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 3 is talk, invention and scatter. You will see three opportunities and want to keep all of them quiet until you know which is best. Say one out loud today. The Rat's instinct to hold information is not always the profitable one.
Ox
Three asks for expression rather than production, which does not obviously pay. Make something with no return attached. You will find the pleasure unfamiliar and the result better than the things you set out to be useful.
Tiger
Your boldness plus a 3 is charisma, and charisma without follow-through is a reputation problem by Friday. Say the thing, enjoy the room, and write down one commitment before you leave it. The room will remember how you left it more than what you said in it.
Rabbit
A 3 rewards saying the thing imperfectly to somebody who will hear it. Tact is your instrument and today it is in the way. Be less careful and more direct, once, and see that nothing breaks.
Dragon
Your number in temperament. Delight, colour and being enjoyed. The caution is that a 3 finishes nothing on its own, so decide now what exists by the evening besides a good afternoon. One finished thing justifies the whole of it.
Snake
Three is unstructured on purpose and you will want to correct that immediately. Leave the work rough. Precision applied now removes exactly the quality the number was offering. Say it before you have perfected it, since the perfected version usually never gets said.
Horse
This is your weather and the day will move fast. Pick the single conversation you want to complete, because a 3 will otherwise give you nine that are all interesting and none that are finished.
Goat
A 3 asks for lightness, which is not your default setting. Say something without weighing what it discloses. Not every piece of information you hand over becomes leverage against you. Make the thing rather than describing what it might be, and let it be imperfect.
Monkey
Your number outright: range, wit and improvisation. The only useful discipline is refusing the third good idea. Two carried properly beats five described brilliantly. Two ideas carried properly are worth more than five described brilliantly.
Rooster
Ideas will arrive faster than you can order them, and your instinct is to build the taxonomy first. Write them down badly. The framework can be assembled tomorrow from notes that exist rather than from ones you lost.
Dog
A 3 asks you to be unproductive on purpose, which reads to you as neglect. It is not. An afternoon spent making something with no duty attached repairs more than a week of steady service.
Pig
Your imagination has a clear channel today and a short one. Get one thing into a form somebody else can see before the mood moves on, because it will move on.
