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 Sagittarius · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In bearing and first impression.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 11

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Uranus · sextile, orb 0.56°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Chiron AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.88°

    The injury that becomes a competence 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 Chiron · trine, orb 1.32°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  4. Chiron Lilith · square, orb 1.22°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  5. Sun MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.99°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  6. Lilith AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 2.10°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

The year ahead · 99 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 →
