Horoscopes today – Russell Grant’s star sign forecast for October 21

Aries

Don’t be in such a rush. Be sure you understand what’s expected of you before moving forward with any task or project. Don’t hesitate to ask for clarification even if this annoys others. It’s important to have all the information you need if you are to feel at ease. Keep evening plans calm and relaxing.

Taurus

It might seem beneficial to take on some additional responsibilities within a group or partnership. At the same time you are under no illusion: it’s going to be quite a challenge. Some uncertainty will arise when you’re working with people you don’t know and you aren’t clear about their expectations.

Gemini

A mix-up in communication as the day begins could lead you on a pointless mission. Someone will ask for you to do them a favour then it will turn out they do not need you after all. You’re starting to get annoyed with a friend who keeps wasting your time like this.

Cancer

Be ready for someone to cancel plans or suddenly go back on a commitment you believed was solid. It will disappoint you when a friend or co-worker doesn’t show the same level of responsibility as you do but it’s better to realise this sooner rather than later.

Leo

Conditions aren’t ideal for you to be working in a partnership. Stay calm and collected even if your patience is running low. Avoid confrontations and try to keep your emotions in check. The last thing you want or can be bothered with, is a massive argument.

Virgo

Give praise where and when it is deserved. Do your loved ones realise how much you value them? A close friend or relative is feeling low and they would appreciate your calm company. Taking some time to be with them would mean a lot even if they can’t put their feelings into words.

Libra

Financial disagreements within the family can be upsetting especially when emotions are running high. You never like it when there is tension in the air. Handle shared money matters with care. If you can’t find a solution today, you can always try again tomorrow.

Scorpio

Running errands will take you out of your usual area. At first this will irritate you but it could turn into a delightful surprise when a great opportunity comes your way simply because you find yourself in an unexpected situation or location.

Sagittarius

You can’t make things happen any faster even though you will try. All you can do is be patient and be prepared to wait your turn. A colleague will be giving you their reflections on recent events. You will have to admit that someone’s achievements are truly inspirational.

Capricorn

Don’t let small obstacles in communication hold you back from doing what you want to do or from pursuing new ideas. If someone is being awkward, be patient. Remember, charm and persuasion is more likely to work in your favour. Getting irritable will make other people nervous.

Aquarius

Be willing to openly discuss both shared financial matters and domestic finances. Listen to other people’s ideas and consider their suggestions but steer clear of a risky investment scheme. Even when things go wrong in the workplace, keep a positive attitude.

Pisces

If plans with a friend include a trip, make sure you’re clear on your destination and what you will be doing once you arrive. While small hiccups are likely to happen along the way, the best approach would be to see the humour in today’s little mix-ups. After all, laughter, don’t they say, is the best medicine.
