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

Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.

  1. Sun in Aquarius · house 5

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

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 4

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 2

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  10. Pluto in Sagittarius · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Lilith in Scorpio · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Uranus · sextile, orb 0.08°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.31°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.24°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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.

  4. Saturn MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.34°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  5. Uranus Neptune · sextile, orb 0.38°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Jupiter Saturn · trine, orb 0.58°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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