The frog's general horoscope

Wednesday has a rare shape. The young Moon in Sagittarius, Mars in Leo and Saturn in Aries stand at three corners of a triangle, all in fire, and the Sun is less than a degree from its sextile with Jupiter. In a kitchen this looks like a lit stove, a pan of the right size and onions someone already chopped. It is a day for asking. Not for the stars, just for the reasonable thing you have been rehearsing since August: the afternoon off, the borrowed ladder, the second opinion. Warmth is cheap today and people spend it freely. There is one draft in the room. The Moon opposes Uranus, so plans shift late and a friend cancels with an emoji. Let it pass through. The fire does not need your guest list to burn. Ask early, ask plainly, and accept yes the first time it is offered. A no, the frog has found, is easy to survive. It is the yes they keep arguing with.
