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 Libra · house 7

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 11

    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.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 7

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 8

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 1

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 12

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 7

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 6

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 7

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 10

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Lilith in Aquarius · house 12

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Saturn · opposition, orb 0.64°

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

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

  2. Lilith MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.53°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Sun Pluto · sextile, orb 1.20°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Jupiter True Node · sextile, orb 1.17°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Mercury Lilith · trine, orb 2.47°

    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.

  6. Moon Mercury · square, orb 2.93°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on obstruct each other.

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