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 Sagittarius

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

  2. Moon in Aries

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

  3. Mercury in Scorpio

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

  5. Mars in Aries

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

  9. Neptune in Gemini

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Pisces

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Libra

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Saturn · trine, orb 0.15°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  2. Moon Pluto · sextile, orb 0.26°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mercury True Node · trine, orb 0.33°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  4. Sun Neptune · opposition, orb 1.31°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  5. Sun Venus · conjunction, orb 1.72°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Chiron Lilith · trine, orb 1.23°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

The year ahead · 82 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 →
