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 Gemini · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In bearing and first impression.

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.15°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Mercury Neptune · square, orb 0.22°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  3. Jupiter True Node · trine, orb 0.34°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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. Moon Mars · square, orb 0.44°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mars AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.58°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  6. Lilith MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.18°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 88 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 →
