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 12

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

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 11

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 4

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

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    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 Pisces · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.04°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Venus Mars · sextile, orb 0.33°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Moon Pluto · square, orb 0.75°

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

  4. Mercury AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.77°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Moon Mercury · sextile, orb 0.81°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Venus Uranus · sextile, orb 0.72°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The year ahead · 93 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 →
