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 Leo · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 4

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

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Sagittarius · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Lilith · opposition, orb 0.01°

    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.

  2. Mars Neptune · square, orb 0.05°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  3. Mars Lilith · square, orb 0.06°

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

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

  4. Sun True Node · trine, orb 0.64°

    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.

  5. Moon Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.91°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Mercury Uranus · sextile, orb 0.92°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The year ahead · 84 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 →
