I am no expert at astrology, but even with my limited I see that you have a good balance of energies in your chart...your planets are spread around fairly evenly with no tight clusters; even your house cusps are about the same size!
The most prominent configuration is a T-square consisting of an opposition between your first house Jupiter in Libra (on the cusp of Scorpio) and your seventh house Saturn in Taurus, both square your moon in Capricorn. Observing others provide natal chart interpretations on the forums, I have often found it insightful to include the sabian symbol of the point opposite the apex planet of a T-square or yod, as much of the energy of the configuration tends to manifest there. Your moon in located at 23 Capricorn 32'31" which can be rounded up to 24 degrees. The twelve signs of the zodiac can be thought of as consiting of twelve pairs, which I will list below:
Aries - Libra
Taurus - Scorpio
Gemini - Saggitarius
Cancer - Capricorn
Leo - Aquarius
Virgo - Pisces
As you can see from the chart, the polar opposite sign of Capricorn is Cancer. Therefore, I will look up the sabian degree for 24 Cancer to provide some insight into your T-square.
114__(24°)
WOMAN AND TWO MEN CASTAWAYS ON A SOUTH SEAS ISLAND The three "souls" in man-factional, emotional, mental -"exiled" in the body. Potential fulfillment. Sense of being lost in life.
___*When positive, the degree is an unusual gift for organizing and exploiting the self's potentials, and when negative, a devastating sense of ineptitude and estrangement from reality.
By the way, you can use the
sabian symbol reference site to understand more about the placement of each of your natal planets...just remember to always round up one degree, and do not take the opposite point for your initial interpretation.
I hope this helps...this is one of my first real attempts at interpretation, so bear with me here
EDIT: I am feeling particularly generous tonight, so I will save you the trouble of looking up the sabian symbols yourself.

I also have a Pisces North Node, except mine is located in the twelfth house, thus exaggerating its effect. I have recently purchased Jan Spiller's
Astrology for the Soul (I highly recommend it!) and this is what it has to say about opposing sign/house positions:
Opposing Sign/House Positions
(This includes North Node in Aries in the 7th house; North Node in Taurus in the 8th House; North Nod ein Gemini in the 9th House; North Node in Cancer in the 10th house; North Node in Leo in the 11th House; North Node in Virgo in the 12th House; North Node in Libra in the 1st House; North Node in Scorpio in the 2nd House; North Node in Sagittarius in the 3rd House; Norht Node in Capricorn in the 4th House; Norht Node in Aquarius in the 5th House; North Node in Pisces in the 6th House.)
If your North Node is in a house opposing the sign of your Norht Node (as noted above) it will be nesessary for you to carefully and continuously check with yourself to find the right blending of behavior. Remember that generally, the house indicates where to learn the lessons of the sign. The house is like a shell--the environment you need to support the content of the sign.
For example, if you Norht Node is in Aries in the 7th House, you are learning to develop a new sense of self-identity (North Node in Aries) through becoming aware of the identity of others (North Node in the 7th House). Through working cooperatively with other people and supporting them in reaching their goals, you will discover your own true identity. However, when you turn that around and focus on yourself, you lose your identity in trying to please others and be the nice person they expect you to be. In this case, the key to self-identity would actually lie in helping others in their search for identity.

I should probably include the sabian symbols for four main angles in your natal chart--the Ascendant (AC), the Descendant (DC), the Midheaven (MC), and the Nadir (IC).

I believe that Kite also has this sabian degree someplace in his natal chart...it seems you were meant to stumble upon this forum. Welcome aboard! :mrgreen:

I appologize if any of these degrees are incorrect...it is past midnight in my time zone right now, but I am so enthusiastic that I cannot sleep!

P.S. I have one final observation before I get some much-needed rest...you have several planets that share the same degree but in different signs, such as Jupiter at 30 Libra and Neptune at 30 Scorpio, and Mars at 28 Aquarius and Pluto at 28 Virgo. I know that this is signficant and there was a board discussing this not too long ago, but alas I am too tired to search for it and provide a link. Perhaps I'll finish this thread in the morning
