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 Taurus · house 8

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 8

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 7

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

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

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 10

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

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

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.01°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  2. Uranus True Node · trine, orb 0.04°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  3. Mercury Saturn · sextile, orb 0.60°

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

  4. Neptune Chiron · square, orb 0.88°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  5. Sun Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.75°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  6. Sun True Node · trine, orb 1.72°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

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 →
