Horoscopes today – Russell Grant’s star sign forecast for July 18

Aries

It will be while you’re getting on with everyday chores that a brilliant idea will strike you. Don’t dismiss this as being wishful thinking. Take a moment instead to capture your thoughts either on your phone or on a scrap of paper. You don’t want to let this opportunity go to waste.

Taurus

Recent developments require a more thorough examination. You’re trying to assess the role you may have played in an event and the impact your actions had on the result. Online conversations will promote self-reflection and a deeper connection with your spiritual self. Agreeing to new travel arrangements will prove greatly fulfilling.

Gemini

A money matter will cause confusion when an unexpected bill takes you by surprise. Instead of getting stressed about it, listen to a loved one’s advice to calm down and take a few deep breaths. Remember there are other more important things in life than money. You will find a way to resolve this debt.

Cancer

Be honest when talking to a senior colleague about your career aspirations. If you aren’t happy with your current job, discuss other possibilities. You may have been thinking about a change in career paths in which case you will soon be presented with a great opportunity to make the switch.

Leo

You might be telling yourself that you are happy but if you are single and longing for love and affection, it’s important to be more confident and assertive in your romantic and social interactions. Consider volunteering to meet more people. Helping your community will boost your self-esteem.

Virgo

A venue is putting on an exciting series of events some of which you will be experiencing for the first time. The atmosphere in a public setting will be electric and the crowd reaction exhilarating. Although this entertainment venue has had a turbulent few weeks, this will not have impacted its reputation.

Libra

An unexpected sum of cash, insurance pay-out or inheritance will mark a new chapter in your life. Buy yourself something you have always dreamed of owning. Take this rare chance to enjoy the excitement of shopping for new clothes, furniture or artwork without worrying about the cost.

Scorpio

There’s no better feeling than knowing your partner is committed to your shared goals. It may have taken some persuading to get them to agree to your next suggestion. Now there is so much to be happy about because they are willing to support you every step of the way.

Sagittarius

Experimenting with a new diet or workout routine will lead to positive results. You will be pleasantly surprised at your improved energy levels through living a healthier lifestyle. The more energised you feel, the easier it will be to prioritise your goals.

Capricorn

You’re prepared for whatever comes your way. An offer or opportunity you are half expecting to receive today could bring about a significant change. Lately it seemed like things were beyond your control with other people calling the shots. Now you’re ready to steer your life in a direction of your choosing.

Aquarius

Stay true to yourself and don’t just go along with the crowd. Your thoughts and ideas matter. No one should be allowed to sway you against your will even if they have a strong personality. Stand your ground and don’t let anyone push you beyond your limits.

Pisces

Recent events, challenges and all the extra responsibilities you have had to take on are starting to exhaust you. It doesn’t matter what other people say, take a break. You need to recharge and regain your strength if you are to keep on top of current obligations.
