Russell Grant's horoscopes as Aries to lift spirits and Virgo see improvements

Daily Record3 days ago
Today's horoscopes, brought to you by Russell Grant.
Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)
Keep the good energy flowing in your home by staying on top of chores. Housemates will get on far better when you aren't arguing over who does what and when. Some tasks may seem difficult but you will quickly restore order to your home. This will lift everyone's spirits.

Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)
In a group situation, you seem to be the most skilled and knowledgeable. It will feel flattering that others are turning to you as their go-to adviser when they hit some tricky problems. Just remember, your role is to provide genuine help and advice, not just to receive compliments.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21)
In some situations it's best to consult a qualified professional. They can provide you with the right guidance. You might feel overwhelmed by your thoughts and preferences, making it hard to handle issues alone. If there is no professional help available, talking to a trusted friend will help.

Cancer (June 22 - July 23)
You enjoy sharing what you have with others but today, indulge in some personal spending, not for anyone else but for your own enjoyment. Treat yourself to a spa day, visit a beautician or buy something you have wanted for a while. You have worked hard and you deserve to be spoiled.

Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)
If you have been hoping there would be some kind of change in your life, you're in for a treat. An opportunity will mean ending old commitments to make room for the new. This change makes you glow. If nothing is happening, you might feel an urge to reinvent yourself.

Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23)
Complex, time-consuming tasks have now been completed and this accomplishment will help to save you a lot of time and effort in the future. Because of this you will feel a tremendous sense of relief. Not everything will be perfect but things are definitely improving.
Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23)
Work and outside responsibilities have been taking up too much of your time. You haven't had as much room in your life as you would have liked for personal relationships. If you keep prioritising your career over your family, loved ones will start voicing their concerns.
Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)
You've always been able to trust your intuition and you have sensed change in the air. What is happening now will impact your privacy. You aren't surprised by the sudden change but you will want to reflect on whether someone you care for is starting to cause you more pain than happiness.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)
You aren't feeling good about some things going on today. Staying in a difficult situation will only make it worse. Even someone who has just come on the scene can see you aren't in a good mood. If this is work, and you have a good relationship with management, they might let you leave early.
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
A change of plans early in the day will provide you with an opportunity to connect with the right people. It would be best not to resort to flattery or to seek favours from those whose support would mean a lot to you. Just be friendly and let the situation develop as it should.
Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
You could find yourself in a place or environment you had not imagined you would be visiting today. Although some events may appear advantageous, you can't seem to feel enthusiastic about it. To understand your feelings, you may have to take some time for self-reflection.
Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)
Since other people either aren't available or aren't willing, you may have to dedicate yourself to the more unappreciated tasks at hand. Colleagues will offer to assume your more creative responsibilities but you wish they would be as generous in their offers to help elsewhere.

John's cruel new move that destroys Emmerdale's Robert

Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) is a huge threat to John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) in Emmerdale and he knows he need to get rid. John is on a mission to discredit Robert to everyone around him because Robert has been getting dangerously close to discovering the truth about John's killer tendencies. Robert has already twigged that there's something iffy going on with the amount of lives John has apparently saved. And Robert is close to cracking the case of Owen – the man found dead with a suicide note claiming that he killed Nate. He knows it was John, he just doesn't fully know he knows. John has been manipulating and gaslighting Robert and those around them to protect himself, but now he finds a way to truly destroy Robert, and there's no need for needles, spanners, or fake suicide notes. John hits him where it hurts through Harry. Robert has been working hard to get things with his family back on track and has tried to be the doting uncle since his return. He's helped Vic out with childcare, had a kick about with Harry, made him breakfast. Wholesome. That, as John identifies, is his weak spot. Vic (Isabel Hodgins) persuades Robert to spend some more time with Harry and it goes swimmingly. That is until he takes him to the café where he finds Aaron (Danny Miller). John finds him chatting to Aaron, and all is suddenly very much not ok. John's blood instantly boils, and he comes up with his new plan. With Robert busy, John spends some time with Harry, putting thoughts in his head. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

His plan is put into action when Robert takes Harry home and Harry decides to start drumming. The kid won't quit, and Robert's patience only go so far. When he hits his limit, he unleashes fury on the child. Who should walk in at that exact moment? Uncle John. More Trending John smirks as Harry runs straight to him for comfort and Robert is left feeling crushed. On returning home, John can't want to tell Aaron what an idiot Robert is, and it looks like he's truly found his weak spot. Once it gets out that he's now also aggressive towards children on top of everything else, Robert is cooked. View More » Has John found a way to destroy Robert's reputation once and for all?

