Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Friday, April 12

Aries

Keep to your chosen path even if there are obstacles you had not anticipated. You are the one who should remain in the driving set. Dig deep to find your own strengths and this will keep you strong in your convictions. Keep telling yourself that you can do this.

Taurus

People are expecting and demanding too much from you. Your boss or a senior colleague is taking your hard working nature for granted. An older relative expects you to be there for them whenever they demand it. You need to let them know this situation can continue no longer.

Gemini

Running errands for a lonely relative makes a difference to their day. If you live alone and are feeling lonely, creating a support network of friends should be a priority. There are opportunities in your locality to get involved in community ventures. Ask a neighbour for advice.

Cancer

You would never splash out on crazily expensive items. A partner or relative will regret buying something the moment cash has changed hands. A few well-chosen words will quickly put a stop to anyone’s efforts to include you in their silly schemes and dreams.

Leo

Show masses of patience when you’re working with or if you have dealings with an older neighbour or colleague. You will need to find a satisfying outlet for an abundance of mental and physical energy. Don’t be surprised to feel frustrated with people who seem overly slow and cautious.

Virgo

Good organisation is necessary if you are to get results. When it comes to weighty affairs such as insurance, taxation and joint financial matters of any kind, people need to know you are dealing with these with care and efficiency. Take one slow step at a time.

Libra

Be cautious when negotiating contracts and making agreements with people you hardly know. You should understand the risks involved before committing yourself to anything of a long-term nature. Can you, for instance, trust some people to deliver on their promises?

Scorpio

Someone who has been reluctant to reveal information you needed will be more approachable now. You sense they are gradually thawing. Even so, don't rush them. Let them see you are willing to wait until they are ready to provide you with answers.

Sagittarius

If it feels like you are drowning in debt, spend a little time working out exactly what you owe. Talk to a money manager and ask for help in consolidating bills. Don’t feel embarrassed about approaching an expert. What’s important is that you start digging yourself out of the economic hole you have found yourself in.

Capricorn

You are at last facing up to things that have been hidden from your consciousness. You’ve been trying to feel good about a relationship, arrangement or situation when in reality it is causing you worry and anxiety. A situation needs to change and you’re ready to accept this now.

Aquarius

Initially you will think a job, task or assignment you have been asked to do is beyond your capabilities. This is something you have had no experience in before. When you come face to face with anything that’s complicated or difficult the main thing to remember is to remain calm, cool and collected.

Pisces

Accept a friend or relative’s general offer to do you a financial favour. Whether this is a loan to buy an item you need or it is to chip in your share for a group holiday until you can pay them later, they would be upset if you refused their offer.
