The sky
on 1 February 1926.
The sign of each planet that day, calculated from astronomical ephemerides (Paris time). When a planet changes sign during the day, the exact time is given: that’s where the birth time decides.
If this is your birth date
What you are trying to become
You step back where others lean in. You look at the rule from outside, and you see what is arbitrary about it. It sometimes reads as coldness.
Aquarius carries water in every drawing, yet it is an air sign: what it pours is ideas. Saturn rules it in the old astrology, Uranus in the new.
You care about everyone, and you want to belong to no one.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
What settles you
You settle by putting things in order. A list, a cupboard, a problem cut into small pieces. Until it is sorted, you keep going back to it.
Mercury rules this sign and is exalted in it, a case unique in the zodiac. The brightest star is Spica, the ear of wheat.
What puts you on alert often comes down to a detail only you have seen.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Virgo, it gets settled in the details. You spot what is off before looking for it, and you say so.
What people see first
It takes your birth time and city.
Why?
The first thing people register about you, before they know you.
What draws you
What draws you resembles nobody else. You often begin with friendship, and you keep your freedom in the middle of the relationship.
What a couple is supposed to be, you would rather decide for yourself.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness. Retrograde at your birth: seen from Earth, the planet was moving backwards. What it governs turns inward first, and shows later than it does in other people.
What gets you moving
You move toward a distant goal, in long strides. You fight for an idea, a conviction, and you lose patience with what seems small to you.
The centre of our galaxy lies in the direction of Sagittarius: look toward the archer, and you are looking at the heart of the Milky Way. Jupiter, the largest planet, rules this sign.
You set off strong, and the road interests you more than the last mile.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.
How you think
You think from your own system. You question the obvious, and you see patterns where others see separate facts.
You can be right years too early, and defend your idea against everyone.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness.
Where you think big
You grow with others, through ideas. A network, a cause, a new way of doing things carry you further than personal success.
Your best openings often come from people you did not know the day before.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness.
Where you hold firm
You hold firm in what hurts. You control what touches you, and you confide nothing easily.
The brightest star of the constellation is Antares: the rival of Mars. Mars rules this sign in the old astrology, Pluto in the new.
You come out of trials with a strength few people see.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go.
What dominates
You need to understand before you feel, and talking about a problem is already part of solving it. Air's known flip side: staying above things instead of deciding.
Why?
We count the ten planets and the rising sign, as in the app.
