The sky
on 24 October 1950.
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
Your birth time settles it.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for.
What settles you
Your mood goes up like a match. An annoyance, and it is already said. Ten minutes later it is over for you, and you are surprised it lasts for others.
The zodiac starts here, at the March equinox. Mars rules this sign, and the Sun is exalted in it.
What settles you is acting: walking, doing, sorting it out right now.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Aries, it starts before it is ready. You decide fast, correct on the move, and waiting costs you more than being wrong.
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 is beautiful and composed: a steady voice, a well-arranged room, someone who knows how to talk to people. Rudeness cools you in a second.
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.
Venus is at home in this sign. You are looking for a real face-to-face, with someone at your level.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
What gets you moving
You move toward a distant goal, in long strides. You fight for an idea, a conviction, and you lose patience with what seems small to you.
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.
You set off strong, and the road interests you more than the last mile.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.
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.
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 with others, through ideas. A network, a cause, a new way of doing things carry you further than personal success.
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 best openings often come from people you did not know the day before.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness.
Where you hold firm
You let nothing pass, especially in yourself. Work done well reassures you, and a flaw can keep you awake.
Mercury rules this sign and is exalted in it, a case unique in the zodiac. The brightest star is Spica, the ear of wheat.
Your rigour is your strength, as long as you know when to stop.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Virgo, it gets settled in the details. You spot what is off before looking for it, and you say so.
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.
