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 6

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

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 10

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

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 7

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

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

  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 slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 7

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

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  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.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  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. Chiron AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.29°

    The injury that becomes a competence 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. Sun Pluto · square, orb 0.99°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  3. Neptune Lilith · opposition, orb 0.90°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Moon Lilith · opposition, orb 3.10°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Mercury Pluto · trine, orb 2.69°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  6. Uranus Neptune · trine, orb 2.55°

    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.

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 →
