The sky
on 14 April 1937.
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 talking. A worry put into words already weighs less, and someone to write to beats an hour alone with it.
Gemini is Castor and Pollux: one mortal, the other not, inseparable all the same. Mercury, the fastest planet around the Sun, rules this sign.
Silence, for you, is nothing like rest.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows.
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
Your birth time settles it.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste.
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 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 slowly, floor by floor. A title, a responsibility, a project that takes ten years: you believe in what lasts.
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.
Jupiter is in its fall in this sign: your optimism asks for proof.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late. Opposite its exaltation: weakened ground. Not a sentence — a place where you learn what others take for granted.
Where you hold firm
You set limits on what overflows. Your feelings and dreams need a frame, and you learned that the hard way.
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.
Your sensitivity, once held, becomes a real strength.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. 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 dominates
You trust what can be verified — a plan, a number, a proof. Earth's known flip side: change requires a serious reason, never a passing urge.
Why?
We count the ten planets and the rising sign, as in the app.
