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.

Two signs that both used to answer to Mars. One of you fights in the open and one of you does not fight where you can be seen.

How it actually goes

Five signs apart, fire against water, cardinal against fixed, and a shared history: Mars ruled Scorpio before Pluto was found, which is why these two recognise something in each other that nobody else does.

The pull is immediate and the method is opposite. Aries says it now and is finished with it. Scorpio says nothing and is not finished with it for a year. Neither of you is cold and both of you will be accused of it by the other, which is one of the odder features of this pairing.

It works when Scorpio accepts that Aries' anger is weather rather than verdict, and Aries accepts that Scorpio's silence is not punishment. Neither of those is obvious and both have to be learned the hard way.

What each of you brings

Aries brings the clean fight. Nothing festers with you, and for a Scorpio who stores everything, somebody who simply has it out and then stops is a revelation.

Scorpio brings the follow-through and the loyalty underneath it. Aries bolts at the first real difficulty, and you are the one who is still there, which an Aries needs far more than they will say.

The argument you will have

Aries explodes and recovers in an hour. Scorpio absorbs it and recovers in a fortnight. By then Aries has not only forgotten it, they have forgotten there was anything to forget, and the gap between those two states is where this pairing does its damage.

If you are already in it

If you are already in this one, Aries has to check in afterwards every single time, and Scorpio has to give an honest answer when asked. Neither of you does this instinctively. It is the whole repair and it takes a minute.

What the two charts actually say

A hundred and fifty degrees, the quincunx. No element in common, no mode in common, no natural bridge at all. Fire and Water, and the old books are blunt about this one: steam or nothing. You either change each other or you spend years carefully not touching.

Sun in Aries about 20 March to 19 April, in Scorpio about 22 October to 21 November. Both edges move with the year.

Your Two Charts is the reading for this one: with nothing shared on the Sun, it is all in the rest. Aries and Scorpio have their own pages.
