Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Friday, April 7

Aries

A job vacancy will get your interest and you might decide it's time to renew contact with someone whose influence in high places could be of help. If they aren’t available, don't be reluctant to sing your own praises. Do what you have to do to further your career.

Taurus

This could be a strange kind of day when you might end up doing something very different to what had first been planned. Your imagination seems to know no bounds when you throw yourself into a creative project with enthusiasm.

Gemini

You’re intensely aware of the difficulties a partner or close friend is going through. You can understand why they’re being abrupt with you but you have feelings too and it can be so incredibly hurtful to be spoken to so scathingly. Do you really deserve this?

Cancer

It may be necessary to put your career or other goals on hold in order to cope with a family situation. Reducing working hours will be an inconvenience but if your boss wants to keep you, this may be the only solution. Trust that it will all work out well in due course.

Leo

A friend will want advice about a relationship problem. You happen to be good friends with their partner and for that reason you will not say a thing. Someone in the family is making a problem out to be a lot worse than it actually is. Leave it to them to deal with it.

Virgo

Your boss or someone in power will ask you to take on more responsibility. They are leaning on you too heavily and you need to learn to tell them “no”. You will be expected to answer questions about a recent incident but to reveal too much would be to betray someone’s trust.

Libra

The future isn’t here yet so stop worrying about it. Free will is at play because no matter how you feel, you can make choices and decisions. Reflect on your past hard work to remind yourself of how much you have accomplished so far.

Scorpio

A figurehead of a group will step back or retire. You can still take this forward. Let all that they have helped establish be your inspiration to achieve even more. Efforts so far are to be applauded. There is still plenty left to do.

Sagittarius

Something you hear that was not meant for your ears will speak the truth of someone’s opinions for you. Their views may be inaccurate or flawed and the only way you will be able to get them to see this is by bringing up a touchy topic. For your own peace of mind you need to set the record straight.

Capricorn

Someone’s comments will suggest something secret has been going on. No one else will seem to pick up on this and you won’t want to draw attention to it. Even so, when you are able, you will instigate a quiet conversation to find out more.

Aquarius

Others may complain about it but you will actually enjoy running errands and delivering messages for anyone who needs it. You may be volunteering for the kind of jobs others do their best to avoid but this gives you an excuse to circulate among workmates and catch up with friends.

Pisces

Some situations or relationships will seem confusing and you are wondering if you have missed something. Some quiet thoughts will help clear your mind. You have been feeling recently as if a friend or workmate has been strangely secretive. You are about to find out why.
