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 12

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

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 10

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

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

  11. True Node in Leo · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    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 Cancer · house 10

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.04°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  2. Venus Jupiter · square, orb 0.43°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  3. Mars Jupiter · trine, orb 0.44°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  4. Chiron Lilith · square, orb 0.75°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mercury Chiron · trine, orb 1.16°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  6. Jupiter Pluto · opposition, orb 1.58°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived 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 · 86 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 →
