Dream Reading

Tell it what you dreamt, then choose whose tradition reads it: Thai, Chinese, Islamic or Hindu. Four of the oldest systems for reading a dream, and four different answers to the same night.

How it works

A reading of your own in four steps, and most of them are one answer.

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.
4. Come backThe sky moves. Most of these say something different tomorrow.

Real insights, for a more meaningful you

Ancient wisdom for modern life.

HalfKnown works the old methods properly: the actual positions of the planets at the minute you were born, the cards you actually drew, the creases actually on your hand. Nothing is a prediction, and every page says so.

Your horoscope for today, worked out from where the planets are this minute. Free, no account, about a minute.

Open beta. Every reading is free while the site is new, including the ones that will be paid later. Nothing here asks for a card.

Two people who both want to be in charge, with completely different ideas about how long anything should take.

How it actually goes

Both of you are cardinal signs, so you both start things, and that is where the agreement ends. Aries starts now and finds out later. Capricorn starts when the ground has been checked and then does not stop. At ninety degrees that reads to each of you as the other being either reckless or obstructive.

Where it works is formidable. Aries supplies the move and Capricorn supplies the structure that makes it survive contact with reality, and a pair like that gets things done that neither could alone. Where it fails is respect: Capricorn quietly deciding Aries is not serious, Aries quietly deciding Capricorn is a brake. Both conclusions arrive early and both are hard to shift.

What each of you brings

Aries brings urgency and the willingness to be wrong in public. Capricorn will not say so, but a plan that would have taken two years gets started this month because you are in it.

Capricorn brings the part that holds up. You will finish what gets started, you will carry the unglamorous half, and you are the reason anything Aries began is still standing in five years.

The argument you will have

About timing, always, however it starts. Aries wants it decided today and Capricorn wants it decided properly, and both of you will treat the other's preference as a character fault rather than a method. Put a date on the decision. It ends the argument because it gives you each half of what you wanted.

If you are already in it

If you are already in this one, split the work by stage rather than by subject. Aries opens, Capricorn closes, agreed in advance and not renegotiated every time. Two cardinal signs competing for the same half of every job is the whole friction here, and it is entirely avoidable.

What the two charts actually say

Ninety degrees, a square. This is the angle that rubs, and it rubs permanently. Fire and Earth. One of you supplies the heat and the other supplies the ground it burns on, and each of you privately thinks the other needs more of what they have.

Sun in Aries about 20 March to 19 April, in Capricorn about 21 December to 19 January. Both edges move with the year.
