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 Capricorn · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 1

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

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

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus Neptune · opposition, orb 0.13°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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. Moon Jupiter · square, orb 0.76°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.06°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Jupiter AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.90°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  5. Pluto True Node · conjunction, orb 1.24°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.

  6. Mars Neptune · trine, orb 1.40°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 93 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 →
