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 Pisces · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 1

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

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In bearing and first impression.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 1

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

    In bearing and first impression.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 7

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 2

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.13°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.15°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Mercury Pluto · square, orb 1.01°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  4. Pluto AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.12°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Venus Pluto · sextile, orb 0.88°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Lilith MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.33°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

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 →
