Horoscopes today - Russell Grant's star sign forecast for Saturday, November 2

Aries

Sometimes, what you perceive to be a setback can actually be a blessing in disguise. Accept that challenges are lessons for you to overcome. As you start to understand their true nature you will find they are helping you break free from past issues and open the door to new opportunities.

Taurus

Even though surprises can't be foreseen, being aware of the possibility of exciting changes ahead allows you to reassess any arrangements that aren't working. That way you will be ready to respond quickly to some intriguing changes that are about to emerge from current events.

Gemini

Take a one-step-at-a-time approach to current responsibilities. Occasionally it can be to your advantage to express how you feel. But if you speak up now, this could lead to misunderstandings. Decide on what should take priority and you will know the next steps and best way to present your thoughts.

Cancer

You aren't wasting your time checking plans are as perfect as you can get them. It doesn't matter how confident you are about having considered all potential scenarios, the upcoming week's intriguing yet unsettling planetary picture suggests otherwise. Consider your options as thoroughly as possible.

Leo

Although it is impossible to prepare for everything, you sense there's something new on the horizon. This allows you to make contingency plans if certain arrangements don't go as expected. You are ready to react promptly no matter what occurs. Some intriguing developments could be triggered by a strange online conversation.

Virgo

Looking to the week ahead, it would be sensible to regard all plans as being provisional. This approach will mean that if and when the need to make changes occurs, you will be well-equipped to handle this. As you consider future arrangements you might also reflect on their overall value to you.

Libra

When someone tells you to face facts, this might seem a little daunting. Still, insights gained through taking part in some tough conversations will be worth the unease that comes with addressing these issues. You now have a clearer understanding of the situation and can create a plan to resolve complex issues.

Scorpio

You might feel as if you are running into one challenge after another. Once it is all over and you get a chance to reflect on what you've learned and how you've handled these situations, you will see they weren't just problems. They were opportunities that pushed you to confront ongoing worries.

Sagittarius

Some important decisions need to be postponed for a short while. When it comes to personal issues and reassessing your priorities, your perspective might be a little hazy. You will do your best to remain analytical but are you allowing emotions to colour your judgement?

Capricorn

Although choices you are now making appear clear-cut and straightforward, you have a strange feeling it might not be so easy. Your intuition is spot on when events in the background are already shaking things up. That's why it's wise to treat any plans you set as provisional.

Aquarius

Lately, things have been confusing and demanding. You've been through situations that have put your sensitivity and attention to detail to the test. It hasn't been easy but the lessons you are learning from these experiences will enhance your critical thinking skills.

Pisces

Don't get too anxious over the idea of letting other people down. In the past there have been friends and workmates who have shared what they like and dislike with you and you've done your best to meet their expectations. Remember though that things change and so do people's tastes.
