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 1

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

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 12

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

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 3

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

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

  11. True Node in Aries · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In bearing and first impression.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Pluto Chiron · sextile, orb 0.22°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Lilith · sextile, orb 0.46°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Venus Pluto · square, orb 0.62°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  4. Mercury Neptune · trine, orb 0.76°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  5. Sun Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.99°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Jupiter Uranus · square, orb 0.79°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 84 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 →
