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 Libra · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  11. True Node in Leo · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the daily traffic of information.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Lilith · square, orb 0.04°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mercury Mars · conjunction, orb 0.06°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Chiron MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.21°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Uranus AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.18°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Venus Saturn · trine, orb 0.35°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  6. Moon Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.34°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The year ahead · 90 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 →
