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 Sagittarius · house 5

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 4

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 5

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 6

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 12

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 10

    Where you want more room.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 5

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 9

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 2

    Where the edges go soft.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 11

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 10

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 5

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.17°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  2. Mars Uranus · square, orb 0.44°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  3. Jupiter Neptune · trine, orb 0.51°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  4. Neptune True Node · square, orb 0.85°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mercury Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.11°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Uranus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.18°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

The year ahead · 108 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 →
