Aries

Square

The hard angle, and the friction is with your own momentum. Something obstructs and pushing harder is precisely the wrong response.

Love
Friction with somebody, and charging at it is exactly wrong.
Money & career
An obstacle to the plan. Revise the route rather than the ambition.
Health & energy
Tension needs burning off physically before it comes out as temper.

Taurus

Sextile

An easy angle. Something arrives without effort, which you will distrust. Take it anyway. An open door still has to be walked through.

Love
Something arrives without effort and you will distrust it. Take it.
Money & career
An easy opportunity, genuinely. It still needs you to say yes.
Health & energy
Movement is easy today, which is rare. Use it before it passes.

Gemini

Semisextile

One sign along. A minor adjustment, easily missed because it is not interesting. Make it anyway. Small corrections are cheap now and expensive later.

Love
A small correction to the phrasing, not to the position.
Money & career
One number needs fixing. It is not interesting and do it anyway.
Health & energy
Adjust one habit rather than redesigning the week. One change, held for a week.

Cancer

Conjunction

The driver is in your own sign, which turns the volume up on everything you feel. Real, and not proportionate. Wait before acting on it.

Love
Everything you feel runs loud. Real, and not proportionate. Wait before acting.
Money & career
Decide for yourself today rather than for the household. Your own call, your own risk.
Health & energy
Feeling is amplified and so is fatigue. Protect the evening.

Leo

Semisextile

One sign along. A small correction to how you are coming across, which is easier now than after. Small corrections are cheap now and expensive later.

Love
A small correction to how you come across, easier now than later.
Money & career
One figure needs adjusting rather than the whole ambition. Correct it before it compounds.
Health & energy
Change one habit rather than announcing a new regime. One change, held for a week.

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

Square

The hard angle. Two things you have been balancing will not both hold. Something has to give and it will not be fair.

Love
Two things you were balancing will not both hold. Something gives.
Money & career
An obstacle where the fair option is not available. Choose anyway.
Health & energy
Tension from holding two positions. Put one down. Discharge it rather than carrying it home.

Scorpio

Trine

The flowing angle. Depth and progress in the same direction, which is rare and worth using on the difficult thing.

Love
Depth and warmth in the same direction. Say the true thing.
Money & career
Conditions favour the long position. Commit today. Ease is not significance; aim it.
Health & energy
Energy is deep and steady. Use it on the demanding thing.

Sagittarius

Quincunx

An awkward angle. Something does not fit the picture and shrinking the picture is not the answer. Adjustment without resolution is the whole shape of it.

Love
Something does not fit the picture and shrinking it is not the answer.
Money & career
A figure that will not reconcile. Leave it open. Leave it open rather than forcing it.
Health & energy
Something is off and no amount of movement fixes it. Rest.

Capricorn

Opposition

Across the wheel. Somebody wants it sooner or looser than you do. Meet the timeline, hold the standard. The other position is a real one, held by somebody.

Love
Somebody wants it sooner or looser. Meet the timeline, hold the standard.
Money & career
A negotiation rather than a decision. State your terms once.
Health & energy
Effort and recovery are opposed. Take the recovery deliberately. Choose rather than splitting the difference.

Aquarius

Quincunx

An awkward angle. Something cannot be made consistent today. Let it be inconsistent and useful. Adjustment without resolution is the whole shape of it.

Love
Something cannot be made consistent. Let it be inconsistent and useful.
Money & career
A figure that will not reconcile. Leave it rather than modelling it.
Health & energy
Something is off and no framework fixes it. Rest. Rest is the answer, not effort.

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 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.
