The sky
on 5 March 1929.
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 walk into a room and you already know. Who just argued, who is pretending, who would like to leave. Nobody told you: you took it in without choosing to, the way a hand left in water takes its temperature.
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.
That is the question that follows you: what I am feeling right now, is it mine?
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Pisces, it happens by absorption. You take on the mood of a room without choosing to, and sometimes mistake it for your own.
What settles you
You settle by working. A feeling, you file away, to open later. Maybe. People see you holding on, and no one thinks to ask how you are.
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.
The Moon is in exile in this sign: what you feel goes first through what you do.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
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 is what resists a little. You make the first move without calculating, and you say quickly what you want.
The zodiac starts here, at the March equinox. Mars rules this sign, and the Sun is exalted in it.
Venus is in detriment in this sign: you know how to win someone over, and staying takes more effort.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Aries, it starts before it is ready. You decide fast, correct on the move, and waiting costs you more than being wrong. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
What gets you moving
You fight with words. You answer back on the spot, you open ten projects, and you change angle as soon as something jams.
Gemini is Castor and Pollux: one mortal, the other not, inseparable all the same. Mercury, the fastest planet around the Sun, rules this sign.
Your comebacks sometimes hit harder than you meant.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows.
How you think
You think from your own system. You question the obvious, and you see patterns where others see separate facts.
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 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 by accumulating. A good meal, a fine object, an account rising slowly: your confidence needs proof you can touch.
Venus rules this sign. In its constellation shine the Pleiades, seven sisters to the Greeks, visible to the naked eye on winter nights.
Too much is rarely enough for you, and that is where it costs.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it.
Where you hold firm
You want convictions that hold. You doubt for a long time, you check, you build your own view.
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.
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 start faster than most people, and waiting costs you more than doing. Fire's known flip side: starting comes more naturally than finishing.
Why?
We count the ten planets and the rising sign, as in the app.
