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 Aquarius · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 1

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  11. True Node in Aries · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 4

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

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

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Moon · sextile, orb 0.15°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Uranus Neptune · sextile, orb 0.27°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mercury Venus · sextile, orb 0.54°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Uranus Lilith · trine, orb 0.70°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Neptune Lilith · opposition, orb 0.96°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Jupiter MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.34°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

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 →
