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 Pisces · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.28°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  2. Sun Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.44°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Saturn AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.60°

    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.

  4. Sun Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.75°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon Chiron · sextile, orb 0.98°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Saturn MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.34°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 86 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 →
