The Plain Request

Asking directly for the thing, instead of arranging to deserve it.

A great deal of effort goes into becoming worthy of asking for something that could simply be asked for. This stage is the shortcut nobody trusts: state the request, in plain words, and let the answer be the answer.

The sky at noon, New York

Waxing crescent, the Moon in Sagittarius

The Moon is 23 percent lit and stands at 19°37′ Sagittarius; the Sun at 22°19′ Libra. The Moon describes what you need in order to feel at ease, and in Sagittarius it speaks of meaning, distance, and the long view that makes sense of the near one.

On a day like this, what would give you meaning?

The reading of your own

Deeper, inside Luminous Soul

Inside Luminous Soul, the day is read against your own chart, goals and journal, and comes back as one move or none.

The month and the year begin with seven days at no charge. The figures are on the Luminous Soul page.

What this reading draws on

The books, the letters, a conversation

• The Soulmate in Liminal Space, the threshold stages, the in-between the Oracle names
• The Sunflower, attention and attraction, from his own experience
• From the Blue Place, a poem and a bridge, for the quiet days
• The Sunflower Letters, The house letters on the Law of Attraction, drawn from The Sunflower and its companions. They arrive in the magazine one by one.

Every book in the house is free to read, for good. Open the library.

A first conversation with Ammanuel is complimentary: where this meets your life or your work, and whether there is more to do together. Request a complimentary conversation.

The other readings

• The whole-life reading. The chart, the numbers and the stage you are in, read together as one long view.
• The numerology reading. Life path, expression, soul urge, personality and birthday, computed from a name and a date, with the arithmetic shown.
• The astrology reading. A chart computed from the sky as it was, never typed in: ten bodies, the rising sign, the houses, read as questions.
• All the readings

A reading is for reflection. It does not predict events, and it is not advice about health, money or law.
