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 Cancer · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 7

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

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 8

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

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

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.15°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  2. Mercury Neptune · sextile, orb 0.30°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Venus Chiron · square, orb 1.61°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  4. Venus Neptune · square, orb 1.64°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  5. Pluto MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.03°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Sun Saturn · trine, orb 2.04°

    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.

The year ahead · 89 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 →
