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 10

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

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 10

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 12

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 7

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

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

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.09°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  2. Pluto True Node · conjunction, orb 0.18°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Mercury Venus · sextile, orb 0.50°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Sun Saturn · sextile, orb 0.77°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  5. Moon AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.24°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  6. Venus Saturn · square, orb 1.23°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

The year ahead · 78 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 →
