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 Leo · house 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 9
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.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.03°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.10°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.13°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.32°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.59°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.73°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
