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 5

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

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 5

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

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 5

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

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

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Chiron AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.38°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  2. Sun Neptune · opposition, orb 0.57°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Moon Mercury · opposition, orb 0.66°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  4. Venus Pluto · trine, orb 0.73°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  5. Mars Lilith · sextile, orb 0.82°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.77°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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.

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 →
