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 Aries · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 9

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

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 8

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

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

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 1

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 4

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 1

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

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Lilith MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.01°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.

  2. Moon AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.38°

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

  3. Sun Saturn · trine, orb 1.05°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  4. Jupiter AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.98°

    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.

  5. Moon Jupiter · trine, orb 1.36°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  6. Mercury Chiron · trine, orb 1.30°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

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 →
