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 Leo · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

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

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

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In the public record of a life.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon True Node · trine, orb 0.31°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  2. Mercury Saturn · opposition, orb 0.39°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Neptune Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.62°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Moon Venus · trine, orb 0.84°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.

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

  5. Venus True Node · trine, orb 1.15°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  6. Mars Neptune · sextile, orb 0.92°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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 · 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 →
