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 Cancer · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 5

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

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 2

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

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Neptune · square, orb 0.10°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  2. Sun Moon · opposition, orb 1.05°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Moon Neptune · square, orb 1.15°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  4. Mars Pluto · square, orb 1.50°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  5. Mars True Node · sextile, orb 1.15°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Mercury Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.88°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

The year ahead · 88 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 →
