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 8

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

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 10

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 8

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 6

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

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

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.10°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. True Node AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.26°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Jupiter Saturn · trine, orb 0.42°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  4. True Node Chiron · opposition, orb 0.84°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Mercury Lilith · trine, orb 1.25°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  6. Chiron AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.10°

    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.

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 →
