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 Cancer · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, 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.

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 12

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

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 10

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

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

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Chiron · trine, orb 0.08°

    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. Saturn Neptune · square, orb 0.50°

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

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

  3. Venus Neptune · square, orb 0.74°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  4. Saturn True Node · opposition, orb 0.94°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Venus Saturn · opposition, orb 1.25°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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. Mercury Jupiter · square, orb 1.56°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

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 →
