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 Taurus · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 11

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

  10. Pluto in Aquarius · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Lilith in Pisces · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Mars · sextile, orb 0.15°

    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.

  2. Sun Pluto · square, orb 0.30°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  3. Mars Saturn · trine, orb 0.55°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  4. Moon Saturn · opposition, orb 0.70°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  5. Sun True Node · trine, orb 0.89°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  6. Jupiter Neptune · square, orb 0.98°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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