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 Libra · house 8

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 7

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

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Pluto · trine, orb 0.03°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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. Sun Moon · sextile, orb 0.27°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mercury True Node · square, orb 0.46°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  4. Moon Chiron · trine, orb 0.57°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  5. Sun Chiron · opposition, orb 0.85°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Mars Lilith · square, orb 1.19°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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 · 91 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 →
