Aries

Sextile

An easy angle. Something opens without a fight, which is unfamiliar territory for you. Take it without needing to have forced it.

Love
Somebody has opened a door. Walk through it instead of kicking a different one.
Money & career
An easy opening that still needs you to move on it today.
Health & energy
Movement comes cheaply today, so use it rather than storing it.

Taurus

Square

The hard angle. Something wants changing and you would rather it did not. The resistance costs more than the change.

Love
Something wants changing and you would rather it did not. The resistance costs more.
Money & career
The plan meets something immovable. Adjust the timing, not the goal.
Health & energy
Tension is sitting in the body. Move it rather than waiting it out.

Gemini

Trine

The flowing angle. Ideas connect and people answer. Land one of them before the day disperses everything. Ease is not the same as significance; aim it.

Love
Ideas and warmth connect. Land one conversation rather than opening six.
Money & career
Conditions favour the pitch. Make it today while it is easy.
Health & energy
Energy is available and scattered. Aim it at one thing.

Cancer

Quincunx

An awkward angle. Something does not fit and the discomfort is not a sign you did wrong. Adjustment without resolution is the whole shape of it.

Love
Something does not fit and the discomfort is not a verdict on you.
Money & career
A figure that will not reconcile. Leave it open today.
Health & energy
Something is off and rest is the answer rather than effort.

Leo

Opposition

Across the wheel. Somebody else has the room. Let them, and notice you lose nothing by it. The other position is a real one, held by somebody.

Love
Somebody else has the room. Let them and lose nothing.
Money & career
A negotiation where the other party will not be impressed. Bring substance.
Health & energy
Effort and recovery are opposed. Take the recovery. Choose rather than splitting the difference.

Virgo

Quincunx

An awkward angle. Something does not reconcile and further analysis will not reconcile it. Adjustment without resolution is the whole shape of it.

Love
Something does not reconcile and further analysis will not reconcile it.
Money & career
A figure that stays awkward. Note it and move on.
Health & energy
Something is off and no adjustment fixes it. Rest instead.

Libra

Trine

The flowing angle. Harmony without effort, which is what you have been arranging by hand for weeks. Ease is not the same as significance; aim it.

Love
Harmony without effort, which you usually arrange by hand. Say that you noticed.
Money & career
Conditions favour the agreement. Close it today. Ease is not significance; aim it.
Health & energy
Energy is even and pleasant. Use it on something that lasts.

Scorpio

Square

The hard angle. Control is not available today and gripping harder will cost you more than letting go would.

Love
Control is not available and gripping harder costs you more.
Money & career
An obstacle that will not yield to leverage. Try the direct route.
Health & energy
Tension held in the body needs discharging rather than mastering.

Sagittarius

Sextile

An easy angle. A door opens somewhere you were not aiming. Go through it. An open door still has to be walked through.

Love
A door opens somewhere you were not aiming. Go through it.
Money & career
An easy opportunity, arriving sideways. Take it today. It will not wait to be evaluated.
Health & energy
Movement comes very easily. Go somewhere rather than planning to.

Capricorn

Semisextile

One sign along. A small structural correction, cheap now and expensive later. Small corrections are cheap now and expensive later.

Love
A small structural correction, cheap now and expensive later. Small now, awkward later.
Money & career
One figure needs fixing before it compounds. Correct it before it compounds.
Health & energy
Change one habit rather than restructuring the whole regime. One change, held for a week.

Aquarius

Conjunction

The driver is in your own sign. Your own reading of things is unusually clear and unusually far ahead. Say it plainly once.

Love
Your reading is clear and far ahead. Say it plainly once.
Money & career
Decide alone today; the committee will slow a good call.
Health & energy
Everything is amplified including the nervous system. Reduce input. Decide the stopping point in advance.

Pisces

Semisextile

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

Love
A small drift worth correcting before it becomes the direction.
Money & career
One figure needs looking at. Open the envelope. Correct it before it compounds.
Health & energy
Change one habit rather than intending a whole new life.

For your Chinese animal

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

Rat

A 5 loosens what routine had settled, which is where you thrive. Point it at the situation that has been stuck rather than at starting a fresh chase, and you will get more out of the day than anyone.

Ox

Change costs you more than it costs any other animal, and a 5 brings it regardless. Choose one thing to alter voluntarily. Chosen movement is always cheaper than the kind that arrives on its own schedule.

Tiger

Your appetite and this number agree. Movement, risk, a door that was not there yesterday. Walk through one rather than surveying all three, and be honest that the survey is usually the avoidance.

Rabbit

A 5 disturbs the arrangements you rely on to feel safe. Keep one fixed point in the day and let the rest move. The disruption is entirely manageable with a single anchor and unbearable without one.

Dragon

Range and visibility, both of which suit you. The risk is spending the whole of the freedom on being seen taking it. Go somewhere rather than being watched going somewhere. The anchor can be unglamorous. It only has to be fixed.

Snake

Five is loose and provisional and you distrust both. Let something stay undecided for a day. Not everything has to be settled before it is allowed to proceed. What stays open a little longer tends to arrive in better shape.

Horse

Your number, straightforwardly, and the road is open. Check only that the direction was chosen rather than merely away from whatever bored you last week. Choosing the direction is the only discipline this number asks of you.

Goat

A 5 will move you before you are ready and the readiness was never coming. Say yes to the thing that changes the shape of the week, and let the anxiety arrive afterwards rather than instead.

Monkey

Novelty is your element and completion is not. A 5 hands you the first and takes no interest in the second. Put a date on whichever part somebody else depends on. The novelty is free and the follow-through is not, so price it now.

Rooster

Your instinct is to restore the structure the moment it loosens. Wait a beat. Some of what is coming apart was holding you in place rather than holding you up. Provisional is not the same as careless, whatever your instinct reports.

Dog

Loyalty and change sit awkwardly together, and today asks for both. Let the arrangement shift without deciding the relationship shifted with it. Those are different questions. A changed arrangement is not a changed loyalty, and today those get confused.

Pig

A 5 scatters and you drift easily, so the two together can dissolve a day. Choose the one current worth following and let the others pass without investigating where they went. Choose the current rather than following whichever is nearest and friendliest.
