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 Cancer · house 5

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

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 3

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 7

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 6

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

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  11. True Node in Aries · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 1

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn Pluto · opposition, orb 0.16°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Sun Mars · sextile, orb 0.54°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mercury Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.80°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Saturn Uranus · square, orb 0.89°

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

  5. Uranus Pluto · square, orb 1.05°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  6. Jupiter Lilith · trine, orb 1.56°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 82 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 →
