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 Aries · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 3

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 3

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 5

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

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 8

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

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 2

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

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Chiron · trine, orb 0.32°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Moon Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.46°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Venus Lilith · opposition, orb 1.08°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  4. Mercury Pluto · trine, orb 1.22°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  5. Mars Lilith · trine, orb 1.38°

    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.

  6. Chiron MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.23°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 89 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 →
