Boots resoled before the rain
Autumn arrives whether or not anybody has prepared for it, and you are the one who quietly prepares. One dull, physical, seasonal job today buys you a comfortable October: the boots resoled, the boiler booked, the heavy coat found before the week it is needed.
Love
Somebody has been telling you the same story in slightly different words for a fortnight, which usually means the real one has not been said yet. You do not have to solve it. Ask a second question instead of offering a solution, and wait. The third sentence is generally the true one.
Work and money
Money behaves better when it is looked at, and you have been looking at everything else. Not the whole picture today. One number: what the next three months actually cost to run. Somebody may also want a decision from you by Friday, and saying that you will answer on Friday is not the same as being slow.
Body and mind
Sleep has been fine and the mornings have been heavy, which points at the evening rather than the night. Something on your feet after supper, even a slow lap of streets you never usually walk down, and tomorrow’s alarm sounds less like a personal insult.

One number today: what the next three months actually cost

An evening nobody is expecting
Friday evening has a habit of belonging to other people, and yours has been promised away for weeks. Keep this one. Not out of grumpiness, out of arithmetic: you need one evening a week that nobody is expecting anything from.
Love
A plan may appear at half past five involving a train and a crowd. You are allowed to say you would rather cook and have them come to you. The people fond of you would genuinely rather sit in your kitchen than queue for a table. You keep forgetting this, and they keep not saying it.
Work and money
One task on your list has been there long enough to have developed a personality, and it is honestly not urgent. Take it off. Move it to next month’s list and stop reading it every morning at nine. What remains is small enough to finish before you leave.
Body and mind
Something warm and slow tonight: a proper bath, the long kind you have not run since the spring. Your back has been carrying the whole week and it will not be talked out of it. Heat, then bed at a civilised hour.

Keep this evening; the others are already spoken for
