The twelve signs on Wednesday 9 September

  • Aries 21 March to 19 April

    Finish it before the light goes. Wednesday hands you something dull and nearly complete, and the honest thing is to complete it.

  • Taurus 20 April to 20 May

    Nothing has to be decided before supper. Slow suits you today, and the day is arranged for it.

  • Gemini 21 May to 20 June

    One conversation, not four. Half of what is on your list today is other people’s business and you have been carrying it as though it were yours.

  • Cancer 21 June to 22 July

    Something for the freezer. You have been feeding everybody but yourself this week, in the ordinary sense and the other one.

  • Leo 23 July to 22 August

    The last of the warm light. The Moon leaves your sign this evening and the week gets quieter after that, which is not a loss.

  • Virgo 23 August to 22 September

    The evening finally belongs to you. Your season is at its best after dark tonight: the Moon arrives in your sign just after half past eight, and a fortnight of small unfinished jobs stops feeling like a personal failing.

  • Libra 23 September to 22 October

    Say the awkward half. Venus in your sign has been making everything look manageable, which is how a small resentment gets to be a fortnight old.

  • Scorpio 23 October to 21 November

    The drawer you have not opened. The dark end of the lunar month suits you: this is a week for finishing and clearing rather than starting.

  • Sagittarius 22 November to 21 December

    The reading list you never open. There is a thing you keep saying you will do properly one day, and today is a surprisingly good day to do a quarter of it.

  • Capricorn 22 December to 19 January

    The ladder is still in the shed. You have a list of jobs that each need an hour and a second pair of hands, and you have been waiting to have both at once.

  • Aquarius 20 January to 18 February

    Mend the small broken thing. Something you use every day has been slightly broken for a month, and you have been routing round it rather than mending it.

  • Pisces 19 February to 20 March

    Take the washing out first. The washing has been in the machine since yesterday and the day feels a bit like that too.

Written for the day, not recycled

Every text is written the evening before for the day ahead, from that day's real sky: the sign the Moon is passing through, its phase, which planets are retrograde, when the Sun changes sign. The twelve signs get the same day and take it twelve different ways, which is the only interesting thing about a zodiac.

There is no sign-up, no lucky number and no reading of your palm. What you get is a daily horoscope for each star sign, tomorrow's as soon as it is written, a look at the week, and a portrait of each sign for when you want to know who you are dealing with.
