Aries

Quincunx

An awkward angle, adjustment without a clean answer. Something does not fit and cannot be forced into fitting today.

Love
Something does not fit and cannot be forced into fitting today.
Money & career
An awkward number that will not reconcile. Leave it open.
Health & energy
Something is off and no amount of effort settles it. Rest.

Taurus

Opposition

Across the wheel. Somebody wants what you are holding. Negotiate rather than digging in, since digging in is what you will do.

Love
Somebody wants what you are holding. Negotiate rather than digging in.
Money & career
A negotiation you will want to win by outlasting. Name your number.
Health & energy
Rest and effort are opposed today. Pick one deliberately. Choose rather than splitting the difference.

Gemini

Quincunx

An awkward angle. Something will not resolve into a clean explanation, and explaining it harder will not help. Adjustment without resolution is the whole shape of it.

Love
Something will not resolve into a clean explanation. Stop explaining it.
Money & career
A figure that does not reconcile. Note it and leave it.
Health & energy
Something is off and analysing it is making it worse.

Cancer

Trine

The flowing angle. What you give is met in kind today, which is rarer than you think and worth noticing.

Love
What you give is met in kind, which is rarer than you think.
Money & career
Conditions favour provision. Put something aside today. Ease is not significance; aim it.
Health & energy
Energy is steady. A good day for the restorative habit.

Leo

Square

The hard angle. Something requires you to give ground publicly. Doing it early costs far less than doing it late.

Love
Something requires giving ground publicly. Early costs less than late.
Money & career
An obstacle to the plan and pride is the expensive part.
Health & energy
Tension needs burning off rather than carried into the evening.

Virgo

Sextile

An easy angle. The detail falls into place without being forced. Let it. An open door still has to be walked through.

Love
Somebody makes it easy. Accept it without improving on their version.
Money & career
An easy opportunity. Take it before you have finished evaluating it.
Health & energy
Movement comes easily. Skip the metrics and just go. Take it while it is easy.

Libra

Semisextile

One sign along. A small imbalance worth correcting before it becomes the arrangement. Small corrections are cheap now and expensive later.

Love
A small imbalance worth correcting before it becomes the arrangement.
Money & career
One figure needs adjusting. Do it rather than deferring again.
Health & energy
Change one habit rather than balancing four. One change, held for a week.

Scorpio

Conjunction

The driver is in your own sign, which raises the intensity of everything, including what you would rather not feel. Do not act on the peak of it.

Love
Intensity runs at full strength, including what you would rather not feel.
Money & career
Decide alone today. You already have more information than anybody.
Health & energy
Everything is amplified. Do not act on the peak of it.

Sagittarius

Semisextile

One sign along. A small correction to the route rather than the destination. Small corrections are cheap now and expensive later.

Love
A small correction to the route, not the destination. Small now, awkward later.
Money & career
One figure needs adjusting before the whole plan does. Correct it before it compounds.
Health & energy
Change one habit rather than starting a whole programme. One change, held for a week.

Capricorn

Sextile

An easy angle. Something advances without the effort you had budgeted. Bank the time rather than spending it. An open door still has to be walked through.

Love
Something advances without the effort you budgeted. Bank the time.
Money & career
An easy opportunity. Take it rather than earning it first.
Health & energy
Movement comes easily today. Use it rather than saving it.

Aquarius

Square

The hard angle. The principle meets a person and the person is in the room. Deal with them first.

Love
The principle meets a person in the room. Deal with them first.
Money & career
An obstacle where the systemic argument does not help. Be practical.
Health & energy
Tension from too much input. Get outside and stop reading.

Pisces

Trine

The flowing angle. Intuition and circumstance agree, so trust the read and act on it while it holds. Ease is not the same as significance; aim it.

Love
Intuition and circumstance agree. Trust the read and say it.
Money & career
Conditions favour the imaginative move. Act while it holds. Ease is not significance; aim it.
Health & energy
Energy is gentle and sufficient. Use it on something restorative.

For your Chinese animal

The same reading, taken through each animal of the Chinese zodiac.

Rat

An 8 deals in what things are actually worth, which is territory you read well. Ask for the real figure today rather than working out what it might be from what people let slip.

Ox

Your ground exactly. Eight settles accounts and rewards the patient position. Close the arrangement that has been informal too long, and get the number written down while everyone is still agreeable. Patience is the leverage here rather than pressure, and it works only if you actually name the figure.

Tiger

Say plainly what you want from this. An 8 rewards the direct request far more than the strong position, and you are better at direct than almost anyone once you decide to be.

Rabbit

An 8 asks you to name a value and accept that somebody may be disappointed by it. That is unavoidable here. Decide what it is worth to you before the conversation rather than during it.

Dragon

Power and material standing suit you, and this number is entirely uninterested in how any of it looks. Deal with the substance. The impressive version can be arranged afterwards if it still seems worth arranging.

Snake

You can see exactly where the discrepancy sits and have been choosing not to mention it. An 8 is the day to mention it, plainly and once, without the preamble that softens it into nothing.

Horse

An 8 wants the practical and consequential, which you will find dull. Do it once, properly. An afternoon on the contract buys a year of not thinking about the contract. Say the number out loud rather than assuming the arrangement is understood.

Goat

Naming a price is the hard part and the only part that matters. Write the number down before you go in, because in the room you will discount yourself without noticing you did it.

Monkey

Cleverness will not substitute for the real figures today. An 8 can tell the difference between a good framing and a good position, and so, this once, can everybody else in the room.

Rooster

Your number in temperament: precision applied to something that pays. Just remember to bank the result rather than immediately raising the target, which is the habit that costs you the enjoyment. Say it once and plainly, because the annotated version never lands.

Dog

You will handle somebody else's account better than your own. An 8 asks you to state your own worth today, out loud, to the person who decides it.

Pig

Be careful with generosity under this number. An 8 keeps score whether or not you do, and a loan made warmly today is still a loan in March. Warmth and a written figure are not in conflict, whatever it feels like.
