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 Sagittarius · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  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.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the public record of a life.

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Neptune · square, orb 0.01°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  2. Venus True Node · opposition, orb 0.17°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Lilith MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.55°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Sun Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.74°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Sun Mars · square, orb 0.75°

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

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

  6. Saturn Pluto · sextile, orb 0.85°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The year ahead · 91 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 →
