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 Aquarius · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 3

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 3

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  11. True Node in Leo · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 3

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn Neptune · trine, orb 0.49°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  2. Mercury Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.66°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Saturn True Node · trine, orb 1.19°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.

  4. Mercury AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.30°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  5. Uranus Neptune · square, orb 1.22°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  6. Jupiter Uranus · square, orb 1.40°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 83 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 →
