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 Sagittarius · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 7

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

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 11

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Chiron · trine, orb 0.25°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Venus Neptune · trine, orb 0.48°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  3. Neptune Lilith · trine, orb 0.66°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  4. Venus Lilith · trine, orb 1.14°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Venus Uranus · trine, orb 1.42°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  6. Sun Chiron · trine, orb 1.99°

    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 · 92 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 →
