The sky
on 10 January 1945.
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
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, 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 know how to wait for your moment. You aim far, you hold an effort with no witness, and your patience frightens people more than an outburst.
Mars is in exaltation in this sign: your strength is discipline.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late. Received as a guest of honour: amplified, sometimes past reason. A strength to dose, not to prove.
How you think
You think wide. You see the general meaning before the details, and you prefer a big idea to a small proof.
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.
Mercury is in detriment in this sign: you say what you believe before you have checked.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
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 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.
