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 Gemini · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, 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.

  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 Gemini · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 5

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

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

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    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 Pisces · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.04°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Saturn Chiron · square, orb 0.79°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  3. Venus Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.15°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Saturn Lilith · sextile, orb 0.84°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Mars Uranus · opposition, orb 1.55°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  6. Moon Venus · conjunction, orb 2.20°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

The year ahead · 91 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 →
