The sky
on 27 October 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 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
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.
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 do not let go. You watch, you wait, you strike once and in the right place. People do not see your decisions coming.
Mars rules this sign in the tradition. You know people’s weak point, and you choose whether to use it.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
How you think
You think by digging. You hear what people do not say, and you ask the awkward question.
You say little, and you aim true.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go.
Where you think big
You grow through detail. A trade learned thoroughly, a tool mastered, a method that works.
Mercury rules this sign and is exalted in it, a case unique in the zodiac. The brightest star is Spica, the ear of wheat.
Jupiter is in detriment in this sign: better sometimes stops you seeing good.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Virgo, it gets settled in the details. You spot what is off before looking for it, and you say so. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
Where you hold firm
You protect yourself a lot. Family, home, what comes from childhood have weighed, and you drew great solidity from them.
Cancer begins at the June solstice, the day the Sun stops and turns back. The Moon rules this sign.
Saturn is in detriment in this sign: you look after everything, and you rarely ask.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Cancer, it goes through who is present first. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything. 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.
What dominates
You feel before you understand, and your memory files moments by what they did to you, not by their dates. Water's known flip side: absorbing moods that are not yours.
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.
