Your Stars for the week with Russell Grant

Hiding your feelings won’t fool your nearest and dearest.
They’ll know something is wrong, just from the look on your face.

Although emotional displays aren’t your style, it is important to express your emotions. Confide in a relative who has never betrayed your confidence. Think twice before buying an expensive status symbol. The gesture might backfire with people who think you should take more care with cash. The next six weeks may involve lots of domestic chores.

Blurting out secrets could get you in trouble with a neighbour or relative. Make discretion your watchword this week. Think twice before telling off an oppressive authority figure. You’ll need this person’s help if you’re going to advance in your career. It may be necessary to spend money to make money between now and late June. Traffic or communication problems could force you to cancel a short trip. Take this disappointment in your stride. It may be better to go later in the year.

Someone could try to fool you over a financial matter. Check and double check this person’s credentials before handing over any money and avoid lending or borrowing. Trying to force your values onto others could result in secret enemies. These people may pretend to adhere to your beliefs, but they’ll actually rebel against them when given half a chance. You’re better off promoting an atmosphere of tolerance. Your physical stamina will pick up by mid-week, much to your relief.

Just because you hold a prominent position doesn’t mean you don’t have to work hard. Be sure to fulfil all of your duties, and be ready to take responsibility if something goes wrong. Friends may not approve of a love affair, which creates emotional turmoil to you. Don’t be so quick to discount these suspicions. You may have to operate behind the scenes if you’re going to get around a stubborn bureaucrat. A chance to reinvent yourself could change the public’s perception of you.

A desire for change could be a way to avoid some unpleasant truths. Instead of running away from your situation, face it head on. It’s possible that you’ll have to throw some lifelong assumptions right out of the window. Try not to be too aggressive with a business partner or lover or you could find yourself going solo. Getting involved with a team effort will be a good use of your talent. Be prepared to keep a low profile between now and late June.

You won’t be able to escape practical responsibility, especially as far as a large group of people are concerned. If you fail to attend your responsibilities, you’ll be letting down a great many friends. Put aside your selfish desires for the sake of something bigger. You must cooperate with your colleagues if you’re going to turn in an impressive performance at work and forget your personal differences for the sake of the job. Being part of the team will boost your professional prospects.

Honour your promises to a business or romantic partner, or trouble will ensue. It may be necessary to put off work related matters for the sake of this relationship. It’s hard not to feel jealous of someone who has captured a friend’s heart. The only way you can get back into your lover’s good graces is to become less possessive. The chance to broaden your horizons through study or travel could arise between now and late June.

A job may look easy, but it actually requires practice and dedication so be prepared to learn from an expert who can show you the ropes. A close friend’s insensitivity could drive a wedge between you. Don’t keep your feelings a secret from this person, or the resentment will spoil other aspects of your life. Your sex appeal will be red hot over the next six weeks. Be prepared to play the aggressor with an elusive love interest. You may have to postpone travel plans.

Overlooking a child or lover’s shortcomings will only make matters worse. You’ve got to make this person accountable for their actions. Stress could be creating health problems for you. Avoid toxic environments like the plague. Finding another job or residence may be the only way to preserve your well being. A business partner or lover may try to steamroll over your plans. Stand in your own defence. Protect your interests by opening a savings account.

Ignoring a lover’s bad behaviour will jeopardise your partnership. Don’t defend their angry outbursts or abusive actions. The sooner this person gets professional help, the faster you can repair your bond. It’s a bad idea to combine romance with finance this week. Keep your accounts strictly separate. If you’re single, you may want to avoid a dark, brooding character that exudes an air of danger. Channel your frustrations through a vigorous exercise programme.

Repressing your emotions could take a toll on your health. If you can’t talk to the person who is causing the problem, confess your feelings to a journal or diary. A reluctant relative won’t respond well to bullying. Make a strategic retreat from this man if you need his help. He’ll come around as soon as he thinks you no longer want his services. Sports can be a welcome outlet for frustration. Get a work offer in writing before you accept.

People may frustrate your creative efforts at every turn. Just because you can’t make money from this work doesn’t mean you should give it up. In time, you may be able to sell things and make money. It’s all a matter of finding the right market for your vision. A shouting match could shatter the peace of your private life. Keep quarrelsome neighbours and siblings at arm’s length. Launching a home improvement project would be a really good idea.
