The Season Turning

Not a crisis. Just the weather changing on schedule.

Some stages are dramatic and some are simply due. This is the second kind — a shift that was always going to arrive on roughly this timeline, and the only real choice is whether you notice it turning or get surprised by what was never a surprise.

The sky at noon, New York

First quarter, the Moon in Aquarius

The Moon is 69 percent lit and stands at 19°20′ Aquarius; the Sun at 27°16′ Libra. The Moon describes what you need in order to feel at ease, and in Aquarius it speaks of perspective, friendship, and loyalty to what the future could be.

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

To carry

One question

Where are you being asked to wait, and where only to begin?

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

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. Five systems read as one: Western and Vedic astrology, the numbers, the Chinese five elements and the Oracle stage, by the Soul Canon.
  • The numerology reading. Life path, expression, soul urge, personality and birthday, computed from a name and a date, with the arithmetic shown.
  • The Vedic reading. The sky against the fixed stars: sidereal positions by the Lahiri ayanamsa, the Moon's nakshatra and pada, and its lord.
  • The five elements reading. The four pillars of the Chinese tradition and the balance of wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
  • 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.
