll win the respect of your employers. Negotiating a contract is highly favoured. Go over the terms with a fine toothed comb. You don't want to be bound by an agreement that works against you in the long term. Talk to a legal professional about forging a better deal.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You're generous and warm hearted, but that doesn't mean you're a pushover. Rather, you look for people who are worthy of your love and affection. Some people accuse you of being too picky, but they don't understand your true nature. When you form an attachment, it's very difficult to detach. That's why you're so slow to embark on relationships. You'll only give your heart away after someone passes a few tests of loyalty. After that, you're totally willing to abandon yourself to love.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Contrary to popular belief, you're a lot more proud than you pretend. Although you don't ask for a lot of recognition, you actually crave it. Working on creative projects you really love will satisfy this hunger. You know when you've created something truly beautiful. Once you're finished, you'll decide to show it off in some public forum. This will be your big chance to make a name in your desired industry. Don't be afraid of your own success. It is virtually guaranteed.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You need your friends around you now. It's hard for a sociable creature like you to operate in a vacuum. Lately, it feels as if you've been embraced for what you do, not who you are. By spending time with people who genuinely care for you, it will be easier to get a sense of perspective. Beware of being overly critical of your efforts. Yes, there is always room for improvement, but what you don't realise is that you're already operating at a very high level.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Demand credit for a job well done. Although you enjoy working behind the scenes, you can't stand it when others lay claim to your work. By accepting a prominent title, you'll finally get the recognition you are due. Granted, you'll have to appear before the public more often, but that will be a small price to pay. When you grow tired of being put on a pedestal, you can always spend time with friends, who will bring you back down to earth.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You long to explore glamorous vistas and fortunately, you can do this through the magic of art. Watch some movies set in an exotic locale. Read books that take place in an ancient setting. Listen to music from a far flung country. The more you expand your horizons, the happier you will be. This taste for the unfamiliar will serve you well in your job. Go ahead and integrate different cultural styles into a high profile project. The results will be impressive.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) A generous legal settlement, dividend, or refund puts you in a strong financial position. This is a wonderful time to take a trip abroad. Visit a city known for its cultural sophistication. You'll have a wonderful time going to plays, concerts, and museums. It's possible this journey will inspire you to study for a degree. You've been blessed with so many talents. Just because you're an expert in one field doesn't mean you can't achieve excellence in another.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Someone who is dynamic, vital, and dominating has utterly captivated you. Teaming up with such a strong personality is a little overwhelming. At times, you feel overshadowed by their charisma. When this happens, you've got to assert yourself. Demand what you want in bed, even if it's embarrassing. When you're sexually fulfilled, you radiate confidence. This puts you on a more level playing field. Single? You'll meet someone special at a movie, play, or concert.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You're never happier than when you do a good job. People have a tendency to write you off as a flaky artist. They don't realise how truly impressive your talents are. All it takes is the right challenge. When you're engaged with a task, you'll make sure you put a really impressive, creative spin on it. What you really need is an agent or manager to promote your skills, so you are free to focus on what you do best. Brokering deals holds no charm for you.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday 27th July 2011

.


Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Your distinctive appearance creates lots of excitement on the romantic market. Several suitors are competing for your affection. If you're already in a relationship, take this opportunity to put the spice back into your union. Take your amour away to an ultra glamorous city, where the two of you can mingle with the best and brightest. If you are thinking of changing your appearance, this would be a great time to do so. Opt for a look that sets you apart from the crowd.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Working alone from home makes your productivity soar. You're very creative, but get discouraged when forced to operate alongside hypercritical people. Your best efforts occur when left to your own devices. This is a good time to create an attractive home office. Pick a place in your home that is flooded with sunlight. At the very least, paint your workroom bright yellow. A stimulating environment will prompt you to push your talent farther than ever before.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) The results of a test finally arrive, and you're thrilled with the outcome. This is your big chance to enter an exclusive organisation. The people you'll meet at this institution will further your professional prospects. Don't hesitate to ask one of your new friends for letters of recommendation. Right now, whom you know is just as important as what you know. Someone will invite you on a trip to their holiday home. Take this offer; you could use a break.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Taking the helm of a cutting edge institution puts more money in your pocket. Don't take this income for granted. By putting a large chunk into savings, you'll protect yourself from leaner times ahead. Increased wealth isn't the only benefit to this position. You'll get favourable publicity, too. Making a name for yourself in an unusual field will give you a greater measure of freedom. You'll be able to travel and study while getting paid to do so.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You'll be able to gain access to an exclusive cultural, religious, or educational institution. Although you're a wild card, members will welcome you with open arms. You inject a breath of fresh air into the proceedings. If you're thinking of writing a book, now is a good time to do so. Don't worry about making the material more accessible. Actually, the more specialised your subject matter, the more successful your book will be. You gain success by distinction.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) An electric sexual attraction springs up between you and a glamorous newcomer. It will be impossible to stay away from each other, even if you're involved with other people. Perhaps this is a sign you should inject more excitement into your life. Although you've always derived comfort from familiar routines, it's important to break away from them every once in a while. Experiment with different lovemaking techniques. Try new looks. Explore strange places.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) No wonder so many people are attracted to you! You're smart, witty, and charming. If you have a lover, several rivals will come forward to steal you away. It's gratifying to get all of this attention. Plus it will put your partner on notice about what a treasure you really are. Single? You will meet someone special through a blind date. Let a generous friend set you up with a mutual acquaintance. You'll admire your date's warmth and vivacity, while they'll appreciate your grace and elegance.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Be willing to accept an unusual work assignment. Your success with this project will result in a raise, promotion, or both. If you're unemployed, this is a good time to fill out a slew of applications. Getting advanced computer training will make you a hot commodity on the job market. Stop telling yourself you're not technically adept. With the help of a right teacher, you'll get a real taste for the subject, and may even become an expert in your field.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Go ahead and splurge on a holiday; sitting behind a desk all day makes you miserable. Head for a sun drenched spot that allows you to hike, bike, and swim with abandon. If you're out of shape, this is the perfect opportunity to resume a more active lifestyle. Granted, you'll have to start out slow, but you'll feel immediate relief upon moving your body. Once you return home, you'll be sufficiently motivated to make exercise part of your daily routine.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Making big changes to your household will put an end to a power struggle. A relative or roommate appreciates your willingness to compromise. By giving just a little, you'll lay the groundwork for a happy, harmonious domestic life. Are you thinking of moving to a new neighbourhood? Explore properties in an up and coming area. You'll be able to get a generous bank loan. The powers that be are anxious for stable homeowners to relocate to this community, and you're eager to take advantage of a good deal.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Don't beat around the bush when talking to someone you fancy. You're not interested in playing cat and mouse with the object of your affection. Fortunately, your amour is impressed with your bold approach, and will respond with enthusiasm. If you're in a relationship, take this opportunity to resolve a problem that has dragged on for months. Going on a short trip together will allow you to see the issue from a different perspective.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Selling your creative work will increase your income. Although you're not especially materialistic, you do appreciate beautiful clothing, artwork and furnishings. Take this opportunity to buy some luxuries. You're long overdue for a splurge. If you're looking for work, explore opportunities related to childcare, entertainment, or gambling. Your new job will involve unorthodox hours, but that's all right. You've always been a night owl.

Russell Grant’s Weekly Horoscopes w.b. 23rd July 2011

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You must make more time for fun, even at the risk of displeasing your boss and workmates. Usually, people rely on you to pick up the slack at home and work and while you’re happy to do just that it can be exhausting from time to time. Maybe the times is right to drop some responsibilities. Head out to a game, play, or concert. Take a trip. Arrange a romantic dinner. Do whatever appeals to your sense of play. Rams need to run free!
