The sky
on 17 March 1963.
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 by leaving. A road, a ticket, a plan that takes you elsewhere. When it weighs, you laugh it off and look farther.
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 come back when you choose, and you like finding people still there.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.
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 resembles nobody else. You often begin with friendship, and you keep your freedom in the middle of the relationship.
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.
What a couple is supposed to be, you would rather decide for yourself.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness.
What gets you moving
You move when it is worth it, and it shows. You like to lead, to defend, to stand in front. What wounds your pride gets you going.
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 work better when somebody is watching.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
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 by letting go. An intuition, an uncalculated gesture, help given without counting come back by paths you did not plan.
Jupiter rules this sign in the tradition. Your trust needs limits so it does not dissolve.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Pisces, it happens by absorption. You take on the mood of a room without choosing to, and sometimes mistake it for your own. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
Where you hold firm
You build your own way. You hold to your freedom, and you give it rules you have chosen.
Saturn rules this sign in the tradition. Finding your place in a group took you time.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
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.
