The sky, computed
Friday, 5 May 2023 · Tucson
- 1Full moon, penumbral lunar eclipse, 10:34 TucsonSun and Moon opposite each other. Traditionally a culmination: what was begun comes into full light. An eclipse besides: the same alignment falling in line with the Earth's or the Moon's shadow; traditionally a lunation with a longer reach.
- 2Pluto square Jupiter, applying, 2.90° from exactPluto and Jupiter about 90 degrees apart. Traditionally friction between what they stand for, the kind that asks for work. Still approaching exact.
- 3Uranus conjunction Sun, applying, 3.67° from exactUranus and Sun at the same degree of the sky. Traditionally a blending: what the two stand for acts as one thing. Still approaching exact.
- 4Uranus opposition Moon, applying, 2.93° from exactUranus and Moon about 180 degrees apart. Traditionally a face-off between what they stand for, asking for balance rather than a winner. Still approaching exact. With the Moon it lasts hours, not days: traditionally the day's mood rather than its theme.
- 5Mars trine Moon, exact todayMars 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.
