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 6

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

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 8

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

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Uranus · trine, orb 0.40°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  2. Uranus AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.33°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  3. Mars Chiron · square, orb 0.58°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  4. Chiron Lilith · trine, orb 0.84°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Mercury Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.00°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Sun MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.78°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

The year ahead · 79 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 →
