No birth time. Date known, time unknown. Houses and angles cannot be drawn. The wheel below shows the planets, which a date alone can fix to within a degree — but no Ascendant, Midheaven or house cusps, because those move a full circle every twenty-four hours.

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 Leo

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

  2. Moon in Sagittarius

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

  3. Mercury in Virgo

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

  4. Venus in Libra

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

  5. Mars in Virgo

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Virgo

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aries

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo

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

  12. Chiron in Taurus

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Chiron · square, orb 0.11°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  2. Uranus Lilith · sextile, orb 0.30°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Venus Pluto · opposition, orb 1.66°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Pluto Lilith · trine, orb 1.90°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Mercury Chiron · trine, orb 2.30°

    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. Sun True Node · conjunction, orb 2.92°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

The year ahead · 80 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 →
