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 Virgo · house 10

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

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 8

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In the public record of a life.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn Chiron · trine, orb 0.14°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Mercury MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.17°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Moon Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.41°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Uranus Pluto · square, orb 0.39°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  5. Moon Chiron · trine, orb 0.55°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  6. Sun True Node · opposition, orb 0.63°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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

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 →
