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 Aquarius · house 8

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.07°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Moon AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.64°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything 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 Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.10°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.73°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.03°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Venus Uranus · trine, orb 1.33°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 74 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 →
