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 Cancer · house 8

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 4

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

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 8

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 12

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 4

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

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

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 5

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

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

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Chiron · sextile, orb 0.09°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.27°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Moon Lilith · sextile, orb 0.23°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Jupiter AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.29°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  5. Mars Chiron · square, orb 0.49°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  6. Sun Jupiter · trine, orb 0.56°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

The year ahead · 89 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 →
