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 Virgo · house 8

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 4

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

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 8

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 8

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

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  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 Libra · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

The tightest aspects

  1. Chiron AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.13°

    The injury that becomes a competence 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.

  2. Saturn MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.37°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Jupiter True Node · sextile, orb 0.50°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Venus Neptune · sextile, orb 0.79°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.68°

    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.

  6. Moon Uranus · opposition, orb 1.45°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works 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 · 85 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 →
