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 Pisces · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 3

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 7

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

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

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 3

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

    In the daily traffic of information.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 1

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

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

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 7

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

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 7

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

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

  11. True Node in Leo · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Lilith · square, orb 0.05°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  2. Saturn AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.25°

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

  3. Mars Pluto · opposition, orb 0.45°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  4. Moon Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.43°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Venus MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.81°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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. Moon True Node · square, orb 1.12°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

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 →
