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 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.
