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 Taurus · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In bearing and first impression.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Mercury · sextile, orb 0.04°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Jupiter Chiron · trine, orb 0.11°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Moon Neptune · square, orb 0.32°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  4. Moon True Node · trine, orb 0.36°

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

  5. Mercury True Node · sextile, orb 0.39°

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

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Venus Mars · sextile, orb 0.45°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

The year ahead · 98 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 →
