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 shows everything and one of you shows nothing, and both of you are entirely certain you are the honest one.

How it actually goes

This is the loudest square on the wheel. Leo is warm in public and means it. Scorpio is warm in private and means it more than they will say. Each of you reads the other's version as a performance, and the attraction is largely that neither of you has met anybody this hard to shift before.

Where it works it is enormously loyal. Both of you are fixed signs, so neither leaves easily, and both of you take the relationship seriously in a way that your friends with easier pairings never quite understand. Where it fails is the power contest: Leo demanding the reaction out loud, Scorpio withholding it precisely because it was demanded. That can run for years and both of you will call it passion.

What each of you brings

Leo brings the warmth into the open, which is the thing Scorpio cannot do for themselves. You will say it first and keep saying it, and in this pairing somebody has to.

Scorpio brings the depth under the display. You see what Leo is actually asking for when they are performing, and being seen like that is the one thing a Leo cannot get from applause.

The argument you will have

It is about control and it never announces itself as that. Leo gets louder, Scorpio gets quieter, and both of you mistake the other's move for the whole problem. The way out is unglamorous: Scorpio says the thing instead of withdrawing with it, Leo asks instead of demanding. Both of you would rather win.

If you are already in it

If you are already in this one, the thing to break is the silence that follows a row. Scorpio will take days and Leo will fill them with noise, and the noise makes the days longer. Agree a shape for it now, while nothing is wrong: how long the quiet lasts, and who speaks first.

What the two charts actually say

Ninety degrees, a square. This is the angle that rubs, and it rubs permanently. Fire and Water, and the old books are blunt about this one: steam or nothing. You either change each other or you spend years carefully not touching.

Sun in Leo about 22 July to 22 August, in Scorpio about 22 October to 21 November. Both edges move with the year.

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