The sky
on 19 January 1944.
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 aim far, and you demand a lot of yourself. What you make, you want still standing in ten years. Credit, you give yourself late.
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.
People think you feel nothing. You have simply already planned next year.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late.
What settles you
You feel everything, and you show almost nothing. What touched you stays deep down, long after others have forgotten.
The brightest star of the constellation is Antares: the rival of Mars. Mars rules this sign in the old astrology, Pluto in the new.
The Moon is in its fall in this sign. What settles you is knowing the truth, even a bad one.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go. Opposite its exaltation: weakened ground. Not a sentence — a place where you learn what others take for granted.
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.
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.
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 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 in plans. You go to what is useful, you say little, and you only talk about what you have checked.
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. 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 think big
You grow when you show yourself. A stage, a project with your name on it, a group to lead: your enthusiasm wins people over.
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 think big, and you like it to show.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no. 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 weigh your words. Speaking or writing took you work, and it has become a strength.
You think a long time before you speak, and what you say holds.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows. 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 need to understand before you feel, and talking about a problem is already part of solving it. Air's known flip side: staying above things instead of deciding.
Why?
We count the ten planets and the rising sign, as in the app.
