Pope Alexander VII
AAChiron 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 Aquarius · house 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 5 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 8 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.25°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.23°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.49°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♅ Uranus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.48°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.93°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.98°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
