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 Aries · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 2

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

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  5. Mars in Aries · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 5

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

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

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In bearing and first impression.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.10°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  2. Sun Mars · conjunction, orb 0.24°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Pluto AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.33°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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. Venus Neptune · sextile, orb 0.42°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Lilith MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.70°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.

  6. Uranus Lilith · square, orb 0.80°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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 · 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 →
