Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Friday, July 5

Aries

Take a moment to pause and think about aspects of your life that bring you a sense of security as well as those areas that could do with some improvement. Think about the little actions you can take to bring about positive change where it is needed. Start by building a strong foundation and nurturing the seeds of security.

Taurus

Avoid people who tend to stir up trouble or who are notorious for causing drama. Your emotions may be all over the place. If you're upset with a friend's actions, hold back from making any remarks. You might have a change of heart tomorrow once you learn the reason behind their unexpected outburst.

Gemini

Your innovative ideas will have a lasting impact on those around you. With a little help from a senior colleague you have a chance to advance in your career. It might be worth thinking about switching to a different role or workplace. Exploring new career opportunities could also boost your earning potential.

Cancer

It might feel as if some relationships are being tested. The atmosphere at work is tense due to some strong opposition to new protocols. It might be wise to step back from these tasks. Your home is a peaceful sanctuary away from the pressures of work. At least your family is supportive.

Leo

Being able to passionately promote your ideas will help you reach your goals. Don't hesitate to share your dreams with those who can help you make them a reality. Your diplomatic skills will draw positive attention and your creative ideas will lead you to success.

Virgo

Your willingness to help others to help themselves establishes you as a respected member of both the local community and the global society. People are impressed by the way you contribute beyond what is expected of you in community projects. Your compassionate nature enhances your reputation in a way that will come as a pleasant surprise.

Libra

You prefer harmony to discord. Often you will overlook minor issues such as subtle insults and attacks on your character in order to keep the peace. Someone is going out of their way to damage your reputation. You need to assert yourself more and stand up for yourself. If you fail to do so, some people will assume you lack boundaries.

Scorpio

Marital interests or another partnership may be facing some difficulties. By listening to the concerns of others regarding an important issue, you will see that they have thought it through. There is some uncertainty surrounding a new joint arrangement. Work towards resolving issues that are coming between you.

Sagittarius

A pleasing communication at the start of the day will set a positive tone but acting impulsively later could lead to a regrettable outcome. If you’re unhappy at work, it would be better to find another job before resigning. A compromise within the household is essential for maintaining harmony.

Capricorn

Love is in the air. Imagine how magical it would be to express your feelings in a beautiful location. If you haven't made plans yet, think about booking a holiday to a glamorous destination. Start planning a trip and get ready to create unforgettable memories together.

Aquarius

Help your partner or a close friend feel more relaxed and less anxious by showing them they can rely on you. Take the initiative to discover ways to ease their load. Instead of acting on impulse, being methodical and structured is key. Planning ahead will also enhance your artistic endeavours.

Pisces

Having everything organised allows you to fully understand what lies ahead. Discussions will present various opportunities for you to consider. Keep in mind that these options have existed all along and will continue to exist, regardless of whether or not you were previously aware of them.
