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 Gemini · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 8

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 7

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

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 5

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.01°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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. Moon Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.09°

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

  3. Moon Saturn · trine, orb 0.37°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  4. Moon AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.38°

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

  5. Lilith MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.31°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  6. Saturn Uranus · trine, orb 0.46°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 87 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 →
