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 Libra · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Libra · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  4. Venus in Libra · house 11

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 8

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

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 8

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 8

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

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Moon · conjunction, orb 0.13°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Sun Chiron · trine, orb 0.27°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Moon Chiron · trine, orb 0.40°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  4. Venus True Node · square, orb 0.59°

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

  5. True Node Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.75°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Venus Lilith · square, orb 1.34°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 87 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 →
