The sky, computed
Sunday, 1 October 2023 · Tucson
- 1Neptune opposition Mercury, applying, 1.48° from exactNeptune and Mercury about 180 degrees apart. Traditionally a face-off between what they stand for, asking for balance rather than a winner. Still approaching exact.
- 2Jupiter conjunction Moon, applying, 3.88° from exactJupiter and Moon at the same degree of the sky. Traditionally a blending: what the two stand for acts as one thing. Still approaching exact. 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.
