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 Gemini · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  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 Taurus · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 9

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

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

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

The tightest aspects

  1. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.07°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  2. Venus Chiron · square, orb 0.34°

    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.

  3. Uranus MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.33°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  4. Moon True Node · sextile, orb 0.34°

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

  5. Neptune Chiron · square, orb 0.60°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  6. Neptune Pluto · square, orb 0.62°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 85 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 →
