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 Scorpio · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 4

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 11

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 4

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

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Neptune · sextile, orb 0.00°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Venus Pluto · sextile, orb 0.28°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Jupiter Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.86°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Venus AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.04°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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. Sun Saturn · opposition, orb 1.35°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  6. Sun Jupiter · opposition, orb 2.21°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available 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 · 83 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 →
