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 Scorpio · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 5

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

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 12

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In the daily traffic of information.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Pluto · square, orb 0.21°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mercury Mars · conjunction, orb 0.74°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Chiron Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.64°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mars Saturn · trine, orb 0.75°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  5. True Node AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.90°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Mercury Pluto · square, orb 0.94°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 66 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 →
