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 4

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

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 4

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

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

  5. Mars in Aries · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    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 Gemini · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Chiron MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.41°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mercury True Node · square, orb 0.67°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  3. Sun AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.80°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  4. Uranus AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.89°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Lilith MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.19°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  6. Moon Uranus · square, orb 1.84°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 89 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 →
