Russell Grant’s Weekly Horoscopes w.b. 30th July 2011

.



Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Put work on the backburner and have some fun for a change! This is a great time to take a small gamble. Ask someone on a date, buy a single lottery ticket, or submit your creative work to a competition. Don’t bother trying to blend in with the crowd. You make the best impression by standing out, cutting a dash and making a splash. That shouldn’t be too difficult for a pioneer like you! Venturing into unfamiliar territory will pay off in surprising ways.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Positive changes are taking place on the home front. Whether you move to house, redecorate some rooms, or plan an extension, the results will be spectacular. You thrive in beautiful surroundings, and shouldn’t feel guilty about splurging on your domain. Trust your impulses when it comes to dealing with a difficult family matter. An unorthodox solution will make everyone happy. Don’t worry what the neighbours will say; it’s none of their business!
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Good news about a youngster or lover reaches your ears, prompting a big celebration. Take this opportunity to head for an unusual beauty spot with friends. This place will be off the beaten path, making you appreciate it all the more. If there’s anything you love, it’s exploring uncharted territory. You’ll have to fight to get the sort of pay you deserve, but stick to your guns and make your point through sheer tenacity. You have to promote yourself once in a while.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) A fresh source of income arrives and now you can afford to treat yourself. This is a lovely time to splash out clothes, jewellery, and some of life's little luxuries. Normally, any time you get extra cash, you spend it on your family. This time around, you have to indulge yourself. Hold back from telling people about your good fortune, or everyone will run to you with their hands out. If someone is genuinely in need you will know what to do to help them out.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You’ll turn heads wherever you go. If you’re single, there’s a good chance you’ll strike up a romance with an adventurous foreigner. Let your admirer whisk you away on a glamorous trip to their homeland. You’re sure to have a ton of fun. Your boss may not be happy when you ask for time off, but press the issue anyway. You’re not the type who can be held fast by a job. When forced to choose between work and amusement, you’ll always pick the latter.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) At long last you can take a break from all the frenetic socialising that has been crowding your schedule! This is an excellent time to take a vacation, or at least a long weekend away. Retreating to somewhere quiet, contemplative and uplifting will help you reconnect with your love of beauty. Suddenly you’ll find you absolutely must treat yourself to a few of the finer things of life. Go ahead and splurge even if it goes against your frugal instincts.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) A new set of friends brings you lots of fun and laughter. You share a love of art, music, and luxury. If you’re single, it’s entirely possible you’ll meet the love of your life through one of your new associations. Keep your eyes open for someone unconventional who sparks with energy and enthusiasm. The two of you will be an interesting study in contrasts. Remember to take your work seriously. Slacking off could result in a dismissal. You should be careful about fulfilling your duties.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) An exciting job offer is coming your way. It looks like there is an element of glamour surrounding this position. Boost your wardrobe with a couple of eye catching pieces; you must fit in with the office culture to succeed. If you’re not sure what to buy, take along a stylish Leo or Libran friend on your shopping spree. A loved one feels threatened by your new position. Do your best to assuage their fears. Change is never easy, but it can lead to wonderful things.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Taking an adventurous trip will lift your spirits. You’re tired of toiling away while everybody else heads off in search of sun and fun. Happily, a loved one makes it possible for you to take a wee break. Be sure to pack lots of sportswear, as it looks as if you’ll be quite active while you’re away. In fact, you may discover a love of exercise on this journey. A restless spirit like yours is never happy when forced to sit for hours on end.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Your love life is taking a torrid turn giving you a very sexy glow. It feels good to get back in touch with your sensual side. At times, you get so wrapped up in work that you ignore your romantic and amorous needs. Now you’re being given a chance to delve into the deep well of desire that dwells within. A surprising turn of events on the home front may prompt you to move. Fortunately, you’re very excellently placed to qualify for a bank loan.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) A close alliance will be forged, making life considerably easier for you. Whether you decide to embark on a romance or business partnership is immaterial. The important thing is to reach out to someone who balances you in some way. While you prefer building castles in the air your partner has their feet planted firmly on the ground. Together, you can work wonders. Donate time, money, or both to a charitable cause. It’s the best way to celebrate your good fortune.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) There’s never been a better time to go on a health enhancing course of action. Eating regularly, healthily and wisely will have an immediate impact on your appearance. Your hair will shine, your skin will glow, and everyone will want to know your secret! The secret to your success is setting modest goals. Instead of overhauling your entire routine at once, take baby steps toward the new you. That way, you will know that slowly and surely is the best way to do these things.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Saturday 30th July 2011

