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 Pisces · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 1

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

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 10

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

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

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 2

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

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 1

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

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 2

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

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Chiron · trine, orb 0.14°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Sun Jupiter · square, orb 0.24°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  3. Sun True Node · square, orb 0.35°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  4. Mercury MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.44°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  5. Venus MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.47°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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. Jupiter True Node · opposition, orb 0.58°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

The year ahead · 82 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 →
