The sky Moon in Libra, then Scorpio from 10.39pm · waning crescent, 3% lit · Mercury retrograde, Venus retrograde, Saturn retrograde. New moon on Monday at 7.02am, two days away.
Five kilometres and a bacon roll
Your Saturday was planned by Wednesday, and other people’s plans may have arrived since. Keep the early hours for yourself, give the afternoon away cheerfully, and the two need not collide.

Love
If a friend is moving flat this weekend, you will be first at the van and the last one still lifting. Good. Carry the heavy end, then hand over the unpacking. Where the mugs go in their new kitchen is their decision, however wrong it looks to you.

Work and money
A Saturday shift beside a new starter may test you by ten: slow at the till, unsure of the codes, apologising. Show them once, properly, then stand back. You learned fast because someone let you get it wrong. Not working? Leave the inbox shut until Monday. Nothing in there is on fire.
☘︎
Body and mind
Go to a parkrun at nine, or run the same distance round your own streets if there is none nearby. Five kilometres in the cold, someone just ahead to catch, then a bacon roll. You are at your most generous after beating a stranger in a club vest.
If you read nothing else
Run early, lift heavy, and let them choose where the mugs go
The sky Moon in Scorpio all day · waning crescent, 1% lit · Mercury retrograde, Venus retrograde, Saturn retrograde. New moon tomorrow, at 7.02am.
Answers that come sideways
Quiet Sundays test you more than busy ones. The Moon is almost dark, a day from new, and any push you give things may meet soft resistance. Save it. Monday has more give.

Love
Someone close, your partner or the friend you are spending Sunday with, may go quiet today, and you will want the reason now. Wait. Ask in the car on the way home, eyes on the road. Answers come easier side by side. Pushing at a closed door is a sport you usually lose.
✦︎
Work and money
You may have an application, a quote or a proposal sitting half done since last weekend. Finish it today, every box, and schedule it to send at eight tomorrow morning. Sunday is a poor day to press send and a good day to be finished. Very few people read a Sunday email properly anyway.

Body and mind
Fidgety legs and a still house make a poor pair. Find a skipping rope, or the steep steps at the end of the road, and do ten hard minutes before dark. Short, ugly, effective. You sleep better after a fight, even one with a staircase.

Answers that come sideways. Quiet Sundays test you more than busy ones.
Aries does not wait for things to happen; it goes out and starts them. Ruled by Mars, it has the energy of the first minute: the idea arrives at breakfast and has been set in motion before lunch. That impatience can wear people out, and it is also why an Aries is the person you want in the room when something has to be decided today rather than next Thursday.
The weakness is stamina, not courage. Aries begins ten things with the same appetite and finishes three of them, and learns slowly that the finish counts as much as the starting pistol. It says what it thinks, often before it has finished thinking it, and forgives about as fast as it flares up.
Aries in love
Aries likes the chase and makes no secret of it. It needs a relationship that moves: plans, honest rows, quick reconciliations. Routine dims it. Straightforward affection, offered without a speech, disarms it completely.
Aries at work
Give an Aries a vague brief and a deadline and something will exist by Friday. It has no patience for meetings that end without a decision, and it does its best work where you are allowed to back yourself and be measured on the result.
Who Aries gets on with
Leo: Two fires that understand each other without discussing it.
Sagittarius: The same appetite for movement and the same bluntness.
Gemini: Gemini keeps up and brings the lightness Aries forgets to pack.
With Cancer or Capricorn the tempo is different. One wants gentleness, the other wants patience, and Aries has to learn both the long way round.
