The general horoscope

The Moon arrives in Virgo this morning, thin as a paring knife, and the house suddenly notices its own dust. This is the day after the party, and the Moon wants the glasses washed and put back in the right cupboard, which is not the cupboard you used. Mars and Uranus reach their exact sextile, the tightest aspect of the day, and it gives every practical task a small electric charge: the fix that works first time, the tool you did not know you had, the shortcut that is actually shorter. Use it on something real. A drawer, a spreadsheet, the conversation about the dishwasher. Mercury and Venus are still walking together through Scorpio, so the talk underneath the tidying is about who left what, and when. Say it plainly and then dry your hands. The frog has noticed that most arguments about cupboards are not about cupboards. She has also noticed that the cupboards still need doing.
