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 Pisces · house 12

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

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 7

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 0.38°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  2. True Node Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.43°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Uranus Neptune · trine, orb 0.56°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  4. Moon Saturn · opposition, orb 0.96°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  5. Saturn Pluto · sextile, orb 0.58°

    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.

  6. Venus Neptune · opposition, orb 1.21°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges 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 · 87 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 →
