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 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Leo · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 3

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 4

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

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

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Chiron · trine, orb 0.09°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Lilith MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.27°

    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.

  3. Saturn Chiron · square, orb 0.32°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  4. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 0.51°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Jupiter Neptune · opposition, orb 1.00°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Uranus MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.62°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public 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 · 80 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 →
