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 Aquarius · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 8

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

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 1

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Neptune · opposition, orb 0.03°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  2. Moon Neptune · square, orb 0.08°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  3. Uranus Pluto · trine, orb 0.08°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  4. Moon Venus · square, orb 0.11°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.

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

  5. True Node Chiron · opposition, orb 0.10°

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

  6. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.68°

    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.

The year ahead · 90 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 →
