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 Aquarius · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Aries · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 12

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

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 12

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

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

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus True Node · square, orb 0.12°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  2. Lilith AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.25°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.

  3. Mercury Saturn · opposition, orb 0.60°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Lilith MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.72°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.97°

    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.

  6. Moon True Node · trine, orb 1.26°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 88 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 →
