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 Pisces · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 10

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the public record of a life.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Pluto · trine, orb 0.05°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  2. Moon Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.13°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Saturn Chiron · trine, orb 0.16°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  4. Sun Moon · conjunction, orb 1.12°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 1.07°

    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. Mars AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.97°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

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 →
