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 Aquarius · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 6

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

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 10

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

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

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars True Node · sextile, orb 0.11°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.

  2. Moon Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.40°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Chiron Lilith · sextile, orb 0.30°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Chiron AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.09°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Uranus Lilith · square, orb 1.07°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  6. Lilith AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.39°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.

The year ahead · 85 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 →
