The sky
on 30 May 1973.
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 hold three conversations in your head and you would rather not drop any of them. Words are how you think. You get bored before other people do, and it shows.
Gemini is Castor and Pollux: one mortal, the other not, inseparable all the same. Mercury, the fastest planet around the Sun, rules this sign.
People say you scatter yourself. You call it keeping the doors open.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows.
What settles you
What settles you can be touched: a meal, a familiar place, a habit nobody disturbs. Your mood does not change quickly, and pushing you will not change it.
Venus rules this sign. In its constellation shine the Pleiades, seven sisters to the Greeks, visible to the naked eye on winter nights.
The Moon is exalted in this sign: it is where feelings stop moving.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it. Received as a guest of honour: amplified, sometimes past reason. A strength to dose, not to prove.
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 a mind. Someone who makes you laugh, answers fast, surprises you by the third sentence.
You fall under someone’s spell in writing as much as face to face. When the exchange dies, the rest follows.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows.
What gets you moving
You move without a straight line. You go around, you wait for it to pass, you sense where it will give. Direct confrontation costs you.
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.
Your strength comes in waves: nothing for days, then everything in one night.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Pisces, it happens by absorption. You take on the mood of a room without choosing to, and sometimes mistake it for your own.
How you think
You think fast, on several tracks. You learn in an evening what takes others a month, and you move on.
Mercury rules this sign. You know a little of everything, and you know how to say it very well.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
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 weigh your words. Speaking or writing took you work, and it has become a strength.
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.
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.
