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 Taurus · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 8

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

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

  11. True Node in Libra · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.06°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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 Lilith · square, orb 0.18°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  3. Moon Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.54°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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 Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.76°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Uranus Neptune · trine, orb 0.91°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  6. Lilith AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.23°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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 · 93 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 →
