The sky
on 12 March 1968.
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 once you have been seen. A real thank you, a look that stays, and the day mends.
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”.
Indifference hits you harder than blame.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
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 react before you have finished thinking. An obstacle wakes you up, a wait wears you down. Your anger rises fast and drops just as fast.
The zodiac starts here, at the March equinox. Mars rules this sign, and the Sun is exalted in it.
Mars rules this sign. You prefer an open conflict to a week of hints.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Aries, it starts before it is ready. You decide fast, correct on the move, and waiting costs you more than being wrong. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
How you think
You think from your own system. You question the obvious, and you see patterns where others see separate facts.
You can be right years too early, and defend your idea against everyone.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness.
Where you think big
You grow when you show yourself. A stage, a project with your name on it, a group to lead: your enthusiasm wins people over.
You think big, and you like it to show.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no. 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.
Where you hold firm
You have learned to hold back your drive. Starting without waiting costs you more than others, and you make up for it with an iron will.
Saturn is in its fall in this sign: you won your patience against yourself.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Aries, it starts before it is ready. You decide fast, correct on the move, and waiting costs you more than being wrong. Opposite its exaltation: weakened ground. Not a sentence — a place where you learn what others take for granted.
What dominates
You start faster than most people, and waiting costs you more than doing. Fire's known flip side: starting comes more naturally than finishing.
Why?
We count the ten planets and the rising sign, as in the app.
