Smiling is not allowed in the booth

A quick look at your passport on Monday, just to dream a little, shows that it ran out in March. January’s trip is still on, so the week becomes a small-print exercise you cannot wave away. Monday is also for the photo booth, where your natural expression may be rejected twice for being cheerful. Tuesday is for the form. On Thursday, check every date against the airline’s rules. By the weekend, the only thing left to do is wait, which you hate.

Love

Whoever is going with you on this trip would probably like to know the passport situation. Tell them on Tuesday, as a funny story, before they find out as a frightening one. If you are travelling alone, ask the friend with the spreadsheet to check your dates; they will enjoy it, and you will not have to pretend to. Buy them a pint for the trouble.

Work and money

A plan for next year lands on your desk on Wednesday, twelve pages of it, and you can see the hole on page three. Go and say so, gently, to the person who wrote it, before the meeting and not during it. You are probably right, and you are certainly early. This week, try being right in a smaller room.

Body and mind

Waiting is a poor use of all that energy. Take it outdoors on Saturday: a long cycle, a hill, a muddy lap of somewhere you have not been. You may sleep badly on the night you post the form, so get up and read a guidebook. Planning a trip you have not yet got papers for is a perfectly good way to calm down.

The day to watch

Tuesday, for filling in the form with an unsmiling photograph attached

Next week, 9 to 15 November

Melbourne at seven in the morning

Six years after moving to Melbourne, your oldest friend sends a message on Monday night: they are thinking of coming home, and want to know whether you think they are mad. The Moon moves into your sign on Tuesday morning, which will not make you any less blunt. Hold your answer until you have heard everything. Calls on Tuesday and Wednesday, at hours that suit neither of you. On Thursday, say what you think in one go. By Sunday the decision is theirs, and so is the flight.

Love

What your friend needs is not a pep talk but the truth: what home is like now, the rents, the weather, who has moved away. Tell it straight and tell it kindly, and say once, clearly, that you would love to have them back. Take the early calls in the kitchen with the door shut, so only one person in the house is awake at six.

Work and money

Three volunteer lists go round on Wednesday: the Christmas raffle, the new starters’ lunch, the working group on the website. You may want all three; on paper, all three sound fun. Choose one and do it properly. Say no to the other two before Friday, cheerfully, so that your December is not spent being enthusiastic in three places at once.

Body and mind

Calls across an eleven-hour gap can wreck your sleep before you notice. Agree a slot with your friend that suits at least one of you, early evening yours, early morning theirs, and keep to it. On Saturday, get out of town: a long walk on the downs or by a river, somewhere with a horizon, so the conversation has room to settle.

The day to watch

Thursday, for the straight answer, given once and kindly
