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 people who both work very hard at keeping everybody comfortable, and neither of you is saying what you want.

How it actually goes

Cardinal signs both, so you both start things, and both of you start them by considering somebody else first. Cancer leads with feeling, Libra leads with fairness, and the square between them is the gap between what is kind and what is even. Those are not the same and this pairing finds that out repeatedly.

It is a gentle relationship from outside and a complicated one inside. Cancer gives more than it says and expects it to be noticed. Libra keeps the peace and expects that to count as giving. Each of you ends up feeling like the one doing the work, and neither of you will say so, because saying so would be the unfair thing.

What each of you brings

Cancer brings genuine care rather than politeness. You will notice the real state of somebody, not the stated one, and you will act on it without making it a discussion.

Libra brings proportion. You see when Cancer has taken something personally that was not personal, and you can say so without it landing as a dismissal, which almost nobody can.

The argument you will have

Indirect and slow. Neither of you starts it, so it arrives as mood or as courtesy slightly too careful. Then it comes out as a list. The fix is to raise the small thing when it is small, which is exactly what both of you are built not to do.

If you are already in it

If you are already in this one, take it in turns to state a preference with no justification attached. Not a negotiation, just a want. Two people who both lead with the other person will otherwise spend years in a relationship that nobody in it chose.

What the two charts actually say

Ninety degrees, a square. This is the angle that rubs, and it rubs permanently. Air and Water. One of you explains the feeling and the other simply has it, and you will each suspect the other of doing the easier half.

Sun in Cancer about 20 June to 22 July, in Libra about 22 September to 22 October. Both edges move with the year.

Your Two Charts finds where the two charts actually touch. Cancer and Libra have their own pages.
