The sky
on 9 April 1931.
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 have already started. While others weigh it up, you move on the first idea and correct as you go.
The zodiac starts here, at the March equinox. Mars rules this sign, and the Sun is exalted in it.
Waiting costs you more than being wrong. The real question is what you finish.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Aries, it starts before it is ready. You decide fast, correct on the move, and waiting costs you more than being wrong. Received as a guest of honour: amplified, sometimes past reason. A strength to dose, not to prove.
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, you feel before you understand. You sense what the other person lacks, and you give without keeping count.
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.
Venus is in exaltation in this sign. Your difficulty is seeing the person as they are.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Pisces, it happens by absorption. You take on the mood of a room without choosing to, and sometimes mistake it for your own. Received as a guest of honour: amplified, sometimes past reason. A strength to dose, not to prove.
What gets you moving
You move when it is worth it, and it shows. You like to lead, to defend, to stand in front. What wounds your pride gets you going.
The Sun rules this sign: the only body in the chart that makes its own light. The brightest star of the constellation is Regulus, “the little king”.
You work better when somebody is watching.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
How you think
You think slowly and you retain everything. You need something concrete: an example, a figure, something to handle.
Venus rules this sign. In its constellation shine the Pleiades, seven sisters to the Greeks, visible to the naked eye on winter nights.
Once your mind is made up, arguing with it is a waste of time.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it.
Where you think big
You grow by welcoming. A full table, an open house, someone to protect: that is where you feel rich.
Cancer begins at the June solstice, the day the Sun stops and turns back. The Moon rules this sign.
Jupiter is in exaltation in this sign. Your generosity sometimes looks after everyone except you.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Cancer, it goes through who is present first. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything. Received as a guest of honour: amplified, sometimes past reason. A strength to dose, not to prove.
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 isn’t there
There is no air in your chart. Not one point, out of the 10 we count.
Analysis is not your first reflex: what you know, you know from direct experience — explaining it comes later, when it comes at all.
Why?
We count the ten planets and the rising sign, as in the app.
