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 Pisces · house 4

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

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 7

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 1

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

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

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 8

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Pluto · square, orb 0.15°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  2. Pluto True Node · square, orb 0.15°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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. Neptune True Node · opposition, orb 0.30°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Mercury Uranus · square, orb 0.44°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  5. Venus Mars · trine, orb 0.53°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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

  6. Sun AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.62°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 80 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 →
