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 Gemini · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 7

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

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 1

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

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 2

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

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In bearing and first impression.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 2

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

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.07°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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. Jupiter Uranus · opposition, orb 0.11°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Uranus Neptune · opposition, orb 1.01°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  4. Jupiter Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.12°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Sun MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.28°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.49°

    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.

The year ahead · 86 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 →
