Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Wednesday, December 28

Aries

Choose words with care when confronting someone about a touchy topic. Communication problems will make it feel as if you are banging your head against a brick wall. Hide your impatience even if you feel you have every right to be annoyed with a stubborn relative.

Taurus

Anything to do with legal, financial and property dealings will seem laboriously slow. It might seem as if some people aren’t as serious as they should be when it comes to their professional responsibilities. In a group situation, be diplomatic as you put forward your suggestions and views.

Gemini 

It will not make it any easier to ignore problems in the hope that the longer you leave it, the easier it will be to cope with. This will not be true. What could make it easier is to ask for help and get the support of someone you can trust.

Cancer

It will be possible to resolve a difficult situation but only if you take the time to explain how you feel. It will be important to explain yourself more and to listen to the opinions of others. You cannot continue to do someone else’s work for them because they aren’t doing their job properly.

Leo

Someone who is close to you is inviting you to reveal your deepest thoughts. This won’t be easy. You are exploring new emotional territory and when you realise you really are on unfamiliar ground, anxiety will be felt. Keep talking as this allows you to face your fears.

Virgo

After recently proving a point that it is better and easier to just get on with the job, someone who has been spending more time grumbling about all they had to do rather than just getting on with it has at last stopped running off at the mouth and finally got down to work.

Libra

You need to strive now to be in charge of your own financial destiny. You might admit money has been slipping through your fingers because of some recent festive extravagances. Take a step or two back now and consider the best ways to put your income to better use.

Scorpio 

You’re looking to the future and hoping to persuade someone close into agreeing to something that means a lot to you. You intuitively feel they won’t be as keen and it might take more than a little charm to talk them around.

Sagittarius

You can be impatient especially when you want to see results. Giving in to this side of your nature will not be good for your health. Responsibilities are getting you down and you may well wish you were somewhere other than where you are at the moment.

Capricorn

The need to look at your lifestyle is something that has been in the background for a few days. Be honest when you ask yourself whether you have been expecting too much from yourself. Start making plans to enjoy a less stressful life in the not too distant future.

Aquarius

You have plenty of energy, more even than those around you but carelessness could, if you aren’t careful, cause accidents. Even if you are good at your job you can’t afford to take a cavalier attitude. It will be important to take other people’s feelings into account.

Pisces

You’re looking for new ways to exercise your creative ability. Despite finding yourself having to cope with some extra demands and responsibilities you will organise your time in such a way that you do manage to get a few hours to call your own.
