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 Taurus · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  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 Gemini · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 4

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

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

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 3

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

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.08°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.

  2. Mars Lilith · trine, orb 0.16°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  3. Sun Neptune · trine, orb 0.25°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  4. Jupiter True Node · trine, orb 0.87°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  5. Mercury Saturn · sextile, orb 0.95°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Sun AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.62°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything 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 · 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 →
