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 Leo · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Libra · house 10

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Saturn · square, orb 0.34°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  2. Pluto True Node · conjunction, orb 0.76°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.

  3. Mars Lilith · trine, orb 1.18°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  4. Uranus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.15°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  5. Jupiter Neptune · opposition, orb 1.72°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  6. Sun Jupiter · opposition, orb 3.22°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.

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

The year ahead · 81 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 →
