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 Leo · house 8

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 1

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  11. True Node in Libra · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.03°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Neptune AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.30°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  3. Jupiter Neptune · sextile, orb 0.33°

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

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Jupiter Chiron · opposition, orb 0.60°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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. Chiron AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.62°

    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.

  6. Mercury Uranus · opposition, orb 0.84°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works 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 · 79 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 →
