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 2

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

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 2

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

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Aries · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Neptune · trine, orb 0.05°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  2. Mars True Node · opposition, orb 0.27°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Moon Saturn · square, orb 0.83°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  4. Chiron Lilith · trine, orb 0.78°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Sun Uranus · square, orb 1.57°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  6. Mercury True Node · trine, orb 1.84°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

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 →
