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.

One of you has already started and the other has not finished considering whether to.

How it actually goes

These two sit next to each other and share nothing: fire beside earth, cardinal beside fixed. Aries moves and Taurus holds, and the first year of this is mostly each of you being amazed at the other's speed in either direction.

It lasts more often than the textbooks suggest, because Taurus is the only sign slow enough not to be knocked over by an Aries and Aries is one of the few quick enough to be interesting to a Taurus for long. What breaks it is contempt rather than conflict: Aries calling Taurus lazy, Taurus calling Aries a child. Both land because both contain a grain of truth, and neither is recoverable in the moment.

What each of you brings

Aries brings the start. Nothing in a Taurus life changes without an outside force, and you are a reliable one, which is more welcome than it is ever admitted.

Taurus brings the finish and the floor. What Aries starts, you are the reason it still exists next year, and you do not need thanking for it, which is just as well.

The argument you will have

Pace. Aries wants a decision now and reads deliberation as obstruction. Taurus wants to sit with it and reads urgency as pressure. Neither of you is going to convert the other, so the only workable answer is a deadline agreed in advance, which gives Aries a moment and Taurus a run-up.

If you are already in it

If you are already in this one, Aries should stop asking Taurus to decide on the spot. You will get a no every time, because a cornered Taurus says no by reflex. Ask on Monday for Friday, and you will be astonished how often the answer changes.

What the two charts actually say

Side by side on the wheel, thirty degrees apart, sharing a border and almost nothing else. 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 Taurus about 19 April to 20 May. Both edges move with the year.

Your Two Charts settles a border case, because it uses both birth moments rather than both labels. Aries and Taurus have their own pages.
