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 10

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

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 4

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 12

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

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

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the public record of a life.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Chiron · trine, orb 0.25°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Mercury True Node · conjunction, orb 0.45°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Sun Uranus · trine, orb 1.10°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  4. Venus True Node · sextile, orb 0.87°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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. Mercury Venus · sextile, orb 1.33°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Mars AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.98°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 78 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 →