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) A love affair has given you a new lease on life. Thanks to the influence of your amour, you've gathered the courage to return to a childhood hobby. Working with metal will be especially fun. You'll take lots of pleasure in rebuilding cars, making jewellery, or tinkering with tools. Changing your appearance will attract lots of admiring glances. Give your hair or face a distinctive appearance. Who wants to blend in when you can make a splash instead?
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Buying or selling a house is highly favoured. If you want to purchase a home, put in a low offer. It will be accepted at the last minute. Alternatively, if you've put your place on the market, you'll get an eager buyer who wants to close the deal as quickly as possible. Go ahead and accept their proposal; it will give you the freedom to move somewhere more in keeping with your needs. Surprising revelations about a family member are music to your ears.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) This is a great time to extend an olive branch to a relative or neighbour. It doesn't matter what you argued about in the past. That's all water under the bridge. By renewing your friendship, the two of you will be able to take advantage of some exciting opportunities ahead. Joining an unusual group will allow you both to develop your unique talents. When either one of you feels insecure, you'll be able to turn to each other for support.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) A fresh source of income becomes available, right in the nick of time. An authority figure will step down from their job, leaving a free spot at a prominent company. Throw your hat in the ring. You will be among the most attractive candidates. When called in for an interview, dress with elegant distinction. Emphasise your unique achievements. Be as forceful in your opinions as possible. Setting yourself apart from the crowd is critical to your success.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) It's time to reinvent yourself. You're eager to try a new sport or hobby. There will probably be an element of danger involved, which worries your loved ones. Still, you're not willing to take a cautious approach to ease their fears. Living on the edge gives you a sexy sparkle that turns heads. If you're thinking of travelling to some exotic land, make arrangements now. You'll find several inexpensive last minute deals, but you must move like lightning to secure the one you want.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Working alone gives you a great deal of pleasure as lately, a supervisor has been making your life miserable. They have stopped you putting a creative spin on your efforts. Now this pest has vanished into the woodwork, you're able to do as you please. A business or romantic partner will get a raise, and you'll indirectly benefit from their luck. Take this opportunity to develop a creative talent. Taking private lessons from a local expert is the best way forward.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Your social circle is expanding, putting you in contact with exciting new people. If you're single, you'll forge a romantic relationship with one of these newcomers. The object of your affection will be dynamic and unpredictable. You'll become much more spontaneous as a result. This is a good thing for an indecisive person like you. Let your partner take the lead, at least in the initial stages of your relationship. Later, you'll become more assertive about your desires, much to the delight of your amour.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Get ready for your close up! You'll get all sorts of favourable publicity for a recent accomplishment. Don't be surprised if you're offered an unusual work assignment as a result. The hours will be long and unpredictable, but they'll draw on your special talent. Accepting this position will give you a new lease on life. It will also give you the intellectual stimulation you crave. Dull routines have a way of dampening your spirits. It's time to shake up your old routine.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You've always wanted to write a book and now is a good time to start one. Don't worry about what others will think of your work. Just set pen to paper and get to work. You can always edit the pages later. Right now, you need to cultivate ideas and nurture them. Fortunately, a dynamic friend will be happy to help you, whether it's offering encouragement or running errands while you're busy working. Whatever form their help takes, be sure to welcome it with open arms.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You're coming to terms with the fact you have some dark desires and impulses. There's nothing wrong with that. Actually, it's an essential part of being human. By indulging a love of horror movies, true crime books, or gossip columns, you'll feel less edgy. Don't bother justifying your taste to judgmental relatives. They're prisoners to convention. The more you follow your instincts, the happier you'll be and the easier it is to find the love you deserve.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) A close relationship is undergoing an important change. Either you or your partner will be going on a series of short trips. This will leave the other one to hold down the fort. When things like this happen, it's important for both people to express appreciation for what the other is doing. It's never easy to be apart. Still, if you remain attentive and caring, you'll emerge from this challenge happier and stronger than ever. Besides, you always enjoy getting an extra measure of independence.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Establishing a regular routine will make you a lot more productive. When left to your own devices, you have a tendency to daydream. Take this opportunity to create a schedule. Be sure to allow for regular breaks. By following this timetable, you'll be able to do your work and have time left for rest and relaxation. You'll also be able to accept freelance jobs that put extra money in your pocket. Use your earnings to buy a new computer, phone, or car.

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.
