  1. 1First quarter, 02:57 TucsonThe Moon 90 degrees ahead of the Sun. Traditionally the first test of what was begun at the new moon.
  2. 2Pluto trine Mars, exact todayPluto and Mars about 120 degrees apart. Traditionally an easy flow between what they stand for. Exact today.
  3. 3Saturn opposition Sun, applying, 2.66° from exactSaturn and Sun about 180 degrees apart. Traditionally a face-off between what they stand for, asking for balance rather than a winner. Still approaching exact.
  4. 4Saturn square Moon, exact todaySaturn and Moon about 90 degrees apart. Traditionally friction between what they stand for, the kind that asks for work. 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.
