No birth time. Date known, time unknown. Houses and angles cannot be drawn. The wheel below shows the planets, which a date alone can fix to within a degree — but no Ascendant, Midheaven or house cusps, because those move a full circle every twenty-four hours.

Reading

Put together from what the tradition attributes to each body, sign and house — a portrait to enjoy, not a verdict. The positions beside it are the part that can be checked.

  1. Sun in Leo

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

  2. Moon in Libra

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

  3. Mercury in Leo

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

  4. Venus in Leo

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

  5. Mars in Gemini

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

  7. Saturn in Leo

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

  10. Pluto in Cancer

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

  11. True Node in Capricorn

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.60°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Jupiter Neptune · sextile, orb 0.48°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mars Lilith · sextile, orb 0.64°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mars Chiron · square, orb 1.35°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  5. Sun Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.74°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Moon Mercury · sextile, orb 1.26°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The year ahead · 91 exact contacts

Every moment a slower body makes an exact aspect to this chart, solved to the minute in UT. Mars outward only — the Sun alone would perfect seventy-five of these a year and the Moon nine hundred, which is noise rather than a forecast. A contact marked 2 of 3 perfects more than once because the transiting body stations while inside orb. On orbs and exactness →
