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 Pisces · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 6

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

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 1

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Libra · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the daily traffic of information.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.11°

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

  2. Lilith MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.14°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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. Moon Jupiter · trine, orb 1.54°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  4. Uranus Pluto · sextile, orb 1.04°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Saturn Neptune · square, orb 1.66°

    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.

  6. Venus AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.99°

    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.

The year ahead · 79 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 →
