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 Scorpio · house 12

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

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  4. Venus in Libra · house 11

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 4

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

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 0.07°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  2. Neptune Lilith · trine, orb 0.33°

    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.

  3. Sun Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.41°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mars True Node · trine, orb 0.75°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  5. Venus Mars · square, orb 1.03°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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. Sun AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 2.20°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

The year ahead · 78 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 →
