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 Capricorn · house 6

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 6

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 6

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 7

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 9

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 10

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 10

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 10

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 2

    Where the edges go soft.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 2

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 12

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 10

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Chiron · opposition, orb 0.05°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Moon MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.20°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  3. Chiron MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.25°

    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. Moon Jupiter · trine, orb 0.48°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  5. Pluto Lilith · sextile, orb 0.41°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Sun Uranus · trine, orb 0.82°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

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 →
