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 8

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

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 7

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

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  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.

  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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.14°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Saturn Chiron · sextile, orb 0.28°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Jupiter AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.44°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  4. Sun Saturn · sextile, orb 0.42°

    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. Mars Neptune · opposition, orb 0.57°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.

  6. Saturn MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.51°

    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 · 87 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 →
