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 5

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

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 5

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 2

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Venus · opposition, orb 0.14°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.35°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Moon Uranus · sextile, orb 0.46°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Neptune MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.56°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  5. Venus Uranus · trine, orb 0.60°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  6. Pluto Lilith · opposition, orb 0.98°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn 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 · 72 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 →
