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 Virgo · house 6

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

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

  2. Moon in Libra · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 6

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

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 7

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  10. Pluto in Libra · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune True Node · trine, orb 0.05°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  2. Sun Neptune · square, orb 0.11°

    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. Sun Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.72°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Jupiter Neptune · square, orb 0.61°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  5. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.51°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Pluto True Node · sextile, orb 0.56°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.

The year ahead · 93 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 →
