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 Capricorn · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 4

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

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 4

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

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  5. Mars in Aries · house 5

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

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 7

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  10. Pluto in Libra · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Neptune · square, orb 0.19°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  2. Uranus MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.14°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Sun Saturn · trine, orb 0.39°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  4. Jupiter Lilith · sextile, orb 0.39°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Neptune True Node · sextile, orb 0.58°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Mercury AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.40°

    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.

The year ahead · 96 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 →
