Hippolyt von Bray-Steinburg
XNo birth time. Date known, time unknown. Houses and angles cannot be drawn. The wheel below shows the planets, which a date alone can fix to within a degree — but no Ascendant, Midheaven or house cusps, because those move a full circle every twenty-four hours.
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
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.
☽ Moon in Capricorn
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.
☿ Mercury in Leo
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.
♀ Venus in Libra
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
♂ Mars in Leo
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries ℞
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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn ℞
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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.52°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♇ Pluto ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.31°
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.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 1.72°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 1.70°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.65°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 2.45°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
