Dirty data. Two or more conflicting times on record. Not reliable. The wheel below shows the planets, which a date alone can fix to within a degree — but no Ascendant, Midheaven or house cusps, because those move a full circle every twenty-four hours.
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.
☉ Sun in Leo
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
☽ Moon in Leo
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
☿ Mercury in Virgo ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Virgo
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
♂ Mars in Virgo
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
♅ Uranus in Pisces ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
♇ Pluto in Cancer
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
☊ True Node in Leo ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.67°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 1.11°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
⚷ Chiron ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.07°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.47°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 1.47°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 2.54°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
