1. ChoosePick a reading. Ten of them run all the way through for nothing.
2. Add detailsA birth date, a question, or a photograph of your hand. Never an account.
3. Get your readingComputed in this page, in a few seconds, from the real sky.

Aries card of the day
For entertainment
A couple of details.
Which one are you?
Your Sun sign, the one everybody means. If your birthday is on the edge of two, pick the one you were told.
Which two signs?
No birth time needed for this one. If you know the exact moment for both of you, the full synastry reading is far more specific.
The moment, as exactly as you have it.
Filled in from your last reading. Change anything if this one is for somebody else.

An hour out can move the Rising sign. Midday is a fine guess.
And where.
Filled in from the date and the city, daylight saving included. Change it if you know better.

Your hand is measured. The reading is the distance between it and somebody else's, which means we need one more hand.

Before you hold your hand up
Thirty seconds of setup makes the difference between a reading and a guess.
Use the hand you write with. Hold it flat and relaxed with the fingers slightly apart, square to the camera, with the light in front of you rather than behind.

The card is the same for everyone today. What changes is that you will try to answer it at speed.
The card is not different for Aries
Today's card is the same one everybody else is looking at. It is drawn from the date, not from your sign, and it changes at midnight UTC.
What a sign changes is not the card. It is what you do when a card asks you for something you are not naturally good at giving. Underneath the twenty two pictures there are about seven demands, and Aries meets each of them in a particular way.
What each demand asks of Aries
When the card asks you to start: You will start this today, which is not the problem. The problem is that you will start it loudly enough to make going back embarrassing, and then keep going for that reason rather than the original one. Start quietly and you keep the option to change your mind.
When the card asks you to say it: You say things fast and then defend them, which is not the same as being honest. The thing you actually have not said is the one that would cost you ground in an argument. That is the one today is about.
When the card asks you to take it: Being given something puts you in debt, and you would rather earn it. Take it anyway. Refusing help is not independence, it is just a slower route to the same place with more of your own skin on it.
When the card asks you to let go: You will treat letting go as a defeat and try to find a version where you let go on purpose, decisively, as a move. There is no such version. Something is over and your speed cannot outrun that.
When the card asks you to choose: You choose quickly to end the discomfort of not having chosen. Sit in it one more hour. The fast answer and the right answer are the same about half the time, which is worse odds than you think.
When the card asks you to wait: Waiting reads to you as doing nothing, so you will invent a task to avoid it. The task will cost you the thing waiting would have given you. Nothing is required of you today and that is the instruction, not a gap in it.
When the card asks you to look: You would rather confront a person than a fact. The fact does not fight back and gives you nothing to win, which is exactly why you keep finding someone to argue with instead.
Questions
Does Aries get a different card from the other signs?
No. One card a day, the same for all twelve. This page is about where Aries tends to get stuck when a card asks for a particular thing, which is the part that genuinely differs.
When does the card change?
At midnight UTC. Everybody moves to the new card at the same moment, wherever they are.
Do I need my birth details for this?
No. This needs nothing from you at all. The readings that use your birth details are the chart ones.
Where can I ask about something specific?
Ask the Cards takes a question and draws against it, and keeps the thread as you ask again. That is the one that responds to you rather than to the date.
