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 Scorpio · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  10. Pluto in Sagittarius · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Lilith in Gemini · house 11

    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. Mars Saturn · square, orb 0.36°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  2. Moon True Node · trine, orb 1.45°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  3. Sun Venus · conjunction, orb 1.68°

    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.

  4. Mercury Lilith · trine, orb 1.56°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Moon Jupiter · square, orb 1.87°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  6. Mars True Node · conjunction, orb 2.32°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
