- 1Saturn trine Jupiter, exact todaySaturn and Jupiter about 120 degrees apart. Traditionally an easy flow between what they stand for. Exact today.
- 2Pluto sextile Neptune, applying, 0.16° 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.
- 3Saturn square Mars, applying, 0.43° from exactSaturn and Mars about 90 degrees apart. Traditionally friction between what they stand for, the kind that asks for work. Still approaching exact.
- 4Mars sextile Mercury, applying, 0.95° from exactMars and Mercury about 60 degrees apart. Traditionally an opening between what they stand for, one that has to be taken up to count. Still approaching exact.
- 5Mars sextile Sun, applying, 4.87° from exactMars and Sun about 60 degrees apart. Traditionally an opening between what they stand for, one that has to be taken up to count. Still approaching exact.
- 6Venus opposition Moon, applying, 0.42° from exactVenus 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.
