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 Capricorn · house 5

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

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

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 12

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 6

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 7

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 3

    How you go after what you want.

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 10

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 4

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 5

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 10

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 10

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Lilith in Scorpio · house 3

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Mars · square, orb 0.37°

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

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

  2. Pluto True Node · square, orb 0.47°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  3. Sun Jupiter · trine, orb 1.21°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  4. Moon Lilith · square, orb 1.57°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mars Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.94°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Lilith AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.29°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
