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 Aries · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 11

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 1

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

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

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.04°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  2. Mercury Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.14°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Jupiter AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.16°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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. Mars Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.27°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Mercury Mars · conjunction, orb 0.41°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. True Node Lilith · square, orb 0.31°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 87 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 →
