Born on Monday: the calm friend who notices when you go quiet

What people born on Monday are like

People born on Monday are often described as soft-spoken and kind. They're the friend who remembers how you take your coffee and notices when you've gone quiet. In a crisis they stay calm. They're good with people, they have an easy charm, and they care a lot about keeping the peace.

Because they feel things deeply, Monday's people can be moody, and they may say yes when they mean maybe. Hold this picture up to yourself, keep what fits and leave the rest.

The colour of your day

Thai children learn a colour for each day of the week along with the day names. You see it in daily life too: some people dress in the day's colour, and a gift in the colour of someone's birth day shows you remembered.

Monday's colour is yellow, soft and warm, a little like the moonlight the day is named after.

Take it as everyday culture, something pleasant to notice. It won't change how your week goes.

A small thing to try this week

• Say no to one small thing you don't have room for. Be kind about it and skip the long explanation.
• Message someone who's been on your mind, just to tell them so.
• Put something yellow where you'll see it in the morning. A lemon on the table counts.

In Slipmatic

Night Market Neon reads Thai astrology by the day you were born. When you pull the cord the tubes flicker on, and the machine prints a slip for Monday's people with your day's colour on it.

Only the day of the week leaves your phone; your birth date stays on it. The machine's general reading for the day is there for everyone, and with Slipmatic Plus the printer has your own reading ready each morning.

For entertainment and reflection.
