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 Gemini · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 11

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 4

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

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In bearing and first impression.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 12

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.08°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mars Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.68°

    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.

  3. Chiron MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.60°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  4. Venus AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.63°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Jupiter True Node · trine, orb 1.51°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  6. Mercury Jupiter · square, orb 1.93°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 93 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 →
