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 Libra · house 8

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 8

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

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.19°

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

  2. Moon Lilith · sextile, orb 0.30°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 0.73°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  4. Chiron MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.58°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  5. Pluto Lilith · sextile, orb 0.43°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Moon Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.00°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

The year ahead · 93 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 →
