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 Virgo · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  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 Virgo · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 5

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

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

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 1

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

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

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Lilith · trine, orb 0.23°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  2. Sun True Node · square, orb 0.34°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  3. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.21°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Moon Neptune · opposition, orb 0.47°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges 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 Pluto · trine, orb 0.67°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  6. Uranus True Node · trine, orb 1.16°

    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.

The year ahead · 84 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 →
