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 Virgo · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 3

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 6

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Chiron · trine, orb 0.05°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Sun Uranus · opposition, orb 0.41°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Uranus Pluto · trine, orb 0.64°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  4. Lilith AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.04°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.

  5. Sun Pluto · sextile, orb 1.05°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Mars Lilith · square, orb 1.39°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

The year ahead · 76 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 →
