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 Pisces · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 6

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

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 1

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

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 1

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 7

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In bearing and first impression.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus True Node · square, orb 0.14°

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

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

  2. Moon Mercury · trine, orb 0.16°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.

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

  3. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.25°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Jupiter Pluto · sextile, orb 0.52°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Jupiter True Node · conjunction, orb 1.38°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Venus Jupiter · square, orb 1.51°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 82 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 →
