Chiron not shown. The asteroid data files begin in 1200 and this birth is earlier, so there is no position to draw. Nothing else on the wheel is affected — the planets come from a different set of files that reaches much further back.

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 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 8

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

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 10

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

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  12. 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. Moon Venus · sextile, orb 0.22°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mars Lilith · opposition, orb 1.03°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Jupiter MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.28°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  4. Moon AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 2.17°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Mercury Lilith · opposition, orb 2.12°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Venus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.94°

    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.
