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 Cancer · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 2

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In bearing and first impression.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Moon · trine, orb 0.22°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.

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

  2. Moon Uranus · square, orb 0.42°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  3. Jupiter Neptune · square, orb 0.36°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  4. Sun Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.54°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Moon Saturn · trine, orb 1.40°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  6. Sun Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.62°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

The year ahead · 79 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 →
