The sky, computed
Saturday, 14 October 2023 · Tucson
- 1New moon, annular solar eclipse, 10:55 TucsonSun and Moon at the same degree. Traditionally a beginning: a seed set in the dark, not yet visible. 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.
- 2Mercury conjunction Sun, applying, 3.91° from exactMercury and Sun at the same degree of the sky. Traditionally a blending: what the two stand for acts as one thing. Still approaching exact.
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.
