Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Saturday, November 18

Aries

When was the last time you stopped to have some fun? Your mood is playful and although this may not be conducive to good business, you are entitled to take some time off every once in a while to relax. Stop trying to please others. Instead, indulge in some self-pampering.

Taurus

Even though it wasn’t meant to be a competition, you can sense some people in your life are getting competitive. You prefer not to compare your efforts with everyone else’s as this is not going to get you very far especially when you work at a far slower pace than others.

Gemini

You could win a contest or competition. Be sure to show your interest before the submission deadline. For a short while you may have to think about exercising more caution in spending than you have been doing lately. Take out those bills you have been stuffing into a drawer and review them.

Cancer

A project that has been full of problems and frustrations will take an interesting turn. Suddenly you reach the stage where everything starts to come together and when this happens it will be at a much faster rate than expected. You won’t have time to take it all in.

Leo

If a job is not going as well as you were hoping it would, consider teaming up with a talented friend and combine your skills and knowledge. Although there is a degree of competition in the air, working with rather than against others will feel more satisfying.

Virgo

A neighbour will try to involve you in a nearby domestic dispute even though you might feel this is none of your business. You will have the sense not to take sides and instead you will take a diplomatic approach. Your soothing words and quiet intervention will help calm things down.

Libra

You’re finding it hard to relax, sit still and calm down. Why don’t you plough some of that restless energy into a sports or exercise activity? There are also a few bits and pieces lying around that could also do with your attention.

Scorpio

An invitation to join someone on a holiday or long journey will take you by surprise. You would love to drop everything, pack your bags and leave but this will not be a good idea. It would be far more sensible to plan it all over the next few weeks when you can be more organised about it.

Sagittarius

You are doing your best to look on the bright side even though confidential matters are a source of concern. Your attempts to remain optimistic are not being helped by the fractious effects of some thoughtless communications. Some people just don’t think before they speak.

Capricorn

If you can see solutions to a complex problem then don’t hesitate to say what is on your mind. Your teammates will be grateful for your practical ideas and suggestions. Expect to see favourable consequences for group efforts and charitable work.

Aquarius

Things that are being talked about are going to happen so it will be easier to go with the flow. You don’t relish having to go through the disruption any kind of change initially brings but you have little choice about it. Take a deep breath and get on with it.

Pisces

Everyone has an opinion and they will want you to know it. You have a few issues on your mind. What you really need is a change of scenery. Some problems won’t be as serious as you thought once you have a chance to consider them without the interference of others.
