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 Cancer · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 4

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

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 6

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 4

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

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 5

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

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 11

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 4

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

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 12

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

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

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Chiron · trine, orb 0.20°

    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.

  2. Saturn Pluto · sextile, orb 0.35°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mars Lilith · sextile, orb 0.45°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Sun Venus · conjunction, orb 0.88°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Sun True Node · trine, orb 1.14°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  6. Jupiter AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.02°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 80 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 →
