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.

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
A 1 rewards the first move made alone, which is where you are most capable and least comfortable being seen. Start it quietly and let people find out afterwards. The Rat's advantage is noticing the opening early, and it expires the moment somebody else notices it too.
Ox
Beginning is the one thing your patience works against. A 1 does not wait for conditions and neither should you. Start something small enough that beginning it costs nothing, and let your persistence do what it always does once the thing is moving.
Tiger
Your instinct and this number agree completely: go first, without permission. The only caution is that a 1 opens a sequence rather than settling anything, so what you start today will still need you in March, when the excitement has entirely gone.
Rabbit
A 1 asks you to move before the ground is safe, which is not how you prefer to work. Take one step that can be walked back if it goes badly. Reversibility is what makes a beginning possible for you at all.
Dragon
Beginnings suit you and this one comes without an audience. Start the thing you have not announced. The Dragon's difficulty with a 1 is confusing the declaration with the act, and a 1 counts only the second of those.
Snake
You will know exactly where to begin and will want another week of watching first. A 1 gives you the read you needed some time ago. Move on it now, quietly, before the situation changes shape and you have to start the analysis again.
Horse
Starting is easy and choosing is not. A 1 opens one road rather than several, so pick the one you would still want in six months and refuse the rest today, plainly, before your enthusiasm commits you to all of them.
Goat
A 1 asks you to begin without company, which is the arrangement you like least. Do it anyway. Something started alone now becomes the thing others join later, and joining is much easier for people than founding.
Monkey
Cleverness gets you the opening and only persistence keeps it. A 1 hands the Monkey an obvious advantage and an obvious trap: you will have begun four things by evening and finished none. Choose one before lunch.
Rooster
You want the plan complete and the schedule written before anything starts. A 1 does not work that way. Begin at seventy percent, correct as you go, and accept that the tidy version was never going to survive first contact.
Dog
You will start when somebody needs you to, and a 1 asks you to start for yourself. Notice the difference today. Something you want, rather than something you owe, and begun without waiting for anyone to ask.
Pig
Begin it before you feel ready, because you will not feel ready. A 1 rewards the definite first step over the long preparation, and the Pig's warmth makes it easy to keep preparing in good company indefinitely.
