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 Aquarius · house 3
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.04°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.28°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.45°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.74°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.01°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.56°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
