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 things to be lovely, one with the lights on and one with everybody comfortable.

How it actually goes

Fire and air, with the Sun and Venus. This is charming, and everybody says so. Leo is warm and Libra is gracious, and socially the two of you are formidable. There is genuine affection here and very little friction.

The sextile asks for effort and neither of you supplies the hard part. Leo wants to be adored and Libra wants to be agreed with, and both of you will give the other what they want rather than say the uncomfortable thing. That can look like a wonderful relationship for years and leave both of you unable to say what you actually think.

What each of you brings

Leo brings the certainty. Libra can weigh a decision until it rots, and you are the one who simply chooses, which Libra finds restful rather than overbearing.

Libra brings the balance. Leo takes up the room by default and you are the one who notices whether that is working for everybody, including Leo.

The argument you will have

Carefully avoided. When it does happen Leo is dramatic and Libra is reasonable, and reasonable beats dramatic in the moment and loses over a decade, because Leo stops bringing things up at all.

If you are already in it

If you are already in this one, practise disagreeing in public, lightly, about something trivial. Both of you are so invested in the pleasant surface that neither has any practice at friction, and the first real one will frighten you both more than it should.

What the two charts actually say

Sixty degrees, the sextile. The helpful angle: it works if used and does nothing if not. Fire and Air, which is the easiest mix there is and the one most likely to burn through its own fuel. Air feeds Fire. That is a compliment and a warning in the same sentence.

Sun in Leo about 22 July to 22 August, in Libra about 22 September to 22 October. Both edges move with the year.

Your Two Charts says whether the effort would be worth making. Leo and Libra have their own pages.
