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.
☉ Sun in Pisces · house 5
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 5
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.05°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.04°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.22°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.30°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.30°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 3.38°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
