Chiron not shown. The asteroid data files begin in 1200 and this birth is earlier, so there is no position to draw. Nothing else on the wheel is affected — the planets come from a different set of files that reaches much further back.

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 Capricorn · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

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

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 12

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 5

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.05°

    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.

  2. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.12°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  3. Mars MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.18°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.

  4. Uranus Neptune · sextile, orb 0.16°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon Mars · square, orb 0.32°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  6. Mars Jupiter · square, orb 0.38°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 91 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 →
