Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Thursday, September 26

Aries

You’re determined to leave a mark in a competitive event after having to withdraw from similar ventures in the past for a few different reasons. Making preventative care a priority will empower you to feel more in control and less constrained by health issues.

Taurus

It doesn’t feel as if pressures are easing although you’re trying to look on the bright side and make things work. Increasing costs is another thing to have to think about. If you run your own business, recruitment may have to be put on hold along with investment in machinery

Gemini

Changes that are happening now will bring new responsibilities and the need for new routines. Not everyone in the family will be open to these changes but when they see what a difference it makes to you, they will adapt to new domestic patterns.

Cancer

You never quite know what you’re going to get and a task feels like a big failure. Put the baggage of this first defeat behind you. It’s easy to talk about what went wrong but you will want to show that you have learned from the mistake and next time you intend to get it right.

Leo

Although it is rare for you to reject assistance from others, you will start the day in a solitary mood. You’re reflecting on past experiences and this will lead you to believe that in some areas, you will achieve better results by sticking to your own devices.

Virgo

You’ve always been a perfectionist and that’s why the accuracy of information, messages or emails received will leave a lot to be desired. You can’t understand why people can be so careless and having to check what they are telling you could waste you a lot of time.

Libra

Someone keeps making excuses to leave the job you’re working on together. This makes you sceptical about their dedication. It has been a struggle recently to get results. The pendulum swings to the other end of the scales today. A success story is on the cards and this will come through news concerning your career.

Scorpio

You’re getting on with various tasks yet there’s nothing to show for your effort. The reason for this is that you’re stuck waiting for approval to start a project. Despite having allocated time for it, it seems like other people’s plans take precedence leaving you in the lurch.

Sagittarius

Some people do learn from their mistakes. If a friend asks for a chance to make amends for a previous mistake, your conscience will not let you turn your back on them. Give them the benefit of the doubt and you will both be pleased with a joint accomplishment.

Capricorn

Old ways are being pushed behind, making room for new beginnings. You will be asked to take on new responsibilities . But don’t worry; these challenges will be taking you in the right direction. Accept this fresh start and look on it as a chance to reinvent areas of your life in need of a boost.

Aquarius

Family life is important to you despite accusations to the contrary by a housemate. The daily routine at home has had its highs and lows. A noticeable shift now occurs in the workplace as you struggle to focus on any one particular project due to persistent obstacles in your plans.

Pisces

Someone is promising you the earth and you sense they will never be able to fulfil these obligations. You’re tempted to accept an exciting offer but is this wise? If you chase after the carrot being dangled in front of your nose you might as well be chasing after a rainbow.
