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 Capricorn · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 5

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

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.36°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  2. Uranus Lilith · square, orb 0.36°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  3. Chiron AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.39°

    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.

  4. Moon Pluto · square, orb 0.84°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  5. Neptune Lilith · square, orb 0.88°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  6. Venus Saturn · trine, orb 1.01°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

The year ahead · 77 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 →
