Russell Grant's horoscopes as Libra to take decisive action to break the cycle
Today's daily horoscopes for each star sign can be found below. These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant who has been reading star signs for more than 50 years.
Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)
A misunderstanding is causing tension within the home. You wish it hadn't happened but you can't erase what has already occurred. An older relative will offer to help in uniting the family and making it feel whole again. Spend some time with your closest friends this evening.
Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)
Prepare for problems during your daily commute. If you're working from home, technical issues will cause delays. A disagreement with a friend or colleague will add to your frustration. Remain calm and keep telling yourself that the situation will improve.
Gemini (May 22 - June 21)
It won't take long for you to decide that today is not the most favourable day for you in terms of communication. Your boss will express some disappointment regarding how you utilise your free time. If you find yourself in disagreement with a supervisor, it will be because they think they are always right.
Cancer (June 22 - July 23)
It's difficult to ignore sweet cravings. Opt for fruit as a healthy alternative. Keep reminding yourself that adding a little exercise into your daily schedule is essential and it will make you feel good too. Also, a positive mindset can benefit your overall health.
Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)
You need to make a choice about how to use an unexpected gain or financial windfall. Should you settle your debts or treat yourself to something you have longed for, for ages? Ask for the advice of a practical friend. You might be surprised when they tell you to prioritise your own happiness for a change.
Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23)
Take some time to reflect on your life, thoughts and feelings. This will help you identify sources of stress and tension. Ignoring these, once you have worked out the problem, could impact your health. Your aim should now be to avoid stressful situations.
Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23)
A relationship that is up and down is getting you down. Unless you take decisive action to break out of this cycle, things will never change. You have reached your emotional limit, you can no longer endure the uncertainty and you're ready to step away.
Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)
Even though you would like to have a difficult matter settled and over with, don't let anyone pressure you into agreeing to their suggestions too quickly. If someone is in a rush, their proposal will benefit them more than it will, you.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)
You will be in your element when travelling and dealing with people from a distance. Language is not a barrier when you find some fun and workable ways to communicate with each other. You and a work colleague are on the same wavelength and a joint venture will have a happy ending.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
Mixing in new social circles will challenge your thinking. New experiences could lead you to places you have never been to before. A senior colleague who values your practical skills will make you an offer you will not want to refuse.
Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
It's never easy when you are asked to take over another person's responsibilities and yet this seems to be the situation you are in right now. It will be important for you to demonstrate a high level of discipline in order to accomplish a task that someone else has abandoned.
Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)
You intuitively sense some situations are changing but you aren't sure yet whether this is for the good. Around midday you might sense something isn't quite right. If you mention this to another sensitive soul, they will confirm that they too have the same feeling.

Today's horoscope for June 13 as Gemini addresses problems in a relationship
Today's horoscope for Friday, June 13 will see Libra take on the role of team leader, while Leo embarks on a home improvement project It's Friday, and one star sign should communicate with kindness today, while another could discover an amazing job opportunity. There are 12 zodiac signs - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces - and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more. These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here's what today could bring for your horoscope - and what you can do to be prepared. Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20) Sharing too many details of a situation to someone who isn't ready to hear them can make them tense and nervous. If you get the impression a friend or relative doesn't want to talk, back off. Communicate with love and kindness. Avoid words that might make other people feel guilty. Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21) If you wake up feeling under the weather, don't force yourself to continue with arrangements you don't feel up to. If you suspect you are coming down with a summer cold, take some vitamin C and soak up some sunshine. A friend might introduce you to the health benefits of herbal teas. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) It would be better not to ignore problems in a close relationship. Be ready to address any lingering issues in your home. Tension is high due to conflict and disagreements. Gather your family together to discuss the root cause of the problem and then work towards finding a resolution. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) Even if you weren't looking to make any changes, you could discover an amazing job opportunity. To take this up will mean having to relocate. This isn't something you can decide on alone. Reach out to your family and friends; they will offer valuable guidance. Leo (July 24 - Aug 23) A home improvement project is set underway. Your aim is to create a sense of tranquillity in your living space. Think about adding a gentle waterfall feature and some greenery with houseplants. If you feel you have outgrown your living space, renting, buying or selling property are some considerations. Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23) If you're working from home, noise and other activity happening around you could be a big distraction so be sure to get started as early as possible. Put in your best effort as there are people monitoring your productivity in the background. Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23) You have a remarkable ability to unite people. This is a unique gift your ruling planet, Venus, has bestowed on you. Today, this skill will be put to the test as you take on the role of team leader. Your team will be tasked with creating new procedures and together you will come up with some great ideas. Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22) Go with the mood of the moment. Ignore what anyone else might say and follow your own inclinations. It doesn't matter if it is buying a new cologne or indulging in a fancy takeout dinner, the important thing is to abandon yourself to the joy of sensory experiences. Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21) A sudden longing for recognition and status will lead you to being more sociable than usual. You will seize every chance you get to pursue greater and more rewarding opportunities. Don't hesitate to apply for a position that offers more responsibility as this will bring a touch more professional respect. Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20) Exploring different forms of healing such as homeopathic remedies and sound therapy could help improve your well-being. A practical friend will share their experiences and the benefits they have found from such treatments. Set up a virtual appointment with your healthcare provider to discuss your ideas. Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19) There is conflict between your home life and your career. This isn't the first time this has happened. Your family is feeling the strain of the long hours and time you spend away from them. There is no easy solution but it will be important to make some thoughtful choices. Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20) Your main focus will be on paperwork, commerce and business. A job assignment could grow quite intriguing and you will be glad you were around to be able to join in with this experience. Just be sure to thoroughly review any contracts before signing them.

Try our 23-question British Citizenship Test to see if you could pass it
Anyone hoping to get British citizenship must score 75 percent or more on the Life in the UK Test. For those who have migrated to the UK and wish to set up life here, there are a huge number of things you need to complete. It can be a long and arduous process for many people, with a number of challenges. One of the hurdles for those applying for citizenship is the Life in the UK Test, which is compulsory for all applicants aged between 18 and 65. There are very few exemptions, even for those who have lived in Britain for a long period, have certain qualifications, or have come from an English-speaking country. The test is an opportunity to prove your knowledge of life and language in the UK, demonstrating your dedication to living here and your respect for our culture and people. In order to even get the chance to take the test, you have to have been living here for a certain amount of time and not have any criminal convictions. You also must first pass an English language test. It costs £50 to sit the test and there are more than 30 test centres across the country. You may sit it as many times as it takes to pass, but you will have to pay each time. Information for the test comes from the official Life in the UK Test handbook, with citizenship applicants given 45 minutes to answer 24 questions about our traditions and customs. The topics covered in the test include UK culture, history, geography, religion, sport, and more. While many of the questions are quite straightforward, there are some that prove tricky, even to those who have lived in the UK their whole life, and would require some background knowledge or research. To pass, you must score 75 per cent or higher, i.e. answer at least 18 questions correctly. You will be notified immediately if you have been successful. Once you have passed, you are one step closer to securing a dark blue British passport and being a citizen. If you want to see how you would get on, our colleagues at the Manchester Evening News have prepared a 23-question quiz to see if you would pass. So if you're up for the challenge, read on and test your mettle. Good luck! If you can't see the quiz below, click HERE.