Abi and Carl ‘set to be caught ' in Coronation Street - but not by Kevin

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Abi Webster (Sally Carman) and her brother in law Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) have recently started an illicit relationship on Coronation Street after they gave in to passions that had been brewing ever since Carl arrived in the area. The thing that finally made Abi give in to her feelings for Carl was when she discovered that Kevin (Michael Le Vell) had been telling a massive lie – that he was still undergoing cancer treatment, even though he was declared free of the disease some time ago. Poor Kevin had had an inkling that there was an attraction between his wife and his brother, and he told the lie hoping that Abi wouldn't want to leave him while she still thought he had cancer. Obviously this backfired badly. Since their first passionate encounter, Abi and Carl have been sneaking away to meet up in secret. Kevin has been left floundering by the prospect of his marriage disintegrating, but in the face of Abi's denials that anything is going on with Carl, he's had no proof. In upcoming episodes the two lovers become careless about their meetings and risk being spotted. Not by Kevin, but by someone very close to him – his friend and long-time colleague Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall). Abi gets a text from Carl, and tells Kevin that she has a migraine and needs to go home. Carl is waiting for her there, but Abi feels too guilty to let anything happen in the home she shares with Kevin. Carl suggests they go for a drive instead and they head off. More Trending But at the precinct, Tyrone spots Carl's car and it's clear that he's seen Carl, who heads over to talk to him to avoid him coming any closer to the car. Abi sinks down in the passenger seat, desperately hoping that Tyrone hasn't seen her. But has he? Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

Tyrone has previously shown that he doesn't like keeping secrets, especially about things that will hurt his friends. He was the one who told Abi about Kevin's cancer lie, to stop her upsetting Jack (Kyran Bowes) by wrongly telling him that his dad's cancer treatment wasn't working.

You can mute – but you can never leave. Why have WhatsApp groups become so stressful?

It's the new last taboo. Officially added to the list of topics you absolutely must not discuss, along with politics, money and religion: the WhatsApp side group. Apparently nobody told Melanie C from the Spice Girls though, because she has just revealed far too much about theirs. 'There are subgroups within the group,' she told the Sydney Morning Herald's Sunday Life magazine. 'I definitely know there is a chat group that doesn't contain me, but somewhere else we keep Ginger or Posh out.' Staying up to date with your side chats – not least ensuring each message you send doesn't go on the wrong thread – is the most anxiety-ridden full-time job most of us have ever had. A friend of mine has a group with five mums from her daughter's class, and another whittled down to four of them, then more with three, two and one. How she keeps track without the use of a murder investigation board with red strings pinned to photographs is genuinely a mystery. The latest data tells us what we already knew: WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app in the world with more than 3 billion monthly active users. I think at this point I'm in a group with all of them. There's no faster, easier, more convenient way of staying in touch and making arrangements – and that's the problem. It's so quick and simple to set up a group that any social situation including more than two participants seems to result in one being formed. Often the conversation goes on, whether out of desire or politeness, long after the event has passed. This method of interacting can lead you down some ludicrous avenues, such as the recent debate I found myself in about whether 'hearting' an invitation means you're simply thanking the person for their kind offer or formally accepting it in a legally binding manner. (For the record, it's the former, right?) Complicating matters further is that we're not only in groups with our mates, but also those we know only barely, or sometimes not at all. I'm on a local WhatsApp group, formed to support quarantining neighbours in 2020, that's now a forum for questions that could have been Googled, passive-aggressive comments, and generous offers of free furniture people can't be bothered to take to the tip. It's filled with characters I've mostly never met but feel intimately acquainted with, and I have several side groups with friends on my road discussing the more controversial posts. Even the profile picture is divisive – one member's cat, Daisy, who half the street love and enjoy sharing sightings of, and the other half (secretly) hate because she defecates on their doorsteps. Recently a newcomer who'd left his back door open in the hot weather reported that Daisy had strolled into his house and started eating his dinner, with photographs to prove it. My phone got so hot through side-chat action I was worried it might explode. Worth it. It's fast becoming second nature to double check that each message is being put on the correct thread before posting, like the modern equivalent of the adage 'measure twice because you can only cut once'. Deleting, even if you're so lightning quick nobody had yet read it, leaves a notification that's such a clear admission of guilt you may as well have not bothered. Imagine what everyone would be saying in the side chats about you then! I took a vow of silence on our school chat when a fellow mum's husband read ours over her shoulder and observed sagely: 'No one comes out of this looking good, do they?' Legend has it that another class has a note pinned to the top of their group with the rules that must be abided by within, including, 'No LOLs.' The author's ears must have been warmer than my phone the day she typed that. And anyway, there's only one real law when it comes to WhatsApp groups and subgroups – muting the thread is fine, but actually exiting is not the done thing. Whatever you preface your farewell with, those you leave behind will get the message '*Your name* has left the group', with all the hair flicking and flouncing out that implies. Etiquette-wise, it's a no. You've made/been added without consent to your WhatsApp bed, and now you will lie in it for the rest of your life. A la the Hotel California, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?
