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 Cancer · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 10

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    In the public record of a life.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Pluto AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.15°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  2. Moon Chiron · square, orb 0.23°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  3. Neptune True Node · trine, orb 0.24°

    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.

  4. Sun Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.84°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Mercury Saturn · square, orb 0.75°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  6. Sun Jupiter · square, orb 0.89°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 87 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 →
