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 · house 10

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

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 4

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the public record of a life.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 9

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

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

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.10°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mercury Mars · square, orb 0.44°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  3. Moon Uranus · square, orb 0.52°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  4. Pluto True Node · conjunction, orb 0.49°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.

  5. Venus Chiron · square, orb 0.60°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  6. Sun Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.10°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

The year ahead · 87 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 →
