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 Aries · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 6

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

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 2

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the public record of a life.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aquarius · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 12

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

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

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Pluto · sextile, orb 0.14°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Neptune Chiron · trine, orb 0.20°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Moon Venus · square, orb 0.50°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.

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

  4. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.67°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  5. Jupiter Pluto · opposition, orb 1.31°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.41°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 87 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 →
