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 Aries · house 7

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

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 11

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Jupiter · square, orb 0.17°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  2. Moon Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.49°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Pluto Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.69°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Saturn True Node · square, orb 0.85°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  5. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.85°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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.

  6. Mercury Neptune · trine, orb 1.22°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 81 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 →
