The Cost, Named

What this is actually taking, said out loud once.

Not a complaint and not a reason to stop. A plain accounting of the price, spoken so it can be weighed against the thing it buys, rather than carried silently until it becomes resentment instead of information.

The sky at noon, New York

Waxing gibbous, the Moon in Pisces

The Moon is 92 percent lit and stands at 27°49′ Pisces; the Sun at 0°15′ Scorpio. 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 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. 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.
