Weekly horoscope for February 13 - your star sign reading by Russell Grant

Aries

You wish someone would explain to you what is going on. Everything is up in the air and there seems to be no sense of organisation around you. Your apprehension will vanish once things get moving and you realise that there have been measures put in place to bring things together in a more focused way. A close relationship is changing. You sense where this is leading. It would be better to accept it rather than try to fight the inevitable.

Taurus

You can’t get over a recent disappointment. A relationship did not turn out as you had been expecting and you feel angry with yourself for allowing yourself to have been used. It might seem impossible to find the energy or enthusiasm for a job you are working on. Your boss or a senior colleague expects you to roll up your sleeves and get on with the work while you think you deserve a break.

Gemini

Your heart is not in a community or social event almost everyone seems to have been looking forward to. New regulations make for a slight dulling of the pleasure you could be getting out of this. Any routine jobs associated with your work will be done automatically while your thoughts wander elsewhere. Data or information received will suggest that recent changes in the workplace are making a difference. People will praise you for your contribution.

Cancer

Before taking on a challenge, think about what it may entail. You may not be certain you have the skills or experience to carry out this task. Since you won’t want any later regrets, a little more research will give you the confidence you currently lack. Someone close will let you in on a secret that will in some way prove useful for you within the next 10 to 15 days. A scrupulous approach to health and work matters will pay off.

Leo

Keep any good ideas you have to yourself. If you’re developing a business proposal add a password to your documents. Keep your plans under wraps. A workmate who isn’t as creative will be keen to hear your thoughts and will be equally as keen to steal the credit which should be yours. A job you agreed to take on will feel like you are running a gruelling marathon. The challenge goes on and on and you can’t wait to have this over.

Virgo

A work assignment isn’t making any progress and that’s because people aren’t talking. Take this chance to encourage everyone to meet and discuss possible solutions. Be sure to put your own ideas forward. You could be amazed how willing your colleagues are to fall in with your suggestions. New doors are opening up for you. Pause for a while to think about what you’re letting yourself in for. Don’t jump too quickly over the threshold.

Libra

An argument in the home will cause strain between you and a loved one. Someone’s reaction seems exaggerated and the tension between you will make you uncomfortable. You will hardly be able to remember what started all the trouble and you are really working hard to clear the air. An unexpected bonus or financial gift may make you a little careless about spending on everyday items. This isn’t a good time for speculation or taking any chances where money is concerned.

Scorpio

A housemate wants to take the lead. This isn’t a regular occurrence and you will be quite interested to see how they approach some aspects of your world differently when they are in control. It could be surprising how inventive some people can be and you might learn something new from watching how others approach routine tasks. A money matter needs more careful thought. You do not want to commit to a long-term expense if you feel you can’t afford it.

Sagittarius

It won’t do you any harm to let a friend persuade you into joining them in a little trip out somewhere. You may have had other plans but give such a suggestion a try and you could discover a whole new area of enjoyment for the future. Your upbeat attitude will rub off on those around you both at work and at home. Whatever your aims and intentions, you will receive the support you need whenever you need it.

Capricorn

You’re overly sensitive and emotionally brittle. You have a sinking feeling something is going to go wrong but you could be wrong. Often when you are feeling low everything seems worse than what it is. If you need help, ask for it. Your family and friends will feel good that they are able to do something for you that you will find useful. You’ve done a lot for them recently and this is their way to repay you. Uplifting news received on Thursday will release some of your tension.

Aquarius

Before making a start on a new project, there are things you need to sort out with a friend or someone who is close to you. Either they will volunteer to complete a job you had begun together or they will expect you to get on with it and get it over with. A strange situation you encounter on Friday will make you pause and wonder whether you should get involved. Whatever occurs, trust your intuition.

Pisces

A community effort has plenty of support but no real sense of direction. It might be time to suggest people get together to decide on a way forward. Don’t be surprised if you are asked to take on a leading role. Everyone has been waiting for this chance to get organised and they’ll be grateful for your efforts to bring them together to make for an effective team. If suddenly towards the end of the week you seem to have no energy, cancel plans and relax make some time for relaxation.
