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 Cancer · house 12

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

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

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 6

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 1

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 11

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 11

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 11

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 7

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 3

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 10

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  10. Pluto in Aquarius · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 3

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Lilith in Pisces · house 8

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.14°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  2. Saturn Neptune · square, orb 0.17°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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. Venus MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.38°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mercury Venus · sextile, orb 0.52°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  5. Venus Lilith · square, orb 0.89°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  6. Sun Mars · sextile, orb 1.37°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
