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 Leo · house 8

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 11

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 8

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 9

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 11

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 11

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 3

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 5

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 9

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

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

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

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 2

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 7

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 9

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Jupiter · square, orb 0.11°

    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.

  2. Sun AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.23°

    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.

  3. Neptune Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.36°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mars Uranus · opposition, orb 0.41°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Chiron AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.43°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything 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 Chiron · sextile, orb 0.66°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The year ahead · 73 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 →
