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 want to be respected, one in the room and one on the record.

How it actually goes

Five signs apart, fire against earth, fixed against cardinal. Leo wants to be seen doing it and Capricorn wants it to count in ten years, and neither of you quite believes the other's version of achievement is real.

There is a great deal of mutual respect available here, because both of you work and neither is frivolous. What is in short supply is warmth expressed in a form the other recognises. Leo says it and wants it said back. Capricorn provides and expects the providing to be read.

The pairing goes wrong slowly: Leo performing for somebody who does not applaud, Capricorn working for somebody who wanted a sentence instead. Neither of you is withholding. You are paying in different currencies.

What each of you brings

Leo brings the warmth and the insistence that life be enjoyed as it goes. Capricorn defers that indefinitely, and you are the only one who refuses to let it be deferred.

Capricorn brings the substance behind the show. Leo is better than their reputation at actually delivering, and you are the one who makes sure there is something to show for it.

The argument you will have

Leo feels unappreciated and gets grand about it. Capricorn finds the display undignified and gets cold. Each response makes the other's worse, and neither of you is capable of the small ordinary sentence that would end it on the spot.

If you are already in it

If you are already in this one, exchange currencies deliberately. Leo acknowledges what Capricorn carries, out loud, by name. Capricorn says the warm thing in words rather than in provision. Both of you will find it unnatural and both of you will feel the difference within a week.

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 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 Leo about 22 July to 22 August, in Capricorn about 21 December to 19 January. 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. Leo and Capricorn have their own pages.
