Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Monday, July 29

Aries

Your natural charm and powers of persuasion will move mountains. People are impressed by your ideas. Be certain to take advantage. There’s no need to put on an act if you need a favour. Ask directly and you will get what you are after far more quickly.

Taurus

Do what you feel is best for yourself and ignore what anyone else might suggest for you. Keep to your own methods and routines for this will bring the type of results you can be proud of. Friends and colleagues will respect your need to remain focused which means you should be able to make satisfactory progress.

Gemini

A surprise text message or online conversation will get you thinking more deeply about circumstances you have been taking for granted. Someone needs reassurance that you do take a joint agreement seriously. The promising and persuasion starts now. Something will remind you of when you first got together and

Cancer

A new boss does not come across as being very charismatic. It doesn’t look like they are winning the support of the workforce. You will be asked about reaction from your colleagues but other than sensing some disquiet among your team, people seem to be reserving their judgement.

Leo

New doors are opening up for you. As exciting as this sounds, some opportunities won’t have been foreseen. They will need some careful thought before you decide on your reaction. This could mean considerable change in the future. A cautious partner is rightly nervous. Talk to them. Their views do matter.

Virgo

Reaching a goal you have in mind may not be as difficult as you think. Just keep your strategies to yourself. Rather than revealing your objectives to possible competitors, keep quiet about them. This strategy means you will avoid unnecessary attention until you are ready to take action.

Libra

You may have accepted a situation without asking questions because it seemed to be the done-thing. You just never looked at it any other way. A ritual or tradition no longer fits in with what is expected or accepted. There are other views to take into account and this is a good time to think about them.

Scorpio

Even if you usually enjoy your job, you’re feeling impatient and restless. Travel would seem like the ideal remedy but delays and hold ups would only cause you more frustration. A senior colleague is hinting that they are leaving which means their position will soon come up for grabs.

Sagittarius

Your excitement for new opportunities will be infectious. Don’t be surprised if you get an invitation to go on a fun journey or glamorous business trip. This is your chance to explore new places without breaking the bank. Even if the trip does turn out to be a bit rugged or curiously disorganised, this will only add to the adventure.

Capricorn

Home and property issues will require your immediate attention. If you are selling your home and your property has been on the market for a while, an unexpected offer is worth considering. Alternatively, if you’re in search of your own place, you could find the home you have been looking for.

Aquarius

Joining forces with a creative friend or colleague will be exciting. While you excel in the technical side of things, you might feel lost when it comes to promoting your work. Put your trust in a glamorous person who can bring a touch of excitement to your joint endeavours.

Pisces

Two main areas are highlighted and these are: work and romance. Your creative ideas will bring benefits to your work. Colleagues are supportive and the atmosphere harmonious. This sense of relaxation will set the perfect mood for a romantic evening ahead.
