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 Leo · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 6

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

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 10

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

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 10

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

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

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.

The tightest aspects

  1. Pluto Chiron · trine, orb 0.11°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Jupiter True Node · square, orb 0.14°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  3. Mars Lilith · opposition, orb 0.29°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Uranus Neptune · opposition, orb 0.51°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  5. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.30°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 2.57°

    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 · 88 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 →
