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 Cancer · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn Neptune · trine, orb 0.08°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  2. Mars Pluto · trine, orb 0.16°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  3. Neptune True Node · conjunction, orb 0.22°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Saturn True Node · trine, orb 0.30°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  5. Mars Chiron · trine, orb 0.86°

    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.

  6. Pluto Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.02°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

The year ahead · 93 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 →
