The Uncomfortable Yes

Agreeing to the thing that is right and inconvenient.

Every stage on this deck that is easy to sit with is not this one. The uncomfortable yes is recognisable by the specific quality of dread that accompanies something you already know is correct.

The sky at noon, New York

Waxing gibbous, the Moon in Pisces

The Moon is 86 percent lit and stands at 14°36′ Pisces; the Sun at 29°16′ Libra. The Moon describes what you need in order to feel at ease, and in Pisces it speaks of compassion, imagination, and the porous edge between self and world.

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

The number of the day

6 · Care

The date reduces to 6: the one who tends, and the question of who tends you.

To carry

One question

Which yes today would cost the least to keep?

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.
