Sagittarius Will Stay Home on Sunday, Scorpio Will Admit to Crying at the Film

Aries

Aries, who always tosses their change into a jar on the shelf without looking, will empty the jar onto the living-room table today. They'll count the coins in piles of ten for a full forty minutes, without getting up once. It will come to 2,340 denars - enough for a new bicycle tyre. The bicycle, too, has been waiting since spring.

Taurus

Tonight Taurus shouldn't wait for Monday with a knot in their stomach. Open the diary and write down the three things that have to be done by Wednesday - just three, not twelve. Leave the list under the phone and finish the series without thinking about the office. Tomorrow at nine they'll know where to start, and that's half the job.

Gemini

On a walk along the Vardar today Gemini will take their partner's hand, even though it isn't an anniversary or any other occasion. The partner will look at them, then at the river, then back at them. Neither will say a word until the Stone Bridge. There'll be no need.

Cancer

Today, after three weeks of putting it off, Cancer will tell their mother they won't be coming to the village for New Year. They'll say it at the start of the conversation, not at the end when they're already saying goodbye. Their mother will be silent for five seconds. Then she'll ask whether they'll at least come for Christmas - and Cancer will say yes, and really mean it.

Leo

Leo, who since August has only drunk cold water on the left side of their mouth, will finally book a dentist appointment today, online. The free slot will be Tuesday at half past seven in the morning. They'll confirm it with the face of someone looking for a way to cancel. They won't cancel.

Virgo

The birthday party Virgo answered "maybe I'll come" to is tonight, and Virgo will go. Instead of a present wrapped with perfect corners, they'll bring a bottle of wine from the corner shop. They'll stay to the end and wash glasses with the host in the kitchen. There, between the suds and the full rubbish bags, the best conversation of the night will happen.

Libra

Today Libra won't decide anything. What's for dinner will be decided by the fridge.

Scorpio

Tonight Scorpio will admit to their partner that the film their partner cried at last month made them cry too. Back then Scorpio left the room "to check the door was locked". The partner will laugh all evening, and Scorpio will let them - which is a bigger feat than the confession itself.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius, who escapes somewhere every Sunday - to the mountains, to a lake, to friends in another town - will stay home today and fix the two wardrobe doors that each hang on a single hinge. It will take a screwdriver, two hours and one video with bad sound. The doors will finally close without being propped shut with a knee. They'll like the quiet in the flat more than they'll admit.

Capricorn

Today Capricorn will set off to Matka with a group that walks faster than they do. Instead of chasing them, they'll stop at every bend of the path and look at the water. The friends will wait for them at the monastery, tea already drunk. They'll arrive last - and be the only one who knows how many ducks there are in the canyon.

Aquarius

Today Aquarius will call their roommate from the student dorm, whom they last spoke to at someone's wedding five years ago. Why today of all days? Even they won't be able to say. They'll laugh at the old stories, with pauses in all the right places, as if not a single day had passed.

Pisces

Pisces will iron Monday's shirt this very afternoon, instead of tomorrow at seven with the iron in one hand and coffee in the other. They'll pack lunch in a box and leave the keys on the shelf by the door. Tomorrow they'll get to work ten minutes early. And they won't know what to do with them.
