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 Libra · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 11

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 8

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 7

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

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

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

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

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 2

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Mars · sextile, orb 0.04°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.13°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Neptune True Node · trine, orb 0.21°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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. Neptune Lilith · trine, orb 0.59°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Uranus Pluto · trine, orb 0.76°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  6. True Node Lilith · trine, orb 0.79°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 84 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 →
