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 Virgo · house 8

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 11

    What makes you feel safe.

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 8

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 8

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 8

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 4

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 7

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 7

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 8

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 8

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Lilith in Libra · house 9

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.07°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun True Node · conjunction, orb 0.47°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Venus True Node · conjunction, orb 1.22°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Venus Jupiter · trine, orb 1.21°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  5. Sun Venus · conjunction, orb 1.70°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Moon Venus · square, orb 1.65°

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

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