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 Virgo · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 6

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

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In bearing and first impression.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 4

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

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon True Node · opposition, orb 0.20°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  2. Sun Chiron · opposition, orb 0.21°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Pluto Lilith · opposition, orb 0.20°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Mars Uranus · trine, orb 0.31°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  5. Venus Pluto · square, orb 0.42°

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

  6. Venus Lilith · square, orb 0.62°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 83 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 →
