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 Virgo · house 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 7 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 6 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.14°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☉ Sun ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 0.21°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☊ True Node △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.32°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.58°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.87°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.09°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
