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 Capricorn · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 4

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 7

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

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 8

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.05°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Sun Mars · opposition, orb 0.29°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Pluto AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.23°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  4. Lilith AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.25°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  5. Venus MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.40°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Venus AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.76°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 75 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 →
