Best day: 12 Monday · 13 Tuesday

Day to go easy on: 17 Saturday · 18 Sunday

Each point is the day's mark, the same as on the daily page: most of the ups and downs come from the Moon, which changes sign every two days.

What holds all week

These planets don't change sign for the whole period: Sun in Libra, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Leo, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Aries.

You

The Sun is at a difficult angle to your sign. Confidence wobbles, and your eyes drift to what others are doing. Do one thing for yourself, with no audience.

  • Sun · square

Saturn is at a difficult angle to your sign for a long while. Doubt comes back more often, and so does self-criticism. Write down what's done, the list is longer than you think.

Love

Venus is at a good angle to your sign. Bonds feel softer, and people find you easy to love. Make a small gesture, just because. It'll land better than usual.

  • Venus · trine

Work

Saturn rubs against your sign, for the long haul. Efforts pay off slowly, and deadlines stretch. Break the big task into small steps.

  • Saturn · square
  • in the background, for months

Mercury is at a good angle to your sign. Conversations run smoothly, and your explanations land the first time. Ask the question you've been avoiding.

  • Mercury · trine

The Sun is at a difficult angle to your sign. What you show gets little response, and recognition is slow to come. Work on what doesn't show.

  • Sun · square

Energy

The Sun is at a difficult angle to your sign. Everything costs a bit more than usual, and drive doesn't come on its own. One thing finished today is enough.

  • Sun · square

Others

Mercury is at a good angle to your sign. People get you fast, even by text, and replies hit the mark. Answer your waiting messages; it takes ten minutes.

  • Mercury · trine

Dates to remember

No dates to remember in this period: no New or Full Moon, no sign change, no planet changing direction.

What about you?

This page applies to everyone who shares this sign. Your own sky today, calculated from your whole chart (your Moon, your Ascendant, your houses), is more accurate.

How it's scored

Each day gets its mark the same way as on the daily page, at noon, London time. “What holds all week” means the planets that stay in the same sign from Monday to Sunday: they get a single mark, midweek, worked out the same way as each day, but without the Moon. The dates to remember are calculated to the minute: new and full moons, planets entering a sign, planets that start moving backwards or move forward again.

No single number here sums up the period: an average would flatten the highs and lows, and they're the useful part.

A sign is a twelfth of humanity: this score holds for everyone who shares it. Your own daily sky, calculated on your whole chart, is more accurate.
