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 Aquarius · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 8

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 11

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 4

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  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.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.15°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  2. Sun Mars · trine, orb 0.25°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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

  3. Sun Jupiter · trine, orb 0.45°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  4. Sun MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.59°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Mars Jupiter · trine, orb 0.70°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  6. Moon Saturn · sextile, orb 0.70°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The year ahead · 85 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 →
