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 Pisces · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 6

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

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

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 1

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the public record of a life.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Uranus · trine, orb 0.14°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  2. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.13°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  3. Mercury Saturn · sextile, orb 0.27°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Neptune AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.34°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  5. True Node Chiron · square, orb 0.46°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  6. Mars Lilith · trine, orb 0.69°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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 · 87 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 →
