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 Virgo · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 2

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

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  11. True Node in Libra · house 7

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 1

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.13°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Saturn AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.14°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mars Saturn · trine, orb 0.27°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  4. Venus Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.48°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Mercury Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.55°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Mercury Uranus · trine, orb 0.53°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 76 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 →
