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 Virgo · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 10

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

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 5

    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.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In bearing and first impression.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.06°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Saturn Chiron · trine, orb 0.18°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Uranus Pluto · square, orb 0.46°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  4. Mercury AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.05°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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. Jupiter Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.26°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Jupiter AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.30°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

The year ahead · 76 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 →
