The sky, computed
Sunday, 11 August 2019 · Tucson
- 1Uranus stations retrogradeUranus appears to stop and move backward against the stars, an effect of where Earth stands. Traditionally a turn inward for what Uranus stands for: review, redo, reconsider.
- 2Jupiter stations directJupiter appears to stop and move forward again. Traditionally the review ends and what Jupiter stands for resumes its course.
- 3Mercury enters Leo, leaving CancerMercury crosses from Cancer into Leo. Traditionally a change of manner, not of subject: the same planet, working in a new style.
- 4Venus conjunction Sun, applying, 0.68° from exactVenus and Sun at the same degree of the sky. Traditionally a blending: what the two stand for acts as one thing. Still approaching exact.
- 5Uranus trine Moon, exact todayUranus and Moon about 120 degrees apart. Traditionally an easy flow between what they stand for. Exact today. With the Moon it lasts hours, not days: traditionally the day's mood rather than its theme.
Every event of this civil day, from the positions of the planets, by the same ephemeris her readings run on: lunations with their times, stations, ingresses, and the aspects in orb, ranked for attention. Nothing here is interpreted. Each plain line is tradition’s gloss of that kind of event, not a reading of the day or of anyone.
How she reads
She reads a real chart, computed, for a named person on a date, and a card the machine drew that she cannot take back; every reading names one thing to watch for, and later she asks whether it happened.
