Weekly Russell Grant horoscope for Saturday February 26

Aries

After a reasonably quiet start to the week, friends are likely to take up a lot of your time during the latter half. A group project cannot move forward without a determined effort. Because this means a lot to you, it won't be a problem to make some time to help out. You might be looking for an unusual way to mark a special celebration. A creative friend will help solve your dilemma. Quiet pleasures and pastimes will suit you best in the weekend.

Taurus

You've never liked contention. A workplace disagreement will upset you more than you will show. Although you have your own opinions, by taking a neutral stance, you will be able to walk away and leave others to their own arguments. Being a little choosy will pay off handsomely. If there is an item you need to buy, don't go for the first one on offer. It is quality over quantity you will be looking for now.

Gemini

Stay calm and patient in an emotionally charged situation. Although you feel you should get involved, watching from the sidelines will help you work out who and what is causing the problem. When you could do with some help, you might be surprised by the reaction. Events occurring now will make you more aware of who your true friends are and who, among your acquaintances are using your friendship in some way. A good time to revise group projects.

Cancer

People you work with or study with will be more willing to talk to you openly in a private setting. You could learn a lot about their views, plans and dreams and these are things they would never have discussed in a crowded setting. After a relaxed start to the week the reason you will be feeling a little irritable later is because you are out of sorts and you don't want to admit it. Don't feel guilty about taking a day off to recharge your batteries.

Leo

An important document will go missing causing a few stressful moments but it will turn up in safe hands. Trust your own judgement. You have masses of common sense when it comes to dealing with work and money matters. Unlike some people in your world who are making some bad decisions. Hold on to your beliefs even in the face of total opposition. Look after your health. A little light exercise and a few early nights will do you the world of good.

Virgo

You're growing impatient with workmates and housemates who seem unable to carry out their obligations. Does someone need help with certain chores? Are you being too harsh in your dealings with others? It might make a difference to relationships if you make yourself aware of other people's finer feelings. Showcase your recent achievements. If you've been hiding your light under a bushel recently, your friends and co-workers will be left in no doubt of your abilities.

Libra

An offer that sounds too good to be true probably will be. It would be great to think this is an excellent opportunity to make some money or improve your life in some way but it is more likely that someone is thinking of their own interests. To safeguard your own interests, therefore, stick with what you know and are familiar with. Leave it to others to make the most of the apparently great opportunities for they won't be half as profitable as they might appear.

Scorpio

What you say and who you say it to could have big consequences. It will make sense for you to think carefully about what comments you make, where, when and who to. Someone will cause an argument simply by throwing a careless comment into a conversation. You will be more aware of the need to watch your tongue. A friend is planning to travel soon and they may invite you to join them. If you are keen, say yes.

Sagittarius

Family and domestic affairs come under the spotlight. You will be putting some deep thought and consideration into home-related concerns. You're waiting to know the consequences of a recent decision and Wednesday will bring the moment of truth. A workmate will pull you up about an issue that has caused contention in the past. You will be puzzled about what this has to do with you. If you feel you are being wrongly accused of something, be certain the truth is brought out into the open.

Capricorn

Just like your charm and charisma, your energy levels are in overdrive. It isn't often that other people see this more outgoing side of your personality. Not only this, but you will enjoy any opportunity to put your imagination to creative use. This will surprise some who hadn't realised the extent of your abilities. What you are proving is that as well as being practical you can be incredibly imaginative too. There may be a chance to make money out of a hobby.

Aquarius

Think before you speak. It will be too easy to say something that is taken the wrong way. Equally hold back before reacting as you could be the one who takes offence where none is intended. A few hurdles will cause some annoyance every now and again but these will be easily overcome. If the going gets too tough, don't be reluctant to ask for help as there are a number of helpful sources that could support you along the way.

Pisces

Rather than taking part in a group event with everyone shouting their ideas at once and little if anything being accomplished, you will prefer to work with a small team of people. This will be more fun too when you can give those you haven't had a lot of time for lately, your undivided attention. You're wondering whether to trust an intuitive feeling or do you disregard it as rubbish? Something in your subconscious may have picked up on something you hadn't consciously noticed.
