Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Monday, April 22

Aries

You have strong views and feelings about organising your finances and you won’t be letting anyone talk you out of anything you have decided on. It might suddenly seem like a good idea to make changes in the household budget or a joint financial arrangement.

Taurus

Sign up as soon as possible if you are thinking about taking a class or attending a workshop. If you have always wanted to develop an artistic talent, master a musical instrument or learn a craft, act on this idea now while you are feeling motivated.

Gemini

You are worrying too much over the things you cannot control. There are some aspects of your life that rely on other people’s decisions. Since all you can do is wait to hear from them there are plenty other things you can get on with.

Cancer

Some dilemmas you are dealing with have gone on for a long time. The roots go back into the past and they have not been addressed or resolved. Things can go a peaceful way or just one small incident could cause a chaotic situation. You just wish it was all over with.

Leo

It takes courage for someone to approach you for help or advice. Initially it might look as if they have created problems for themselves but the situation will not be of their making. Their innocence will be apparent the moment you hear their story.

Virgo

You always need to be prepared. This is how you work and feel most comfortable. You will be taking on a leading role in a group project. There are a series of concerns that could potentially create problems unless these are addressed immediately.

Libra

On paper plans look okay. Once you start working on these it will turn out they are too expensive or complicated to complete. Questions and comments will need a response even if there are some topics you would prefer not to talk about.

Scorpio

Make it your intention to make a clean sweep of anything in your life that is too much trouble for its worth. End projects and associations that no longer serve any useful purpose. Pull out of commitments that make you unhappy. Take a sensible approach to work and health.

Sagittarius

Bend the truth a little and you could influence someone in a way that would steer them away from a situation you feel is bad for them. The trouble is, it would go against your conscience to do this. You have to be honest and tell them the facts. Then they can make up their own mind.

Capricorn

A long awaited report will make some useful recommendations. Some suggestions people are making will contradict previous agreements. Even so, they will make a lot of sense. If anything is not working, new solutions need to be found.

Aquarius

You’ve been doing a lot for friends and neighbours. Your family looks to you to solve their problems. If you keep denying your own needs and feelings you will become resentful and unhappy. You aren’t being selfish by putting your own wishes high up on your list of priorities.

Pisces

Last minute nerves could cause you to want to back out of an appointment, test or meeting that has already been arranged. If you do you will be letting people down and this will undermine your reputation. When anxiety starts to build, take a few deep breaths and direct your thoughts elsewhere.
