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 Leo · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 2

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 12

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Pluto AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.12°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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. Moon Neptune · opposition, orb 0.29°

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

  3. Sun Mars · square, orb 0.39°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  4. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.70°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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.

  5. Pluto MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.82°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Jupiter Chiron · trine, orb 0.97°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

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 →
