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 Taurus · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 12

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

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  11. True Node in Aries · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter True Node · square, orb 0.17°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  2. Moon AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.23°

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

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

  3. Pluto Lilith · trine, orb 0.35°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  4. Saturn MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.72°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Sun Neptune · trine, orb 1.14°

    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.

  6. Neptune AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.06°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 78 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 →
