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 Cancer · house 4

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 11

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 4

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 3

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 6

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 1

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 4

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 11

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 5

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

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

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 11

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 12

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 4

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Chiron · opposition, orb 0.36°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  2. Jupiter Pluto · sextile, orb 0.45°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Jupiter Neptune · square, orb 0.84°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  4. Venus Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.57°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Venus MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 2.40°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Mercury MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 2.41°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

The year ahead · 74 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 →
