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 6

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

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 8

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

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

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 5

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Libra · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Pluto · opposition, orb 0.27°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Mercury Saturn · trine, orb 0.30°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  3. Mars Uranus · trine, orb 0.38°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  4. Uranus Pluto · sextile, orb 0.65°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon Venus · trine, orb 1.93°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.

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

  6. Saturn Chiron · square, orb 1.91°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 92 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 →
