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 Pisces · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Libra · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 12

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6

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

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 11

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

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.03°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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. Sun Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.69°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.72°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  4. Mercury Lilith · sextile, orb 0.54°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Neptune Lilith · trine, orb 1.03°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  6. Mercury Jupiter · square, orb 1.26°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 79 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 →
