Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Saturday, October 12

Aries

Despite what someone else is suggesting, it is possible to balance your obligations to others and your own aspirations without any difficulty. You can adjust your schedule to accommodate both while ensuring no one, including yourself, loses out.

Taurus

Balancing work and social life can be difficult but it is necessary if you are to prioritise your responsibilities. Don't feel guilty about putting practical concerns ahead of social ones. It is always comforting for you to know you’re on top of everyday matters.

Gemini

You’re looking for something new and worthwhile to do. Volunteering will be a great way to showcase your skills and talents. Take this chance to let people see what you are capable of. Your ideas will impress someone in a high position.

Cancer

By combining humour and practical advice you can help other people to make wise choices. Even so, life is not all about responsibilities. Fun parties and social get-togethers will be a great way for you to relax. Are you single? You will find a new romantic interest at a fancy social gathering.

Leo

You have the support from those in high places and this allows you to make greater progress than usual. Even so, it is not the time to become too comfortable. By continuing to make a good impression on a person of influence, you might finally secure the position you have been hoping for.

Virgo

Prepare to be impressed by how a stranger handles a difficult situation. Their actions and methods spark your interest and you're curious to learn more. Even though a past relationship didn't succeed, it brought you in contact with some interesting people and exposed you to fresh experiences.

Libra

An exciting idea injects new life into your days. All of a sudden it feels like everything has been completely transformed. Some people may feel a little uneasy about your enthusiasm. Let them know they can rely on you for your affection, encouragement and faithfulness.

Scorpio

Although you want to think the best of everyone, stay alert for opportunities. Someone could conveniently forget to pass on some important information. Don’t be afraid to say No when it’s appropriate. If you’re feeling guilty about a recent stroke of good fortune, consider donating to a cause that might benefit from your support.

Sagittarius

Others expect you to continue with the same old routines. Perhaps it’s time for a change. People are willing to listen to your ideas and the suggestions you put forward will be received with enthusiasm. This is your chance to stir things up a bit.

Capricorn

Whether you realise it or not, your approval means a lot to your family and friends. You’ve been holding back from offering support when it is becoming obvious someone could really do with your help. Try to be a bit more encouraging. It won’t hurt to show some warmth.

Aquarius

A relative is worried about how much you are sacrificing for other people. It isn’t right that you are trying to change yourself to fit a new friend or partner’s expectations. You can never be happy if you always put your own needs aside. It is time to build relationships based on mutual respect.

Pisces

Family bonds are strengthened. A consensus will be reached over some plans for the future. Now you need to plan your approach and consider how to stay within the financial constraints being placed on you. You don’t want to rush in and create chaos before you’ve even started.
