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

Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.

  1. Sun in Pisces · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 4

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

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  10. Pluto in Scorpio · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Lilith in Gemini · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.09°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mercury True Node · square, orb 0.32°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  3. Sun Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.45°

    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. Venus Saturn · sextile, orb 0.58°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  5. Sun Moon · opposition, orb 1.13°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Sun MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.05°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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