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 Aquarius · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 8

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

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 3

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 1

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

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 5

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

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Saturn · square, orb 0.08°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  2. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 0.12°

    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.

  3. Sun True Node · opposition, orb 0.18°

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

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

  4. Saturn True Node · square, orb 0.26°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.

  5. Sun MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.61°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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. Saturn MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.53°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.

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 →
