No birth time. Date known, time unknown. Houses and angles cannot be drawn. The wheel below shows the planets, which a date alone can fix to within a degree — but no Ascendant, Midheaven or house cusps, because those move a full circle every twenty-four hours.

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 Leo

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

  2. Moon in Leo

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

  3. Mercury in Virgo

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

  4. Venus in Leo

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

  5. Mars in Gemini

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius

    Where you want more room.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Pisces

    The strict teacher you thank later.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Pisces

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aries

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces

    The sore spot you end up good at.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Uranus · square, orb 0.10°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  2. Venus Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.36°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  3. Sun Neptune · trine, orb 1.18°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  4. Moon Saturn · trine, orb 1.34°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  5. Pluto Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.20°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Saturn Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.32°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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 · 68 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 →
