The sky
on 28 December 1927.
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 aim far, and you demand a lot of yourself. What you make, you want still standing in ten years. Credit, you give yourself late.
Capricorn begins at the December solstice, the day the Sun turns back. Its symbol is a sea goat: half mountain, half ocean. Saturn rules it.
People think you feel nothing. You have simply already planned next year.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late.
What settles you
Your birth time settles it.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision.
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 has a secret. Lightness bores you fast: you need someone who holds your gaze and does not lie.
The brightest star of the constellation is Antares: the rival of Mars. Mars rules this sign in the old astrology, Pluto in the new.
Venus is in detriment in this sign. You give all or nothing, and you do not forget who betrayed you.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
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 wide. You see the general meaning before the details, and you prefer a big idea to a small proof.
Mercury is in detriment in this sign: you say what you believe before you have checked.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
Where you think big
You grow by letting go. An intuition, an uncalculated gesture, help given without counting come back by paths you did not plan.
Pisces closes the zodiac. Two fish swim in opposite directions, tied by a cord. The star that makes the knot is called Alrescha: “the cord”, in Arabic.
Jupiter rules this sign in the tradition. Your trust needs limits so it does not dissolve.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Pisces, it happens by absorption. You take on the mood of a room without choosing to, and sometimes mistake it for your own. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
Where you hold firm
You want convictions that hold. You doubt for a long time, you check, you build your own view.
What you believe, you have paid for, and you hold to it.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.
What dominates
You feel before you understand, and your memory files moments by what they did to you, not by their dates. Water's known flip side: absorbing moods that are not yours.
Why?
We count the ten planets and the rising sign, as in the app.
