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 6 puts the household ahead of the enterprise, and your instinct to provide will read the whole day as work. Some of it is not. Sit with somebody without solving anything for them.

Ox

Your number and your natural condition: comfort, care, the well-kept thing. Enjoy it plainly. The only check worth making is whether the leaning has become one-directional in your household. The one worth checking is whether anybody has thanked you lately, and what you conclude from the answer.

Tiger

Six wants presence rather than protection, which is the harder half for you. Stay in the room without taking charge of it. Your company is the offering today, not your capability. Sitting still with somebody is the version of protection they actually asked for.

Rabbit

Your register exactly. A 6 is home, care and being relied upon, and it asks you to accept as well as give. Care that only flows outward empties faster than you think. Care returned is not a debt, and refusing it is its own small unkindness.

Dragon

Generous and domestic rather than admired. Give the version of yourself nobody will see giving, which for you is genuinely the harder gift and the one that lasts. Nobody is scoring the private version, which is exactly what makes it worth giving.

Snake

Service is where you live and a 6 asks that it include you. Do one thing today at the standard you apply to everyone else, and notice how rarely that happens. Warmth offered without a purpose behind it is unfamiliar and worth practising.

Horse

Harmony is the number's whole subject and yours. The trap is a peace bought by never saying what you want, and a 6 makes that purchase easy and expensive. Company at a slower pace is not time lost, whatever it feels like at four o'clock.

Goat

Six asks for tenderness without intensity, which is an unfamiliar setting. Be gentle about something small and let it stay small rather than making it mean anything. Ask for what you need once, plainly, rather than hoping it is noticed.

Monkey

Domesticity feels like a smaller life to you and today it is not. Stay in. Try it properly for one evening before dismissing it on the evidence of never having done it.

Rooster

Responsibility arrives easily and leaves badly. Under a 6 the useful act is putting something down rather than taking one more on because you are the person who can. Look after yourself to the standard you hold everybody else to, for once.

Dog

Your loyalty and this number are the same instinct. Just direct it at somebody specific rather than at the general duty, and let the care be personal rather than principled. Put one thing down. Nothing you are guarding comes apart in an evening.

Pig

Your empathy runs freely, which is the hazard as much as the gift. Give with a boundary decided in advance, or the week ends with you emptied and unable to say quite how.
