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 Libra · house 8

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 6

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

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

  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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 2

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

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.03°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Neptune Chiron · trine, orb 0.61°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Chiron AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.55°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Neptune AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.16°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Pluto Chiron · opposition, orb 1.97°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Uranus Chiron · opposition, orb 2.00°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence 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 · 79 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 →
