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 Gemini · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 8

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

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

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 6

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

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 4

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

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

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Uranus · sextile, orb 0.05°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.44°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Pluto MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.54°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  4. Jupiter Lilith · sextile, orb 0.62°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Saturn Chiron · trine, orb 1.39°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  6. Mars Lilith · square, orb 1.68°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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 · 80 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 →
