It's Monday, February 3, and one star sign will see a wave of optimism wash over them. 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.

A friend or co worker's recent actions have left you feeling unsettled. They’ve hurt you and although you’re now in a place where you can accept their apology, regaining your trust in them will be a lengthy process, if it’s even possible. You may find it in your heart to forgive, but the past will still be hard to forget. Plans and agreements you have set in motion are starting to open up exciting new possibilities for you. You’re preparing for challenges ahead. A meeting late in the day will be more successful than you dared dream of. Your skills are being recognised and you will be welcomed in new social circles.

When you enjoy your job, it brightens your outlook and makes you a wonderful person to be around. A work or romantic partner is brimming with creative ideas that could bring some excitement to your life. Even if you are single, the evening promises to be busy, romantically. Trying to keep everyone happy is turning out to be a bigger challenge than you expected. You've taken on more than you can handle in your effort to please others. You need to lighten your load. You wouldn’t intentionally disappoint anyone, which that’s why you feel annoyed with yourself when you can’t meet your commitments.

A wave of optimism washes over your future. Plans are starting to take shape and you can’t wait to work on these further. Your high spirits will uplift those around you. This all goes to create happier and more harmonious interactions. Spending time with your loved ones will add to your happiness. Helping those who need some support and bringing them happiness is your top priority now. The gratitude they express will make everything you do for them feel meaningful. You may find yourself paying more attention to a young relative as your enthusiasm motivates them to chase their dreams.

Once a heated debate calms down, your usual charm will surface. You will be quick to forgive when you realise someone is genuinely apologetic. Your popularity plays a big role in helping you achieve your goals. A charitable project or planning a cultural event will keep you motivated. A person you considered to be a friend could let you down. You trusted them with your secrets only to find that everyone seems to know what you wanted to be kept private. On the bright side this has allowed you to see them for who they truly are. You won’t be repeating the same mistake.

Your creative ideas will catch the attention of your boss and other superiors. This could result in a pleasant surprise such as a salary increase or new job opportunity. If you’re self-employed, now could be a great time to take a bold step forward. You’re faced with a big problem that involves having to make a big decision. Before you can do this you need to gather facts together and this may mean spending a lot of time on the phone or internet. If this involves a joint project, include your partner in the decision-making process.

Your mood is a reflective one as you find yourself thinking about life, the universe and just about everything else. This would be a good time to take a step back and evaluate your future goals. Someone close will also want to discuss joint long-term plans, mainly to reassure themselves that you are in agreement with their suggestions. The company of friends who are successful always seems to lift your spirits and boost your confidence. Their positive energy has a way of influencing you, but lately, it seems that people who are reserved and unsure of themselves are gravitating towards you, as you have the ability to support them.
