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 Taurus · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 11

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.40°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Sun Saturn · trine, orb 0.42°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.27°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Moon Mars · trine, orb 0.87°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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

  5. Mercury Chiron · trine, orb 0.89°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  6. Mars Saturn · trine, orb 0.99°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

The year ahead · 88 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 →
