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 Taurus · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, 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.

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 12

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

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  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 Gemini · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.

The tightest aspects

  1. Lilith AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.02°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mars Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.26°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Venus True Node · conjunction, orb 0.37°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mercury MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.90°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Sun Moon · trine, orb 1.80°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.

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

  6. Saturn Lilith · sextile, orb 2.00°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The year ahead · 83 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 →
