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 Aries · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  11. True Node in Libra · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Pluto True Node · opposition, orb 0.15°

    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.

  2. Sun Neptune · square, orb 0.20°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  3. Venus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.45°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  4. Sun MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.26°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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. Mercury Saturn · trine, orb 1.32°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  6. Uranus True Node · trine, orb 1.44°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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 · 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 →
