- 1Venus sextile Mercury, exact todayVenus and Mercury about 60 degrees apart. Traditionally an opening between what they stand for, one that has to be taken up to count. Exact today.
- 2Pluto square Sun, applying, 0.82° from exactPluto and Sun about 90 degrees apart. Traditionally friction between what they stand for, the kind that asks for work. Still approaching exact.
- 3Uranus sextile Venus, applying, 0.54° from exactUranus and Venus about 60 degrees apart. Traditionally an opening between what they stand for, one that has to be taken up to count. Still approaching exact.
- 4Uranus conjunction Mercury, applying, 0.72° from exactUranus and Mercury at the same degree of the sky. Traditionally a blending: what the two stand for acts as one thing. Still approaching exact.
- 5Mars sextile Sun, applying, 4.27° from exactMars and Sun about 60 degrees apart. Traditionally an opening between what they stand for, one that has to be taken up to count. Still approaching exact.
- 6Uranus opposition Moon, applying, 2.67° from exactUranus and Moon about 180 degrees apart. Traditionally a face-off between what they stand for, asking for balance rather than a winner.

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.
