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 Aquarius · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 2

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

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 12

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

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

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  11. True Node in Libra · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Mars · opposition, orb 0.04°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Moon Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.19°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Mars Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.23°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Saturn Pluto · opposition, orb 0.34°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Moon Chiron · trine, orb 0.51°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  6. Mars Chiron · sextile, orb 0.47°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The year ahead · 81 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 →
