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 Scorpio · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 3

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 8

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 8

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

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

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the public record of a life.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Mars · trine, orb 0.70°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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

  2. Mercury Jupiter · square, orb 0.71°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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. Mars Pluto · trine, orb 0.95°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  4. Moon Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.76°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  5. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 1.66°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  6. Neptune MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.54°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

The year ahead · 92 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 →
