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 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 2

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

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  5. Mars in Aries · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 5

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

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

  12. Chiron in Scorpio · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In bearing and first impression.

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.10°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mercury Jupiter · trine, orb 0.12°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  3. Chiron AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.18°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mars Saturn · trine, orb 1.00°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  5. Neptune Lilith · square, orb 0.94°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  6. Lilith AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.43°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

The year ahead · 91 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 →
