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 Capricorn · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 9

    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.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 11

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 7

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  10. Pluto in Libra · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  12. Lilith in Pisces · house 12

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Pluto · trine, orb 0.07°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  2. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.37°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Moon Mars · sextile, orb 0.33°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.48°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. True Node MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.41°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.

  6. Mercury AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.85°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
