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 Cancer · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Aries · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 11

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 6

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

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

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Jupiter · square, orb 0.09°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  2. Venus Uranus · trine, orb 0.39°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  3. Moon MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.71°

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

  4. Venus Mars · opposition, orb 1.04°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Pluto True Node · opposition, orb 1.17°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.

  6. Jupiter Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.30°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

The year ahead · 86 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 →
