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 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 2

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 12

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

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

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 7

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars True Node · trine, orb 0.52°

    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.

  2. Venus Neptune · trine, orb 0.64°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  3. Saturn Chiron · sextile, orb 0.46°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Chiron AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.67°

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

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

  5. Venus MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.24°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Mars Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.99°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The year ahead · 77 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 →
