- 1Neptune stations retrogradeNeptune appears to stop and move backward against the stars, an effect of where Earth stands. Traditionally a turn inward for what Neptune stands for: review, redo, reconsider.
- 2Mercury enters Leo, leaving CancerMercury crosses from Cancer into Leo. Traditionally a change of manner, not of subject: the same planet, working in a new style.
- 3Neptune trine Mercury, exact todayNeptune and Mercury about 120 degrees apart. Traditionally an easy flow between what they stand for. Exact today.
- 4Saturn trine Venus, exact todaySaturn and Venus about 120 degrees apart. Traditionally an easy flow between what they stand for. Exact today.
- 5Pluto sextile Neptune, applying, 1.41° from exactPluto and Neptune about 60 degrees apart. Traditionally an opening between what they stand for, one that has to be taken up to count. Still approaching exact.
- 6Pluto opposition Mercury, applying, 0.90° from exactPluto 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.
- 7Saturn sextile Mars, applying, 2.17° from exactSaturn and Mars about 60 degrees apart. Traditionally an opening between what they stand for, one that has to be taken up to count. 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.
