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.

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 water signs who read each other without asking, and are each keeping one thing back.

How it actually goes

Water and water, and the understanding here is immediate. Neither of you has to explain why something landed badly, neither needs a feeling justified, and the loyalty on both sides is close to total. This is the pairing both of you have been looking for and it is not an exaggeration to say so.

What it does not have is air. Both of you go deep, both of you hold on, and neither has any instinct for lightening it. A bad stretch in this pairing has nothing to lift it: two people sinking at the same rate, each reading the other's weather as confirmation of their own. The strength and the danger are the same thing.

What each of you brings

Cancer brings the care that keeps a life running. You protect, you remember, and you make somewhere worth coming back to.

Scorpio brings the nerve. Cancer retreats when threatened and you do not, and having somebody who will go directly at the thing is what this pairing is short of.

The argument you will have

Silent and underground. Neither of you says it plainly, both of you know exactly what it is about, and it can run for a week with nothing spoken. Both of you are also entirely capable of ending it in one sentence, which is the frustrating part.

If you are already in it

If you are already in this one, get something outside the two of you into the week. Friends, exercise, anything with other people in it. Two water signs alone together amplify each other, in both directions, and the only reliable regulator is someone else in the room.

What the two charts actually say

A hundred and twenty degrees, a trine. Same element, smoothest angle there is, and it asks nothing of either of you. One Cardinal, one Fixed. One of you starts and the other will not be rushed, which is either a very good split of the work or the whole problem.

Sun in Cancer about 20 June to 22 July, in Scorpio about 22 October to 21 November. Both edges move with the year.

Your Two Charts is where an easy pairing gets interesting. Cancer and Scorpio have their own pages.
