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 · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 6

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

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 3

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Saturn · sextile, orb 0.13°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mercury MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.16°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Neptune True Node · square, orb 0.22°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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 AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.60°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Mars True Node · conjunction, orb 0.58°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  6. Sun Chiron · trine, orb 0.66°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 83 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 →
