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 Leo · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Libra · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Uranus · sextile, orb 0.04°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Saturn · square, orb 0.12°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  3. Sun AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.29°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  4. Moon Mars · conjunction, orb 1.49°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Pluto True Node · square, orb 1.15°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  6. Venus Neptune · square, orb 1.33°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

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 →
