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 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.
