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 Taurus · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 8

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

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 8

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

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

  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 Aquarius · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 4

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

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

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Chiron · sextile, orb 0.28°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. True Node AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.22°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Moon Uranus · square, orb 0.84°

    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.

  4. Neptune True Node · opposition, orb 0.97°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Sun Mars · square, orb 1.11°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  6. Neptune AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.19°

    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.

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 →
