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.

Hold your hand up to the camera, mark your two long creases on your own photo, and the reading is built from the measurements rather than from general palmistry.

Both palm readings

What is actually measured

The shape of the hand, the proportion of the fingers to the palm, the curve of the heart line, the length and angle of the head line, and the distance between those two. The reading names which of them it found before it says what any of it means, so you can see what it worked from.

You mark the creases yourself on your own photograph. No model finds skin creases reliably, and a site that pretends otherwise is drawing a line where it guesses one should be.

The photograph never leaves your phone

The measuring happens inside the page, on your device. The photograph is not uploaded, not stored and not kept, and there is no account to make. What travels, if you choose to share a reading, is a handful of numbers.

Reading two hands

The second hand is the older half of this. Your writing hand is read as what you have made of yourself and the other as what you started with, and the distance between the two is the part worth reading. The same engine compares two different people, if you would rather do that.
