Your Stars for the week with Russell Grant

Taking responsibility for your long term fiscal future is vital. This is especially true if you’ve been recently married or divorced. Meet with a money manager to find ways for paying off debts, creating an investment portfolio, or starting a retirement fund. Friends in high places can help you with educational, religious, and cultural institutions. Don’t hesitate to ask for assistance if you’re awash in a sea of red tape.

Getting married or entering into a professional partnership could be in the stars. The next two years place heavy emphasis on teamwork. Going your own way may no longer be an option for you. If you’re already in a relationship, you may have to assume a greater amount of responsibility than you have in the past. Perhaps your partner will be away on business, or busy coping with an elderly reason. Whatever the reason, be prepared to shoulder more work.

At long last, heavy responsibilities involving a child or a lover are starting to ease. You’re now faced with the new challenge of creating a steady work routine. This will be less difficult than you think. Now you’re free to pursue your favourite activities, you’ll be motivated to do get things done as quickly and efficiently as possible. If you’re not careful you could blurt out a secret during a heated confrontation with a relative or neighbour. Do your best to cover your tracks.

For the past two years, you’ve been preoccupied with household matters. It may not have been possible to leave home for long periods of time, probably because you were taking care of an elderly relative or needy child. That trend is about to end this week, giving you more time to get out and explore the world. Take this opportunity to take a nice trip somewhere, or buy yourself something beautiful for your home as a reward for all of your hard work.

A serious programme of study is coming to a close, giving you more opportunity to get the sort of work you enjoy. Now it’s time to turn your attention to family matters. Coming to terms with limitations that were imposed by a relative is essential to your personal growth. It’s time to throw off these labels and create a life that resonates with your inner spirit. If this means cutting off contact with cynics and critics, so be it. This is a time of challenging but empowering transformations.

Finally, you’re starting to earn more money for your talent. This helps you to study a subject that has always fascinated you. Don’t worry if you had trouble buckling down at school. Now that you’re older and get to pick the classes that interest you it will be much easier to succeed. Changes to your workplace that were put on hold could move forward once again. Be ready for your job description to undergo some interesting transformations.

Your happy go lucky nature is starting to return after a long period of absence. Friends and family will feel as though the Sun has finally broken through the clouds. This is a great time to hold a party, just as a way means to reassert your star power. Take care you don’t spend lots of money on the festivities as the next two years will challenge you to tighten your financial belt. Learning to get value for money must be your primary focus.

This week marks an important phase in your personal development. Although you’ve always prided yourself on being of service to others, it’s time to become more self reliant. Instead of trying to fill the gaps in other people’s lives, you’ll be expected to perform these duties for yourself. Learning the fine art of home repair, car maintenance or starting your own business are all good options. This phase will last about two years, and will be both challenging and rewarding.

Dealing with bureaucracies like government agencies and universities or working with large organisations can advance your business and financial goals. Applying for grants or assistance is probably the best way to get your agenda met. If you’re confused by paperwork, get into the habit of asking questions and making contacts. The more thoroughly you fill out the forms, the easier it will be to cut through all the red tape.

Take care about the company you keep over the next two years. Associating with shady characters will ultimately backfire whilst affiliating yourself with respected experts will prompt people to treat you with respect. You may find yourself strongly attracted to older people who have lots of practical experience in your desired industry. A stalled financial matter could move forward again this week. Perhaps you’ll get that long awaited raise.

The next two years will bring a divine opportunity to climb the ladder of success. Even though gaining prominence has never held much weight with you, it will let you do the sort of work you’ve always wanted to do. If you play your cards right, you’ll be able to start your own business or preside over a big organisation. The prospect of all of these exciting opportunities will help you project ideas with persuasive force. Talk about a banner week!

If you’ve ever wanted to go back to school or go on an extended trip, the next two years are ideal for doing just that. It’s possible you’ve emerged from a mountain of debt, allowing you to spend money on things that have deep personal meaning for you. Publishing a book could also be in the cards. Don’t let subconscious fears get in the way of taking a personal risk. It’s time to step out of your comfort zone and into the unknown.
