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 Pisces · house 11

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 9

    What makes you feel safe.

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 12

    How you think, and how you say it.

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

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 12

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 12

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 12

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 12

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 1

    The urge to break something that still works.

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

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 5

    Where the edges go soft.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 6

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 3

    The sore spot you end up good at.

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 11

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Chiron · trine, orb 0.09°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Moon Venus · square, orb 0.63°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.

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

  3. Uranus Lilith · sextile, orb 0.39°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Moon MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.01°

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

  5. Mercury Pluto · trine, orb 0.86°

    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. Saturn MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.21°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 72 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 →
