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 Taurus · house 2

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

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 3

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 1

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

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

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 4

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Pluto · square, orb 0.19°

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

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

  2. Lilith AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.22°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.

  3. Moon AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.39°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  4. Sun Jupiter · trine, orb 0.97°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  5. Moon Jupiter · trine, orb 1.90°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  6. Pluto Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.71°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

The year ahead · 83 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 →
