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

Semisextile

One sign along, a small adjustment to something settled. Nudge it rather than defending it whole. Small corrections are cheap now and expensive later.

Love
A small adjustment to something settled. Nudge it rather than defending it whole.
Money & career
One line in the budget needs correcting, not the whole budget.
Health & energy
Change one thing in the routine and leave the rest standing.

Gemini

Conjunction

The driver is in your own sign and everything speeds up, talk included. Say the useful thing before the day fills with the rest.

Love
Everything speeds up, talk included. Say the useful thing before the noise.
Money & career
Decide alone today rather than canvassing four opinions. Your own call, your own risk.
Health & energy
Mental speed is high and sleep is not. Slow the input.

Cancer

Semisextile

One sign along. Something close to home needs a small adjustment rather than a decision. Small corrections are cheap now and expensive later.

Love
Something close to home needs a small adjustment, not a decision.
Money & career
One domestic figure needs correcting. Do it before it grows.
Health & energy
Change one small thing in the routine and let the rest be.

Leo

Sextile

An easy angle. Warmth is returned without your working for it. Enjoy it and do not perform for it.

Love
Warmth is returned without your working for it. Do not perform for it.
Money & career
An opportunity arrives easily. It still needs you to take it.
Health & energy
Movement is easy and enjoyable today. Use it. Take it while it is easy.

Virgo

Square

The hard angle. Something is imperfect and cannot be fixed today. Tolerating that is the whole exercise. Friction is information rather than a verdict.

Love
Something is imperfect and cannot be fixed today. Tolerating that is the exercise.
Money & career
An obstacle that will not yield to more preparation. Act anyway.
Health & energy
Tension is in the body rather than the thinking. Move it.

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

Quincunx

An awkward angle. Something is hidden and will not be uncovered today by pressing. Adjustment without resolution is the whole shape of it.

Love
Something is hidden and pressing will not uncover it today.
Money & career
A figure that does not reconcile. Leave it rather than investigating.
Health & energy
Something is off and rest is the answer, not more will.

Sagittarius

Opposition

Across the wheel. Somebody's caution meets your appetite. They are not wrong; hear the objection out. The other position is a real one, held by somebody.

Love
Somebody's caution meets your appetite. They are not wrong; listen.
Money & career
A negotiation rather than an adventure. Name the number. Say it once and stop talking.
Health & energy
Push and rest oppose each other. Choose rest at least once.

Capricorn

Quincunx

An awkward angle. Something cannot be scheduled into working. Accept the untidiness for now. Adjustment without resolution is the whole shape of it.

Love
Something cannot be scheduled into working. Accept the untidiness. Adjustment without resolution is the shape of it.
Money & career
A figure that will not reconcile. Note it and continue.
Health & energy
Something is off and rest, not discipline, is the answer.

Aquarius

Trine

The flowing angle. The system and the situation agree, so build the thing you have been describing. Ease is not the same as significance; aim it.

Love
The system and the situation agree. Say the thing you have been describing.
Money & career
Conditions favour the unconventional move. Make it today. Ease is not significance; aim it.
Health & energy
Energy is available and abstract. Ground it physically. Spend it on the thing that needed both.

Pisces

Square

The hard angle. Something requires a hard edge and you would rather dissolve than draw one. Draw it. Friction is information rather than a verdict.

Love
Something requires a hard edge and you would rather dissolve. Draw it.
Money & career
An obstacle that vagueness will not get past. Be specific.
Health & energy
Tension you have absorbed from elsewhere. Put it down. Discharge it rather than carrying it home.

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.
