The sky, computed
Monday, 8 April 2024 · Tucson
- 1New moon, total solar eclipse, 11:21 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.
- 2Uranus conjunction Jupiter, applying, 2.12° from exactUranus and Jupiter at the same degree of the sky. Traditionally a blending: what the two stand for acts as one thing. Still approaching exact.
- 3Saturn conjunction Mars, applying, 1.38° from exactSaturn and Mars at the same degree of the sky. Traditionally a blending: what the two stand for acts as one thing. Still approaching exact.
- 4Mercury conjunction Moon, applying, 4.97° from exactMercury 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.
