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 Capricorn · house 1

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, 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.

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 9

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  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 by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 5

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 12

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 7

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 7

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 2

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aquarius · house 1

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 8

    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.

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

  12. Lilith in Aries · house 3

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Lilith · sextile, orb 0.01°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Venus Saturn · sextile, orb 0.18°

    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.

  3. Mercury Neptune · opposition, orb 0.66°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Mercury Pluto · trine, orb 0.77°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  5. Pluto MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.24°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.

  6. True Node AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.82°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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