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 Taurus · house 8

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 5

    What makes you feel safe.

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

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 8

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 9

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 4

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 10

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 10

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 1

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 2

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 4

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 3

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus Neptune · square, orb 0.01°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  2. Venus Neptune · trine, orb 0.26°

    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. Sun Moon · sextile, orb 0.50°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mars Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.41°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Sun Lilith · trine, orb 1.76°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  6. Sun Mars · square, orb 2.10°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 99 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 →
