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 10

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

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 8

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

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 10

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 9

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

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 1

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    In the public record of a life.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 0.07°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  2. True Node MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.27°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Venus Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.36°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.60°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  5. Venus Jupiter · trine, orb 1.01°

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

  6. Jupiter AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.19°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

The year ahead · 96 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 →
