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 Taurus · house 7

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Libra · house 12

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 8

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 7

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 9

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 4

    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.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 12

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 10

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 12

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 4

    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.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 3

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Pluto · square, orb 0.23°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  2. Moon Pluto · sextile, orb 0.41°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Venus Uranus · square, orb 0.49°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  4. Jupiter Saturn · trine, orb 0.73°

    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.

  5. Neptune True Node · trine, orb 0.83°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  6. Venus Lilith · trine, orb 1.06°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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