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 Cancer · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Libra · house 3

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 12

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

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  11. True Node in Libra · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Uranus · square, orb 0.36°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  2. Moon Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.62°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Sun Moon · square, orb 0.83°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it obstruct each other.

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

  4. Jupiter Chiron · sextile, orb 0.60°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon Chiron · trine, orb 1.22°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  6. Pluto Lilith · opposition, orb 1.99°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

The year ahead · 93 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 →
