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 Leo · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 5

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 6

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

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Sagittarius · house 8

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.08°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Venus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.27°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  3. Sun Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.01°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Moon True Node · sextile, orb 0.76°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Pluto AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.47°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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. Jupiter Uranus · square, orb 1.90°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

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 →
