Gemini Will Climb Vodno Without Taking a Single Photo, Capricorn Will Have Tavče Gravče for Lunch at Four in the Afternoon

Aries

Aries will go to the cinema alone today, to the five o'clock screening, when the hall has more empty seats than people. Nobody will talk to them during the film and nobody will eat their popcorn. They'll stay until the last letter of the closing credits. Why did they ever wait for company for something you watch in the dark?

Taurus

Today Taurus should show their father how to make a video call, for the fifth time, without taking the phone out of his hands. It will take half an hour and patience they didn't even have at an exam. In the evening their father will call on his own - with the camera pointed at the ceiling. Taurus won't correct him, and will spend the whole conversation waving at the chandelier.

Gemini

Gemini will walk up Vodno today, all the way to the cross, and won't take a single photo. The phone will stay at the bottom of the backpack, on silent. At the top they'll sit for twenty minutes and watch the fog lie over the city. Down below they won't be able to prove to anyone that they were there - and won't even want to.

Cancer

Cancer, who has been weighing every change for months, will sit down at the hairdresser's today and say "cut it short". No pictures from the internet and no "just a little off the ends". They'll watch in the mirror as the locks fall and won't blink. On the way back they'll check their reflection in every shop window on the street.

Leo

Tonight Leo will hand the remote to their partner and sit through an entire documentary about mushrooms without a single comment. Halfway through they'll stop looking at their phone. By the end they'll know more about mushrooms than they ever wanted to - and will be the first to suggest going to the woods next Saturday.

Virgo

Virgo will stay in pyjamas until noon today, with uncombed hair and unanswered messages. The world will keep turning without their schedule.

Libra

Libra will sign up today for an adult swimming course at the city pool, Saturday at ten. The group will include a pensioner, a student and two more people pretending they're just improving their technique. Without a word, the instructor will hand them the kickboard. By spring Libra will let go of the kickboard.

Scorpio

Scorpio will sit down to play chess with the pensioners in the park today, after years of walking past their table. They'll lose three games in a row, to a man who plays without taking the cigarette out of his mouth. They won't ask for a rematch. They'll come back on Tuesday - with a book on openings under their arm.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius will help a friend move to the fourth floor today, in a building with no lift. Two of them will carry the fridge, and Sagittarius will count the stairs out loud. The pay will be one pizza and a promise that the friend will return the favour at the next move. Sagittarius will forget the promise before the pizza arrives.

Capricorn

Capricorn will leave home today without a watch and without a plan, something they haven't done since their student days. They'll wander through the Old Bazaar and stop in front of every shop selling copper coffee pots. They'll have tavče gravče for lunch at four in the afternoon, when there's nobody in the tavern except the waiter. They won't know what time it is - and for the first time it won't bother them.

Aquarius

Aquarius will turn up today at the Saturday clean-up of the yard in front of the building, which they've always "had other commitments" for until now. For two hours they'll rake leaves, shoulder to shoulder with the neighbour from the third floor they don't say hello to. At the end the building manager will bring out a bottle of rakija and plastic cups. "Cheers" will be the first thing the two of them ever say to each other.

Pisces

At the market today Pisces will buy twenty kilos of cabbage for pickling, following the recipe from their grandmother's little notebook, without asking anyone for advice. They'll haggle and get a discount they'll be retelling all week. They'll fill the barrel by evening, with hands that smell of salt. The cabbage will be sour exactly in time for Christmas.
