What do the stars hold for you this Thursday? Russell Grant reveals all...

Aries (Mar21/Apr20): Normally when you are lonely, you would previously have entertained friends in your home. You feel robbed of pleasures such as opening your door to let people in to share. In a practical sense, you will put something together in a virtual place that will help people feel more connected and less isolated.

Taurus (Apr21/May21): It might feel as if your life is in turmoil. Changes in your career make you worried about the future. Who could have imagined at the start of the year this virus would have such an impact? You feel you have no option than to take a path you would not normally have chosen. Stay positive and it will be easier to adapt to change.

Gemini (May22/June21): Disappointing news will come as a shock. Practical arrangements need to be put in place in the workplace around social distancing and health considerations. You wonder why some provisions hadn’t been instigated earlier. Wear safety equipment when working with sharp tools. The sooner you come to terms with new routines, the easier it will be.

Cancer (June22/July23): There will be long-term benefits from taking up an online course or workshop. If you’ve been travelling abroad and have to isolate for two weeks, devote some time to a challenging course of study. An authority figure does not want to listen to the truth. Keeping a journal can be a safe place to air any frustrations.

Leo (July24/Aug23): Even though it isn’t easy, on a good day you feel you are doing the right thing. Other times you question what is going on and whether it is the best way to handle a difficult situation. New measures are being put into place in the workplace to ensure everyone is complying with health and safety rules.

Virgo (Aug24/Sept23): You have learned more about your partner and other loved ones through the experiences you have recently shared together. There’s no better way to build bonds than to get personally involved in other people’s hobbies, interests and activities. You might never have expected to get so deeply involved in a youngster’s education.

Libra (Sept24/Oct23): You’re doing all you can to make a shared environment as safe as possible. It may be necessary to ask for more time to get everything in place. You might be given the option to take part in a new scheme or project. Ask for more time to think about it if you have any doubts about the practicalities.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22): The more positive your approach to work assignments, the easier it will be to get them over with. Are you in business for yourself? A stronger online presence can help your business to survive through difficult times. You’re becoming more aware of people who are struggling who you hadn’t imagined would find this situation a challenge.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21): If you’re feeling the pinch, ask your creditors to give you more time and space to help you take control of your finances. It’s important not to ignore the problem but to speak to your bank or building society and put new arrangements in place. You may need to help an ailing relative to get food delivered to their home.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20): You’re ready to take a look at your relationships to decide which ones should be given more priority. This is because you’re aware of all the time and attention a needy friend has been demanding from you. It has meant a lot for you to be able to help them but they are able now to fend for themselves. You have done all you can.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19): It’s not easy to hear that your presence isn’t required. A group project cannot continue without some changes. It may be necessary to reduce the team to a minimum to meet new safety requirements. Try to give a partner or a close relative the time they are asking for from you. They just need some space, that’s all.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20): Someone is finding any excuse to text you or meet up with you on a social networking site. You’re starting to feel it is time to avoid them. Are you in a relationship? People expect to meet up regularly online but you also have to seriously consider your responsibilities to your partner. Get your priorities right.
