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 Leo · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Libra · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  11. True Node in Leo · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In bearing and first impression.

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune True Node · trine, orb 0.03°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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. Pluto MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.05°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  3. Mercury Chiron · sextile, orb 0.25°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Neptune AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.57°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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. Neptune MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.87°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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. Mercury Pluto · square, orb 0.97°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

The year ahead · 89 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 →
