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 11

    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.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 5

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 11

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 12

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 12

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 7

    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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 3

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 4

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 10

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 2

    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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 4

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

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

    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 Pisces · house 9

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Lilith · trine, orb 0.31°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  2. Venus True Node · trine, orb 0.39°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  3. Neptune Pluto · trine, orb 0.40°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  4. Moon Jupiter · square, orb 0.99°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  5. True Node AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.00°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  6. Uranus MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.41°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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