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 Leo · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the public record of a life.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Mars · conjunction, orb 0.04°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Jupiter Pluto · trine, orb 0.33°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  3. Mars AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.37°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Venus AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.41°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Pluto True Node · sextile, orb 0.38°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Moon AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.05°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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 · 85 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 →
