- 1Uranus square Mercury, exact todayUranus and Mercury about 90 degrees apart. Traditionally friction between what they stand for, the kind that asks for work. Exact today.
- 2Jupiter square Venus, exact todayJupiter and Venus about 90 degrees apart. Traditionally friction between what they stand for, the kind that asks for work. Exact today.
- 3Neptune sextile Uranus, applying, 2.20° from exactNeptune and Uranus about 60 degrees apart. Traditionally an opening between what they stand for, one that has to be taken up to count. Still approaching exact.
- 4Uranus square Sun, applying, 0.86° from exactUranus and Sun about 90 degrees apart. Traditionally friction between what they stand for, the kind that asks for work. Still approaching exact.
- 5Saturn square Jupiter, applying, 0.24° from exactSaturn and Jupiter about 90 degrees apart. Traditionally friction between what they stand for, the kind that asks for work. Still approaching exact.
- 6Saturn opposition Venus, applying, 0.73° from exactSaturn and Venus about 180 degrees apart. Traditionally a face-off between what they stand for, asking for balance rather than a winner. Still approaching exact.
- 7Mars square Venus, applying, 2.55° from exactMars and Venus about 90 degrees apart. Traditionally friction between what they stand for, the kind that asks for work. Still approaching exact.
- 8Mercury conjunction Sun, applying, 0.53° 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.
- 9Jupiter trine Moon, exact todayJupiter and Moon about 120 degrees apart. Traditionally an easy flow between what they stand for. Exact today. With the Moon it lasts hours, not days: traditionally the day's mood rather than its theme.
- 10Mars trine Moon, exact todayMars and Moon about 120 degrees apart. Traditionally an easy flow between what they stand for. Exact today. 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.
