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 Virgo · house 8

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 2

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

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 8

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Chiron · trine, orb 0.30°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Uranus MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.31°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  3. Saturn Chiron · opposition, orb 0.40°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  4. Lilith AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.66°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.

  5. Mercury Pluto · square, orb 0.78°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  6. Saturn Neptune · sextile, orb 0.70°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The year ahead · 82 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 →
