The sky, computed
Friday, 19 April 2024 · Tucson
- 1Sun enters Taurus, leaving AriesSun crosses from Aries into Taurus. Traditionally a change of manner, not of subject: the same planet, working in a new style.
- 2Uranus sextile Mars, exact todayUranus and Mars about 60 degrees apart. Traditionally an opening between what they stand for, one that has to be taken up to count. Exact today.
- 3Jupiter sextile Mars, exact todayJupiter and Mars about 60 degrees apart. Traditionally an opening between what they stand for, one that has to be taken up to count. Exact today.
- 4Pluto square Sun, applying, 1.86° from exactPluto and Sun about 90 degrees apart. Traditionally friction between what they stand for, the kind that asks for work. Still approaching exact.
- 5Uranus conjunction Jupiter, applying, 0.23° 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.
- 6Saturn opposition Moon, applying, 1.40° from exactSaturn 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.
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.
