The sky
on 9 November 1972.
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 watch for a long time before committing. You already know a lot about people while they think they are still finding you out. Then you do not let go.
The brightest star of the constellation is Antares: the rival of Mars. Mars rules this sign in the old astrology, Pluto in the new.
Everything plays out fully and in private. What you forgive, you do not forget.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go.
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 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 hesitate to strike first. You weigh, you consult, you look for the way out that upsets nobody. But faced with an injustice, you stand up.
Mars is in detriment in this sign. You fight your battles better for other people.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
How you think
You think wide. You see the general meaning before the details, and you prefer a big idea to a small proof.
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 slowly, floor by floor. A title, a responsibility, a project that takes ten years: you believe in what lasts.
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.
Jupiter is in its fall in this sign: your optimism asks for proof.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late. Opposite its exaltation: weakened ground. Not a sentence — a place where you learn what others take for granted.
Where you hold firm
You weigh your words. Speaking or writing took you work, and it has become a strength.
Gemini is Castor and Pollux: one mortal, the other not, inseparable all the same. Mercury, the fastest planet around the Sun, rules this sign.
You think a long time before you speak, and what you say holds.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows. 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 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.
