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 Scorpio · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  4. Venus in Libra · house 4

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 10

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

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

    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. Mercury Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.96°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Venus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.23°

    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. Pluto Lilith · sextile, orb 1.08°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mars Lilith · opposition, orb 2.13°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 1.22°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Neptune Lilith · trine, orb 2.30°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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 · 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 →
