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 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 10

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

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 10

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

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 6

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

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

    In the public record of a life.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus True Node · sextile, orb 0.03°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mercury Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.25°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Venus Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.73°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 0.98°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Lilith MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.03°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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. Mars Pluto · trine, orb 1.47°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 88 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 →
