Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Friday, April 19

Aries

You’re having to deal with tasks you haven’t been able to get to earlier this week. Once you get going, you will be determined to clear these out of the way and even the most boring chores don’t feel so tedious when you can see an end to this chapter.

Taurus

If all you want to do is spend more time with a close friend or the one you love, don’t fight this mood. Give in to this need to enjoy a certain person’s company. If there are responsibilities you cannot ignore, at least plan it so this evening you can spend a few hours together.

Gemini

It can feel at times as if you are wading through fog. You aren’t sure where you are going or how some situations are going to turn out. Even if you are doing things you love to do, there are so many questions on your mind that you aren’t really enjoying it.

Cancer

Circumstances recently found you questioning yourself, your feelings, your relationships and your life. You’re ready now to accept and get on with it. Don’t be afraid to ask when you need help, advice or some practical assistance. Sharing your feelings helps build bonds of friendship.

Leo

New experiences will not only be offering you a chance to build on your relationships but also on your spiritual awareness. Recent events may have knocked you for six but you are discovering alternatives that will bring emotional healing.

Virgo

Keep pushing past the hurdles now in front of you. You really wanted to give some ideas a go but because of the difficulties you are having, it might seem as if you have lost your incentive. Keep going. You will find a way to get past what is keeping you stuck at this time.

Libra

A practical colleague will teach you some valuable skills and strategies for coping with a difficult assignment. When working with machinery and sharp tools, be certain to wear safety equipment. You don’t want to have to take a trip to your nearest emergency room out of carelessness.

Scorpio

A workmate or housemate is taking advantage of your hard working nature. They seem ignorant of your feelings and they need to know you aren’t happy. Put your foot down and make it clear you cannot keep doing the work of two people. Get them to agree to shoulder their share of responsibilities.

Sagittarius

Choose activities and pastimes that appeal to your imagination. Let your creativity flow. Whether you are a keen artist or you’re skilled at making a banquette out of a handful of ingredients you won’t fail to make a success of whatever you choose to do.

Capricorn

You will be kept busy but there is something highly satisfying in what you are doing. Presiding over a large social get-together will be highly stimulating. It will give you a lot of pleasure to take charge of a fundraiser. Support from many gifted people will be welcomed.

Aquarius

You won’t stop other people from offering advice if this is what they want to do. In areas where you have already made up your mind, you aren’t likely to change it. You will stick to doing exactly what you instinctively feel is right. This is what makes you stand out from the crowd.

Pisces

Someone who has been conspicuous by their absence is back in action even though they seem to be making heavy work of certain obligations. You will find tasks surprisingly straight-forward. It helps that you made an early start whereas they were slow to get going.
