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 Aries · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Aries · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    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 Pisces · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Lilith · trine, orb 0.26°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  2. Chiron MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.75°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  3. True Node Lilith · square, orb 0.65°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  4. Pluto Lilith · sextile, orb 0.64°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Venus MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.25°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Sun Saturn · opposition, orb 1.47°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

The year ahead · 80 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 →
