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 Libra · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  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 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 by backing itself, publicly.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  11. True Node in Libra · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.27°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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. Neptune Chiron · trine, orb 0.28°

    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. Neptune Lilith · opposition, orb 0.34°

    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.

  4. Sun Chiron · trine, orb 0.46°

    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.

  5. True Node MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.40°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  6. Sun Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.74°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

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 →
