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 Aquarius · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Chiron · square, orb 0.00°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  2. Venus Neptune · opposition, orb 0.32°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Neptune Chiron · square, orb 0.32°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  4. Mercury AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.46°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Jupiter MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.31°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Saturn Neptune · opposition, orb 0.49°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges 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 · 77 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 →
