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 Capricorn · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 12

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

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

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In bearing and first impression.

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 4

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

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

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus Chiron · square, orb 0.26°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  2. Pluto MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.37°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Moon True Node · square, orb 0.54°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  4. Moon Uranus · square, orb 0.61°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  5. Sun Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.57°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Moon Chiron · opposition, orb 0.87°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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 · 87 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 →
