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.

Your Two Charts
For entertainment
A couple of details.
Which one are you?
Your Sun sign, the one everybody means. If your birthday is on the edge of two, pick the one you were told.
Which two signs?
No birth time needed for this one. If you know the exact moment for both of you, the full synastry reading is far more specific.
The moment, as exactly as you have it.
Filled in from your last reading. Change anything if this one is for somebody else.
Date of birth

An hour out can move the Rising sign. Midday is a fine guess.
And where.
Filled in from the date and the city, daylight saving included. Change it if you know better.

Your hand is measured. The reading is the distance between it and somebody else's, which means we need one more hand.

Before you hold your hand up
Thirty seconds of setup makes the difference between a reading and a guess.
Use the hand you write with. Hold it flat and relaxed with the fingers slightly apart, square to the camera, with the light in front of you rather than behind.
The photo is measured on this phone and never sent anywhere.

The small print
What do you want to ask?
Your readings
Judge the sheet, not the individual portraits. If they look like they came from different artists, the style lock needs work.
Nothing yet. Readings you open are listed here.
Two whole charts laid over each other, and what actually happens where they touch.
What synastry is
Sun sign compatibility compares two twelfths of the population. Synastry compares two actual charts: where one person's Moon falls against the other's Venus, whose Mars sits on whose Sun, and which angles those contacts make.
It is the difference between asking how Scorpios and Geminis get on and asking how you two get on. The first question has twelve answers. The second has as many answers as there are pairs of people.
What the contacts actually describe
The soft angles describe where it is easy, which is usually what drew you together and rarely what keeps you there. The hard angles describe the friction, and in a long relationship they describe the argument you keep having in different clothes.
Neither kind is good or bad on its own. A pair with no hard contacts is often comfortable and inert. A pair with nothing but hard contacts is exhausting. The reading says which you have rather than scoring you out of ten.
What it needs
Both birth moments: date, time and place for each of you. The time matters for the same reason it always does, and it matters twice here because an error in either chart moves the contacts between them.
If one of you does not know the time, the reading still works for the slower placements and says which parts are provisional. It does not quietly present a guess as a result.
How Mars behaves in each sign
Mars in Aries You go straight at it. Fast to anger, fast over it, and other people are not.
Mars in Taurus You do not start it and you do not stop once started.
Mars in Gemini You argue rather than fight, and you can win one and lose the room.
Mars in Cancer You go sideways rather than head on, and it surprises people who thought you were soft.
Mars in Leo You need it acknowledged. Being ignored does more damage than being opposed.
Mars in Virgo You do not explode, you accumulate, and the eventual list is very precise.
Mars in Libra You avoid it until you cannot, and then it comes out disproportionately.
Mars in Scorpio You do not show the fight until it is already over.
Mars in Sagittarius You say the true blunt thing in the moment and repair it afterwards, usually.
Mars in Capricorn You out-wait people. It is the most effective and least satisfying way to win.
Mars in Aquarius You go cold rather than hot, which is worse for whoever is on the other side.
Mars in Pisces You go quiet and leave, which reads as weakness and is closer to refusal.
Questions
Is there a compatibility score?
No, and any site giving you a percentage has invented it. What you get is a description of where the two charts help each other and where they grind.
Can I run it for a friend or a colleague?
Yes. Synastry is not only romantic, and the hard contacts are often more obvious at work than at home.
What if I do not know their birth time?
Enter midday for them and treat the fast placements and the houses as provisional. The reading says which parts those are.
Is this the same as the free compatibility reading?
No. The free one compares two sun signs. This compares two complete charts, which is a different and much more specific thing.
