The sky
on 9 November 1941.
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 watch for a long time before committing. You already know a lot about people while they think they are still finding you out. Then you do not let go.
The brightest star of the constellation is Antares: the rival of Mars. Mars rules this sign in the old astrology, Pluto in the new.
Everything plays out fully and in private. What you forgive, you do not forget.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go.
What settles you
You settle when everyone is home. You remember every word, every birthday, what was forgotten. Your mood follows that of your people.
Cancer begins at the June solstice, the day the Sun stops and turns back. The Moon rules this sign.
The Moon is at home in this sign. It changes shape every night, and so do you.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Cancer, it goes through who is present first. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
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 proved itself. You look at how someone keeps their promises before you look at the rest, and you take your time.
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.
You love seriously, and it shows in time more than in words.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late.
What gets you moving
You react before you have finished thinking. An obstacle wakes you up, a wait wears you down. Your anger rises fast and drops just as fast.
The zodiac starts here, at the March equinox. Mars rules this sign, and the Sun is exalted in it.
Mars rules this sign. You prefer an open conflict to a week of hints.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Aries, it starts before it is ready. You decide fast, correct on the move, and waiting costs you more than being wrong. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything. 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.
How you think
You think by comparing. You see the other side of every argument, and you say so, sometimes just when you are expected to decide.
Libra is the only sign of the zodiac that isn’t a living thing: it is an instrument. It weighs, and it stops only when both pans are level.
You find the wording that upsets nobody. Your own opinion comes later.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs.
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 build so as to lack nothing. You count, you set aside, you prefer little and solid.
Venus rules this sign. In its constellation shine the Pleiades, seven sisters to the Greeks, visible to the naked eye on winter nights.
The fear of going without gives you your patience.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it. 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.
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?
