The sky
on 14 December 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 need a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.
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 go farther than planned, and it is rarely an accident.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.
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 comes from elsewhere. Another language, another accent, a way of seeing you did not know. You like the door left open.
People keep you by leaving with you, never by holding you back.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.
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.
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 in plans. You go to what is useful, you say little, and you only talk about what you have checked.
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.
Your humour is dry, and it takes a moment to notice.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late.
Where you think big
You grow by learning. A book, a meeting, one more subject: your best doors open through talking.
Gemini is Castor and Pollux: one mortal, the other not, inseparable all the same. Mercury, the fastest planet around the Sun, rules this sign.
Jupiter is in detriment in this sign: you know many things, less often where they lead.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason. 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.
Where you hold firm
You know what lasting means. You aim high, you move slowly, and you carry more than your share.
Saturn rules this sign. Rest, for you, has to be learned too.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
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.

What’s missing without the time
The rising sign, the houses and the exact degree of each planet depend on the time and place: the rising sign changes about every two hours. Add them in the calculator, or find your full chart in the app.
