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 Aries · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the public record of a life.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    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.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  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.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Pluto · square, orb 0.04°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  2. Saturn Neptune · trine, orb 0.14°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  3. Sun Mars · trine, orb 0.17°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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

  4. Uranus Lilith · trine, orb 0.17°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Sun True Node · trine, orb 0.71°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  6. Mars True Node · conjunction, orb 0.88°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

The year ahead · 75 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 →
