Aries

Trine

The flowing angle. Energy moves your way with no resistance, so the only question worth asking is whether you have aimed it.

Love
Warmth flows without a fight for once. Say out loud that you noticed.
Money & career
Conditions favour you. Spend the ease on the thing that needed both.
Health & energy
Energy is abundant, which is when you overreach. Pace 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

Sextile

An easy angle, and information flows. The right conversation happens without your engineering it. An open door still has to be walked through.

Love
The right conversation happens without your engineering it. Let it.
Money & career
An opening arrives sideways, through somebody you were not working.
Health & energy
Movement comes easily. Take the walk rather than reading about it.

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

Conjunction

The driver stands in your own sign. You are visible today whether or not you intended it, so make what is seen worth seeing.

Love
You are visible whether or not you intended it. Make it worth seeing.
Money & career
Back your own venture today rather than joining somebody else's.
Health & energy
Everything is amplified, including the exertion. Pace it. Decide the stopping point in advance.

Virgo

Semisextile

One sign along. A small correction, genuinely worth making, which is the kind you often skip as trivial. Small corrections are cheap now and expensive later.

Love
A small correction genuinely worth making, which you often skip as trivial.
Money & career
One figure needs fixing. It is dull and it matters.
Health & energy
Adjust one habit rather than optimising the whole system. One change, held for a week.

Libra

Sextile

An easy angle. Agreement is available without your brokering it. Accept it rather than improving on it. An open door still has to be walked through.

Love
Agreement is available without your brokering it. Accept it as it is.
Money & career
An easy opportunity. It will not wait for you to weigh it.
Health & energy
Movement comes easily. Take it without scheduling it. Take it while it is easy.

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

Trine

The flowing angle, and it is your weather entirely. Movement, opportunity and range in one direction. Ease is not the same as significance; aim it.

Love
Warmth and range agree. Enjoy the company without promising the future.
Money & career
Conditions favour the ambitious move. Make it today. Ease is not significance; aim it.
Health & energy
Energy is abundant. Use it before it becomes restlessness. Spend it on the thing that needed both.

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

Opposition

Across the wheel. Somebody argues the traditional case, competently. Answer the argument rather than the tradition. The other position is a real one, held by somebody.

Love
Somebody argues the traditional case competently. Answer it, not the tradition.
Money & career
A negotiation where principle does not pay. Name the number.
Health & energy
Stimulation and rest oppose each other. Choose rest. Choose rather than splitting the difference.

Pisces

Quincunx

An awkward angle. Something is unclear and will stay unclear. Decide provisionally rather than waiting for certainty. Adjustment without resolution is the whole shape of it.

Love
Something is unclear and will stay unclear. Decide provisionally. Adjustment without resolution is the shape of it.
Money & career
A figure that will not reconcile. Note it and stop worrying it.
Health & energy
Something is off and rest is the whole answer. Rest is the answer, not effort.

For your Chinese animal

The same reading, taken through each animal of the Chinese zodiac.

Rat

A 7 asks you to stop gathering and start understanding, which are different activities you have been treating as one. Close the sources. What you already know about this situation is sufficient, and the missing piece is thinking rather than more input.

Ox

Stillness comes naturally and solitude does not always follow it. A 7 wants you genuinely alone rather than quietly present while others work. Take the hours properly, without leaving yourself available at the edge of them.

Tiger

Withdrawal is the opposite of every instinct you have, and it is the whole assignment. The answer you have been charging at arrives once you stop charging. Cancel one thing today and sit with the problem instead.

Rabbit

A 7 gives you permission for the retreat you would have taken anyway, and asks you to use it rather than simply enjoy it. Come back with something worked out, not just rested.

Dragon

No audience, no applause, only understanding. This is among the harder numbers for you and among the more useful. What you work out privately today is worth more than the version you would have performed.

Snake

Your number completely. Perception with the noise removed. The only caution is that a 7 wants understanding rather than advantage, so resist converting the insight straight into a position. Your reading of it is already good. Acting on it is the missing half.

Horse

Stillness reads as confinement to you. Go somewhere alone rather than staying somewhere alone; the movement can be part of it, provided the company is not. Walk somewhere far and alone, and let the answer arrive without being chased.

Goat

A 7 asks you to consult nobody, which removes your usual method entirely. Sit with your own read of it. The view assembled from everyone else's opinions is an average rather than an answer.

Monkey

Boredom is the hazard, since a 7 produces nothing you can show anybody. Give yourself a problem worth the solitude, or you will invent one in somebody else's business by mid-afternoon. Solitude with a problem in it, rather than solitude looking for one.

Rooster

Analysis without correction is the exercise. A 7 offers insight and you will want to turn it immediately into a list of things that should be different. Understand it first and leave the list for tomorrow.

Dog

You will feel the quiet as neglect of somebody. It is not. A 7 asks you to be off duty for a few hours, and nothing you are guarding will come apart in that time.

Pig

Permission for the solitude you usually feel guilty about taking. Use it, and bring one concrete thing back, because a whole day of drifting pleasantly leaves nothing behind. Come back with one concrete thing, or the day dissolves pleasantly into nothing.
