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.

Adele "Someone Like You" music video (live from the Albert Hall London) and Lyrics

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.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Monday 2nd January 2012

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Muddled instructions make it difficult to do your job. You'll need to ask for clarification. Don't be surprised when your superior is angered by your request. That's because they're not sure what to do, either, and just want to pass on the mess to you. Stick to your guns and keep asking for precise directions. You're not afraid of confrontation. Besides, you'll just have to begin again if you take the wrong tack. Why waste valuable time and energy just for the sake of keeping the peace?
  .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Think twice before getting involved in a tempestuous love affair. Although you're attracted to a passionate lover, you aren't the type who enjoys constant emotional upheavals. Hold out for someone who wants to make life easier for you, rather than defy you at every turn. If you're already in a relationship, you will find your partner being extremely disagreeable. It's almost as if they want to start an argument. Don't take the bait.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Domestic squabbles make this a tiresome day. You simply can't get any relatives or roommates to cooperate. If you're looking to find someone to do repairs, you should wait for another few days, until an expert's schedule clears up. Hiring someone with a dodgy reputation will only end in disaster. This is not a good time to discuss moving in with a lover or applying for a home loan. Household matters are a source of annoyance. You're better off focusing on career prospects.
  .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Take it easy while driving; if someone cuts you up, let them go their merry way. Displays of road rage will just escalate the problem. Leave plenty of time before embarking on a plane or train trip, and make sure to bring diverting reading materials. It's possible you could hit traffic en route to the airport or station. Alternatively, your flight or train could be delayed. It will be extremely difficult to get where you want in a direct, easy fashion. Postponing your journey altogether is your best bet.
  .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) This is an unfavourable time to make expensive purchases or take even modest gambles. You're better off keeping your money in the bank, where it will be safe from wild changes of fortune. A child or lover is clamouring for a gift you can't afford. Instead of putting yourself deep in debt, explain the financial reality of your situation. Pretending to have more than you have will just create more unrealistic expectations. By exercising caution now, you can be generous later.
  .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Be very careful when handling hot materials or sharp tools. Nasty accidents have a way of occurring, so it's best to wear as much safety equipment as possible. Friends and family will laugh at these precautions, but you'll be glad you took pains to protect yourself in the end. Keep a close eye on children, who have a tendency to put themselves in the path of danger now. Lots of supervised playtime will create a pleasant spirit of harmony. Youngsters love it when you lavish them with attention.
  .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) It's hard to get any rest when you have so much on your mind. Try adopting some relaxation techniques at bedtime. Turn the computer off an hour before going to bed. Listen to soothing music. Wear earplugs and an eye mask if you need to. By creating a restful sleep environment, you'll soon be able to escape the stress that has been compromising your health. Once you get some sleep, it will be much easier to deal with the problems that have been plaguing you.
  .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Peers are pressuring you to do something you don't want. Now is not the time to go against your conscience. It's better to take a moral stand, even at the risk of losing friends. In the end, people will remember you took the noble route. Of course, taking a stance can be a lonely business. Be kind to yourself during this difficult time. Pamper yourself with a spa treatment, shopping spree, or movie marathon. Sometimes it's best to shut the world out.
  .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) An oppressive authority figure is playing mind games with you. Stop defending your decisions all the time. The more indifferent you are to their criticisms, the less torment you will receive. It's hard for you to turn a deaf ear to complaints, since you're the type who likes finding solutions to problems. Does your boss want a row rather than resolution? Some people prefer stirring the pot than actually doing work. Remember this when you have to deal with them.
  .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Hidden enemies are trying to make trouble for you. Avoid legal entanglements like the plague. You're better off settling differences behind the scenes. The last thing you need is to make your private business public. If you're in a relationship, your lover's family will try your patience. It's time to establish some firm personal boundaries. Stop letting these interlopers run rampant over you. Don't think you must always be at their beck and call.
  .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Finances are a source of contention. You and a partner have very different attitudes towards money. The only way to reconcile this breach is to have a heart to heart conversation. Each of you will have to make concessions to each other. Establish a savings goal and schedule occasional indulgences. Maintaining separate bank accounts can ease the tension between you, too. Nobody likes to feel judged, especially when it comes to what they value.
  .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Your best friend or lover is pressuring you to pursue an unappealing career opportunity. What they fail to realise is that you have very different ambitions. You want work that inspires and enlightens you. Sitting behind a desk and doing the same thing day after day will dull your spirit. Keep your eyes open for a job that reflects your interests. Alternatively, you may decide to take a steady position that gives you plenty of time to write, paint, dance, or draw.
