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 Pisces · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 11

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  11. True Node in Aries · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 10

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

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

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Chiron AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.14°

    The injury that becomes a competence 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. Uranus Neptune · sextile, orb 0.12°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.38°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  4. Pluto Chiron · square, orb 0.70°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  5. Sun Pluto · sextile, orb 0.94°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Mercury Saturn · trine, orb 1.11°

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

The year ahead · 91 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 →
