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 10

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

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 9

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

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

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the public record of a life.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Venus · conjunction, orb 0.22°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  2. Uranus Lilith · sextile, orb 0.28°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Jupiter AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.86°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  4. Mercury AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.93°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  5. Mercury Mars · trine, orb 1.31°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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

  6. True Node Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.63°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

The year ahead · 83 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 →
