Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Thursday, July 25

Aries

Your personal standards are of the highest but are you expecting a little too much from others? Try not to be too critical when judging the end product of a task a colleague completes. Take a step back and don’t be too hard on someone who is obviously struggling.

Taurus

You will be tasked with taking on a workmate’s responsibilities. Stay calm. That initial feeling of panic will fade away once you realise that all you need is a systematic approach and a good dose of common sense. Since you have plenty of both, you are likely to cope really well.

Gemini

Taking part in a study course or workplace training program can boost your chances of advancing in your career. If you’re eager to pursue further training but unsure about what to do next, have a word with your boss or a senior colleague. They will help you explore the different options that are open to you.

Cancer

Proving to your colleagues and friends that you can be adaptable when you need to be is key to overcoming challenges in your way. Someone will disagree with your ideas. You won’t let their negative attitude affect you for your determination to succeed will make it easy for you to push through difficult situations.

Leo

Now is a good time to share your thoughts on domestic finances. Don’t hesitate to express all those plans and ideas you’ve been keeping to yourself. Your partner and housemates are taking your suggestions seriously and they will cooperate. Make the most of this.

Virgo

Make sure important career matters are dealt with promptly. An unexpected opportunity will arise and you will sense the need to act quickly before a rival grabs this. If you’re made an attractive offer, accept it right away. A boost to your income gives you something to celebrate. Open a savings account and start building a nest egg.

Libra

If you have been trying to impress your boss with your skills or knowledge, you are about to get a chance to prove what you are capable of. This morning will bring an unexpected offer or request that will be both challenging and inspiring. A colleague’s positive encouragement will keep your spirits high.

Scorpio

Think about your health and how the demands of a group you are involved in are starting to drain you. There are some people who are demanding too much from you. Take the advice of a friend who really cares about your well-being. A workmate is trying to avoid doing what they should be doing out of sheer laziness.

Sagittarius

Life is busy, demanding and incredibly exciting. You’re meeting new people, discovering new pastimes and there’s a sense of progress in the working environment. Joint activities will bring you a lot of pleasure and if you’re closely linked to another, you will find it extra easy to understand your partner.

Capricorn

Your determination to succeed can sometimes push you into disregarding what is accepted as normal. This looks like being one of those times. Friends will be wide-eyed with wonder when you refuse to conform and your willingness to experiment will bring new opportunities your way.

Aquarius

With masses of harmony and happiness felt within the family, life at home should be great. When it comes to sharing time with those you care about and who care about you in return, you couldn’t be happier. Youngsters will bring a special touch of warmth to your world.

Pisces

Sharing your thoughts and feelings is important for your emotional well-being. Talking things over with someone who cares can make a big difference to your current state of mind. What will surprise you most is the understanding and support you suddenly receive from a partner or housemate. They really do care.
