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.
☉ Sun in Libra · house 4
The drive to be someone in particular, 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.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the daily traffic of information.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.33°
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.
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.38°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.53°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.01°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.37°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
