Aries

Opposition

Directly across the wheel: somebody else's agenda meets yours head-on. Meeting it is the aspect; winning it is not.

Love
Somebody wants the opposite and means it. Hear them out before answering.
Money & career
A negotiation rather than a decision. State your number and stop.
Health & energy
Push and rest are pulling opposite ways. Choose, do not oscillate.

Taurus

Quincunx

An awkward angle. Something does not sit right and cannot be resolved by waiting it out, which is your usual method.

Love
Something is uneven and cannot be levelled today. Leave it uneven.
Money & career
A figure that will not reconcile. Waiting will not resolve it either.
Health & energy
Something is off and rest is the only useful response.

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

Square

The hard angle. Something outside presses on something private, and defending harder makes the pressure worse. Friction is information rather than a verdict.

Love
Something outside presses on something private. Defending harder makes it worse.
Money & career
An obstacle to the household plan. Revise the timing. Change the route, keep the goal.
Health & energy
Tension has settled in the body. Move gently rather than pushing.

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

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

Conjunction

The driver stands in your own sign. Every consideration weighs equally today, which is precisely why nothing decides itself. Choose one.

Love
Everything weighs equally, which is why nothing decides itself. Choose one.
Money & career
Decide for yourself today rather than for the balance of the room.
Health & energy
Everything is amplified, including indecision. Pick and move. Decide the stopping point in advance.

Scorpio

Semisextile

One sign along. A small shift under the surface. You will notice it before it becomes visible to anyone else.

Love
A small shift under the surface, noticed by you before anybody else.
Money & career
One figure needs correcting quietly rather than a whole renegotiation.
Health & energy
Adjust one habit rather than overhauling in secret. One change, held for a week.

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

Square

The hard angle. The plan meets something that will not move for it. Revise the schedule rather than the ambition.

Love
The plan meets something immovable. Revise the schedule, not the ambition.
Money & career
An obstacle that will not yield to more work. Change the route.
Health & energy
Tension from sustained effort. Stop before you are depleted. Discharge it rather than carrying it home.

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

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 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.
