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 Pisces · house 9

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 7

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 9

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 10

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 10

    How you go after what you want.

    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 Taurus · house 11

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 4

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 3

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 11

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 5

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 9

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 5

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.10°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Mars Saturn · opposition, orb 0.14°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  3. Neptune Pluto · trine, orb 0.42°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  4. Uranus MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.50°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  5. Lilith AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.47°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  6. Venus Uranus · opposition, orb 0.61°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

The year ahead · 72 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 →
