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 sun signs, the angle between them, and the actual reason the pairing runs easily or does not.

What compatibility is read from

Three things, and they are all geometry. The angle between the two signs, which is fixed: the same sign, sixty degrees apart, ninety, one hundred and twenty, or opposite. The element, fire, earth, air or water. And the mode, cardinal, fixed or mutable, which describes whether a sign starts things, holds things or changes things.

An astrologer answering this question is reading those three and nothing more exotic. One hundred and twenty degrees is the comfortable one. Ninety is the one that generates friction. Opposite is the one that is either the great love or the long argument, and frequently both.

What two sun signs can and cannot tell you

They can tell you the shape of the thing: where it runs smoothly, where it will grind, and what each of you is likely to want from it.

They cannot tell you how it will feel day to day. That is the Moon and Venus, which need birth times rather than birthdays, and it is why two couples with identical sun sign pairs can have completely different relationships. Sun sign compatibility is the first page, not the whole book.

What this one does

Pick two signs. No birth times, no account, nothing to enter beyond the two names, and it is free.

It gives you the angle, the elements and the modes, and what that combination actually produces, including the parts that are inconvenient. A compatibility reading that says every pairing is wonderful is not a reading.

Questions

Are some pairs doomed?
No, and the square pairs, the ones ninety degrees apart, are disproportionately common among couples who stay together for decades. Friction is not the same as incompatibility. The easy pairings are the ones that drift.
Why do different sites give different answers?
Most are working from a fixed table somebody wrote once. The underlying geometry does not vary, so where answers differ it is the interpretation, not the astronomy.
What about two people with the same sign?
Zero degrees apart, so everything is amplified, including the parts of the sign neither of you likes. It tends to be very comfortable and very short on perspective.
Do I need birth times?
Not for this. Birth times are what the full comparison needs, where two whole charts are laid over each other.
