It’s Wednesday, April 16, and one star sign's desire to break free from regular commitments and get away from familiar places will be more intense than usual.

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)

You’re making progress and that’s why you’re in the mood for a change of scenery. The desire to break free from regular commitments and get away from familiar places will be more intense than usual. A family issue will be resolved and this will bring you some relief.

Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)

It hasn’t taken long to realise you have teamed up with people who aren’t contributing to a joint project and they don’t intend to make any effort to do so. Try not to feel bitter about their lack of support. Instead, look on this as an opportunity to step away and pursue your goals independently.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21)

You’re picking up on some strange vibrations from those around you. This is making you feel uneasy. You are starting to wonder what someone might be saying behind your back or whether they have been involved in something you haven’t been aware of.

Cancer (June 22 - July 23)

Take your time with important decisions. That means: don’t let anyone pressure you into making up your mind before you feel ready to do so. An unexpected job offer is worth considering even if this does lead you to having to reassess your career situation.

Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)

If you love studying and travelling, now is a great time to reflect on your priorities and make plans for the future. Think about what it might take to achieve something meaningful to you. What actions do you need to take in order to turn ambitious ideas into reality?

Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23)

You’ve been enjoying life and relationships and making time for hobbies. All this might soon change. Although you will still want to have some fun, events occurring early in the day will prompt you to get organised as you start to map out your path to success.

Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23)

It will be a good idea to avoid putting off those projects that have needed attention for a while. You can’t keep putting them on the back burner. Instead, take the necessary steps to complete them now. Even if it means staying up late to get this done.

Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)

You’re lost in your own thoughts, imagining situations and places that seem worlds apart from your current surroundings. Such dreams could lead you to making a holiday booking. A text message, email or phone call will reveal someone special has been thinking of you.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)

Keep practising if you are learning a new skill and you will soon be pleased with your efforts. A new business or financial agreement is in the works. Consider everything carefully before signing important documents. If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask an expert.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)

If you notice a friend or neighbour engaging in questionable behaviour, it would be easy to jump to conclusions. Instead, take a little time to think it through. If their actions don’t affect you, there’s no need for them to know that you witnessed what they’ve been up to.

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)

A joint money-making venture might sound appealing at first but rushing into this could jeopardise the plan. If you overlook the finer details, errors are likely to occur and what started off as a great idea could quickly become a financial disaster.

Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)

You’re ready for a change but you aren’t sure what you want next. Take a look around you. Find out what else is going on in your neighbourhood. Look for activities that will lift you out of a tiresome rut. Refuse to let boredom slide into negativity.