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Your thoughts turn to the past, making you question some of the ways you were raised. It doesn’t matter if you had a happy or sad childhood. The important thing is to explore how your family shaped your attitudes. If certain beliefs no longer ring true, feel free to ditch them. Developing your own moral code will be very liberating. Friends might be dismayed at the changes you make to your personal life because they’re worried you’ll abandon them. Reassure them.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Channel your energy into things that lift your spirits. Art, music, and theatre are particularly rewarding areas to explore. You’ve been blessed with a vivid imagination so use it to create works of beauty. If you feel like you’re out of your depth, reach out to a relative whose talents you admire. Taking on a mentor will help you delve into areas that previously intimidated you. Don’t show your first attempts to others. Give yourself permission to be a beginner.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Seeking an additional source of income is a good idea. Alternatively, you might want to make improvements to your property. You have the ingenuity and drive to further your fortune. It’s all a matter of summoning your leadership ability. If you’re willing to venture into unfamiliar territory, others will follow and lend their support. This is a great time to start your own business or invent a product. Learning about mechanics and electronics will be a very good plan.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Your star power is strongly pronounced. Fame, fortune, and favourable publicity will be yours. It’s all a matter of drawing attention to your work and talent. Jealous types will make barbed remarks about your behaviour, but that’s because they don’t have the courage to go after their dreams. You’re smart enough to know that you are your own best advocate and you’re brave enough to withstand criticism for the sake of fulfilling your goals.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) All sorts of challenges are being thrown at you now. Strangely, the best way to deal with them is through resignation. By refusing to put up a fight, you’ll give your enemies pause. You’ll also teach yourself a valuable lesson about faith. By putting your trust in a higher power, you’ll gain a sense of peace and contentment you would never get by trying to fix problems yourself. You have to admit, you’re tired of feeling like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Your social life is picking up, and it’s about time! You’re tired of spending all your time and energy on work. Plan some fun outings with your favourite folk. If that means taking a few days off, so be it. Going to a play, concert, or dance performance will be especially fulfilling. For you, art and beauty are as important as food and water. When you keep putting these essentials aside for the sake of work, you’re depriving yourself of essential soul food.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) The chance to scramble up the ladder of success is at an all time high. Take this opportunity to apply for a promotion or high profile job. Work related to the performing arts is especially favoured. You might also find success in the realm of education or childcare. It doesn’t really matter what you go for so long as it involves a sense of fun. Getting paid to do something you love is a fabulous feeling. Summon your courage and go after the kind of job you’ve always wanted.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Travel, writing, and education are all beckoning you. Doing the same thing day after day dulls your spirits. You don’t get much comfort from familiar routines. Luckily, the Universe is sending some adventure your way. Be willing to accept the offer of a trip or free class. You can always make arrangements for childcare or time off work later. The critical thing is to seize opportunities when they present themselves. If you don’t, a rival will steal your thunder.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) An intimate relationship will undergo a radical change. If you’ve been bored with your love life, now is the time to spice things up. Demonstrate what you want from your partner, even at the risk of embarrassment. You may be delighted by their reaction. If you’re single, it’s time to play up your sensual side. Take note of which colours, fabrics, and fashions look best on you. Don’t be afraid to wear things that accentuate your natural sexiness.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Admit you need a helping hand. You’ve always been independent preferring to support yourself, but right now you don’t have the resources or energy to do so. Fortunately, you have lots of friends and relatives who want to lend assistance. State your needs openly and honestly. Try not to feel resentful. By making yourself accessible to others, all of your relationships will improve. You have to let down your defences in order for love to flow in.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Leading a purposeful life is your first priority. Finding ways to make other people’s lives easier or bearable is your greatest joy. At work, you seek to relieve colleagues of their burdens and lift the spirits of the public. At home, you make special treats for your friends and family. If you feel as if your efforts are unappreciated, maybe it’s time to serve yourself. Go on a new fitness regime that allows time to enjoy healthy meals, brisk exercise and plenty of sleep.
