Aries

Aries will today find themselves in the middle of someone else's argument, with both sides addressing them as if they were the witness who will settle it. Do not settle it. The person who rules once in someone else's quarrel gets all their future quarrels on the table from then on, and none of their reconciliations.

Taurus

Taurus will realise today that for a week now they have not eaten at a table, but in their hand, on their feet, between two tasks. Sit down once today and eat slowly, even alone. The body is not asking for more food when a person is running - it is asking for twenty minutes in which something is done for one reason only.

Gemini

Gemini will today be in a conversation where they have nothing new to say, and the silence weighs heavier than saying something stupid. They will start telling a story they have already told these same people. Stop after the second sentence and admit you have told it before. A repeated story is not boring because it is old, but because the person next to you can see your head is somewhere else.

Cancer

Cancer will today be seized by the urge to return to a place from childhood - a street, a courtyard, a building that now looks smaller. Go, but do not look for anyone still living there. Places from the past are bearable only as long as you do not ask them to recognise you.

Leo

Leo will today learn something new in front of people who know them as someone who can do everything - a program, a machine, a job where they are a beginner for the fiftieth time. Do not make jokes at your own expense while you learn. A joke released in advance does not protect you from embarrassment, it only tells everyone else you were expecting it.

Virgo

Virgo will today be invited somewhere at the last minute, with no time to prepare and no idea who will be there. The first impulse will be to decline for exactly that reason. Go as you are. The best evenings in a person's life are rarely the ones they had three days to prepare for.

Libra

Libra will today hear someone take a dig at them half in jest, in front of others, in a tone that leaves no room to reply. Laughter around a table does not mean the remark landed harmlessly. Say privately, that evening, that you did not find it funny - because things swallowed out of politeness come back louder next time.

Scorpio

Scorpio will today be asked to keep something that belongs to someone else - a secret, a key, a matter that must not be mentioned. They will take it on as a heavier obligation than it needs to be. The person who confided in you today is not asking you to carry it like a stone; they are only asking that you never bring the subject up again.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius will today set off somewhere prepared, with a plan and an exact time, which for them is rarer than the journey itself. It will go well and it will feel dull. Not everything that goes smoothly is a sign you did less - sometimes it is the bill for all the trips you rescued in the final second.

Capricorn

Capricorn will today be asked whether they are tired, casually, without any real expectation. They will answer "I'm fine" for the fiftieth time this year. Tell the truth once, to one person, without explaining it afterwards. "I'm fine", given for years, does not spare others from worry - it teaches the person beside you to stop asking.

Aquarius

Aquarius will today watch someone else execute the thing they thought of two years ago and left inside their head. It will sting more than they want to show. Do not write to them and explain that you had it first. An idea does not belong to whoever thought of it, but to whoever held out long enough to finish it, and that account is not disputed with a comment.

Pisces

Pisces will today enjoy something everyone around them rates as bad - a song, a film, a thing with not one good word said about it. Do not change your mind because of that, and do not go looking for an argument to defend it with. Taste that needs the table's agreement to survive is not taste, it is a vote.
