Placidus houses

Chiron not shown. The asteroid data files begin in 1200 and this birth is earlier, so there is no position to draw. Nothing else on the wheel is affected — the planets come from a different set of files that reaches much further back.

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 Taurus · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 8

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In bearing and first impression.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 6

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

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

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 2

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

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Lilith in Aries · house 3

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

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.26°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Saturn Lilith · square, orb 1.12°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  3. Pluto True Node · conjunction, orb 1.24°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mercury Neptune · square, orb 1.26°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  5. Jupiter Neptune · square, orb 1.19°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  6. Jupiter Uranus · trine, orb 1.28°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 85 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 →
