Best day: 17 Saturday · 18 Sunday

Day to go easy on: 12 Monday · 13 Tuesday

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

In this area, no planet stays put for the whole period. It all comes down to the day: look at the curve.

Love

Venus is at a difficult angle to your sign. What you give and what comes back don't match up. Say things simply, without blame.

  • Venus · opposition

Work

Mercury is at a difficult angle to your sign. Messages cross, and what's read fast gets read wrong. Take thirty extra seconds per message.

  • Mercury · opposition

Energy

Mars is at a difficult angle to your sign. Everything moves too fast, and irritation rises over nothing. Slow down on purpose, one thing at a time.

  • Mars · square

Others

Jupiter rubs against your sign, for months. You give others too much, or expect too much from them, and disappointment follows. Promise half as much, and keep all of it.

  • Jupiter · square
  • in the background, for months

Mercury rubs against your sign these weeks. People talk without hearing each other, and one wrong word takes over. Rephrase instead of repeating louder.

  • Mercury · opposition

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.
