It's Saturday, October 5, and one star sign needs to take a step back from the spotlight.

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)

A project that has been both challenging and enjoyable is nearing its conclusion. The light at the end of the tunnel is clearly visible and you’re eager to reach it. You’re happy to complete tasks that are in their final stages. Discussions with a creative friend will resolve a work-related issue.

Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)

Be careful and pay attention when working on anything that requires concentration. A promotion, or changes in your current position will not necessarily be the best move for you. Think things through before making a decision. Talk about your future options in detail with your family. They will have some interesting points to make.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21)

There are plenty of chances to have fun in creative, social, and romantic ways. You might find it hard to recall the last time you enjoyed yourself this much. Now is a great time to make future travel plans or to plan a large family get-together. Conversations about a celebration that was postponed earlier in the year will resume.

Cancer (June 22 - July 23)

You feel compelled to stand by a friend who is trying to break free from a difficult situation. You aren’t sure how this will work but what’s important is that you show your support. This will help give them the confidence to make a life-changing decision.

Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)

Someone you have always seen as a friend is starting to irritate you. A coworker is trying to impose their opinions on you. If you aren’t in the mood to deal with it, ignore messages and voicemails. Take a step back from the spotlight. It’s important to relax and recharge.

Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23)

Before a stressful situation escalates, try to foster a sense of harmony. Do your best to keep the atmosphere calm. A break in the pressure will provide an opportunity to talk with others and enjoy some light conversation. This can help alleviate any lingering tension.

Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23)

You can sense other people’s feelings and emotions and it’s almost like you can read their minds. Look beyond the obvious when making important decisions. Being able to understand the needs of those around you will definitely be an advantage.

Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)

A friend trusts that their secrets will remain safe with you. Your knack for understanding what other people need will be of benefit in the workplace. People naturally gravitate towards you and they value your guidance. Getting involved in a team effort will be rewarding. Increased popularity could lead to romantic opportunities.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)

A heart to heart conversation will give you a chance to learn more about a friend or loved one’s dreams, hopes and wishes. Talks will highlight common interests and beliefs that help strengthen your bond. Delving into new subjects together will further enrich this relationship.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)

Unresolved anger is starting to affect your health. Lately, there have been times when you have found it hard to hide your frustration. There is someone who knows how to soothe you. Positive relationships can be a big help towards maintaining balance in life and by the end of the day you will have greater control over your emotions.

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)

You have made up your mind on what you want to do and because of this, you won’t listen to small-minded competitors. Allow your instincts to steer you as you make changes in your life that you know, deep down, are right for you.

Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)

An agent you are introduced to could help propel your career forward in various ways. You might not feel like talking business but if the opportunity arises, you would regret it later if you don’t take advantage. Sometimes lucrative offers can come at the strangest times.
