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 Aries · house 1

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

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 2

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

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 1

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

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 1

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

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 11

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 1

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

    In bearing and first impression.

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In bearing and first impression.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus Chiron · trine, orb 0.20°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Pluto MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.27°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  3. Sun Jupiter · square, orb 0.42°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  4. Uranus True Node · sextile, orb 0.30°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. True Node Chiron · opposition, orb 0.50°

    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. Sun MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.10°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 86 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 →
