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 Aries · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 2

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In bearing and first impression.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the public record of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Chiron Lilith · sextile, orb 0.08°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mercury AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.41°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Jupiter MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.72°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  4. Uranus True Node · conjunction, orb 1.05°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Sun Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.44°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Sun Pluto · square, orb 1.83°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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 · 81 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 →
