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 Cancer · house 8

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

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 2

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

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 8

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  11. True Node in Libra · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.23°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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. Mars AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.35°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  3. Uranus Pluto · trine, orb 0.33°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  4. Venus Lilith · trine, orb 0.39°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Moon MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.78°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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 Mercury · opposition, orb 0.97°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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 · 78 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 →
