Reading

Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.

  1. Sun in Libra · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Uranus · sextile, orb 0.00°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Moon Uranus · opposition, orb 0.30°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Moon Venus · trine, orb 0.30°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.

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

  4. Mars Chiron · trine, orb 0.45°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  5. Mercury True Node · square, orb 1.06°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  6. Pluto True Node · square, orb 1.31°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 87 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 →
