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 Aquarius · house 4

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

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

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 5

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

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 8

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  11. True Node in Libra · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Chiron · trine, orb 0.00°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Mars MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.18°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Sun Pluto · sextile, orb 0.22°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Sun Mars · square, orb 0.58°

    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.

  5. Pluto MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.54°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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. Venus Uranus · square, orb 0.68°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

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 →
