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.

Two earth signs who both want it done properly, and finally live with somebody who agrees.

How it actually goes

This is quietly one of the most functional pairings there is. Both of you are practical, neither of you is dramatic, and the ordinary business of a life gets handled without a standing argument about it. The relief of that is difficult to overstate if either of you has come from something chaotic.

The trine makes it easy and the risk is smallness. Two earth signs can build a life so well run that nothing ever happens in it. Neither of you will propose the disruptive thing. Both of you are capable of a decade of competent contentment that neither would describe as happy if asked directly.

What each of you brings

Taurus brings the pleasure. Virgo can reduce a life to maintenance, and you are the one who insists that some of it is supposed to be enjoyed.

Virgo brings the attention. Taurus settles into a routine and stops seeing it, and you notice the thing that has quietly stopped working.

The argument you will have

Infrequent and practical. You argue about method, not about feelings, and it is resolved by one of you producing evidence. What never gets argued is the bigger question, because neither of you likes raising something that cannot be fixed this week.

If you are already in it

If you are already in this one, schedule the conversation about what you actually want from the next five years. Neither of you will start it. Both of you will have a surprising amount to say once it is started, and it is the single thing this pairing does not do by itself.

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 Fixed, one Mutable. One of you holds and the other bends, and the one who bends is keeping a list the other has never been shown.

Sun in Taurus about 19 April to 20 May, in Virgo about 22 August to 22 September. Both edges move with the year.

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