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 1

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

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In bearing and first impression.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 2

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 7

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

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus True Node · opposition, orb 0.02°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  2. Saturn Pluto · square, orb 0.82°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  3. Neptune True Node · conjunction, orb 1.16°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  4. Uranus Neptune · opposition, orb 1.18°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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. Mars Jupiter · trine, orb 1.51°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  6. Moon Lilith · square, orb 1.77°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 86 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 →
