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 Aquarius · house 6

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 5

    What makes you feel safe.

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

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 6

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 5

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 4

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 4

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 4

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 2

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 9

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  10. Pluto in Aquarius · house 7

    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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 6

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  12. Lilith in Gemini · house 11

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.01°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  2. Sun AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.45°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Venus Uranus · trine, orb 1.56°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  4. Moon Uranus · square, orb 1.80°

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

  5. Mercury Mars · sextile, orb 1.24°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Mercury Neptune · square, orb 2.00°

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

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