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 Gemini · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In bearing and first impression.

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 7

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

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

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 12

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Saturn · square, orb 0.32°

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

  2. True Node Chiron · trine, orb 0.54°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Moon Neptune · sextile, orb 0.68°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Venus Uranus · trine, orb 0.97°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  5. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.97°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  6. Uranus Chiron · square, orb 1.30°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 90 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 →
