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 Cancer · house 10

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

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 5

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

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    In the public record of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Sagittarius · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.08°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Jupiter · trine, orb 0.13°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Uranus True Node · sextile, orb 0.09°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Moon Chiron · sextile, orb 0.18°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.20°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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.

  6. Sun Mars · sextile, orb 0.22°

    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.

The year ahead · 76 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 →
