Reading

Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.

  1. Sun in Virgo · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 4

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

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 1

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

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In bearing and first impression.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

The tightest aspects

  1. Lilith MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.18°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.

  2. Mercury Mars · trine, orb 0.35°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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

  3. Mars Chiron · square, orb 0.41°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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. Sun Uranus · square, orb 0.89°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  5. Mercury AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.99°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  6. Chiron AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.92°

    The injury that becomes a competence 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 · 82 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 →
