The sky
on 22 February 1947.
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 walk into a room and you already know. Who just argued, who is pretending, who would like to leave. Nobody told you: you took it in without choosing to, the way a hand left in water takes its temperature.
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.
That is the question that follows you: what I am feeling right now, is it mine?
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. 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 settles you
You settle apart: water, music, the dark. The mood of the room becomes yours without your choosing it.
You need time to hand back to others what is not yours.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. 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 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 do not move because you are asked to. An instruction makes you want to do the opposite, and you fight better for a cause than for yourself.
Aquarius carries water in every drawing, yet it is an air sign: what it pours is ideas. Saturn rules it in the old astrology, Uranus in the new.
Your anger stays in your head: you explain, and it hurts more than a shout.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness.
How you think
You think in images. You understand without knowing how, and you struggle to retrace the path and explain it.
Mercury is in detriment and in its fall in this sign: your intuition does not fit easily into a sentence.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Pisces, it happens by absorption. You take on the mood of a room without choosing to, and sometimes mistake it for your own. 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 in crises. What frightens others interests you, and you gain strength there.
The brightest star of the constellation is Antares: the rival of Mars. Mars rules this sign in the old astrology, Pluto in the new.
Your appetite goes to the bottom of things: other people’s money, secrets, what goes unsaid.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. 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 hold firm
Showing yourself has cost you. You want what you do to be recognised, and you find it hard to ask.
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”.
Saturn is in detriment in this sign: your pride works in silence.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no. 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.
