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 2

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

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 5

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

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 3

    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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 12

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 11

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Pluto · square, orb 0.15°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  2. Venus Jupiter · square, orb 0.21°

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

  3. Venus Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.36°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mercury Saturn · square, orb 0.43°

    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.

  5. Moon AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.63°

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

  6. Sun Jupiter · trine, orb 2.00°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

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 →
