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 Aquarius · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  2. Moon in Libra · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 3

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

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.

  12. Chiron in Sagittarius · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 5

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.04°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  2. Jupiter Neptune · square, orb 0.13°

    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.

  3. Sun True Node · square, orb 0.58°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  4. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.54°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon Uranus · trine, orb 1.06°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  6. Saturn Chiron · square, orb 1.10°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence 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 →
