Reading

Put together from what the tradition attributes to each body, sign and house — a portrait to enjoy, not a verdict. The positions beside it are the part that can be checked.

  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 Pisces · house 12

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

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 12

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

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

  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 Aries · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  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 Virgo · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Neptune · opposition, orb 0.07°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Sun True Node · trine, orb 0.08°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Mars Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.10°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mercury AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.30°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Mars AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 2.23°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Saturn AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 2.13°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

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 →
