The sky
on 23 March 1983.
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 have already started. While others weigh it up, you move on the first idea and correct as you go.
The zodiac starts here, at the March equinox. Mars rules this sign, and the Sun is exalted in it.
Waiting costs you more than being wrong. The real question is what you finish.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Aries, it starts before it is ready. You decide fast, correct on the move, and waiting costs you more than being wrong. Received as a guest of honour: amplified, sometimes past reason. A strength to dose, not to prove.
What settles you
You settle when everyone is home. You remember every word, every birthday, what was forgotten. Your mood follows that of your people.
Cancer begins at the June solstice, the day the Sun stops and turns back. The Moon rules this sign.
The Moon is at home in this sign. It changes shape every night, and so do you.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Cancer, it goes through who is present first. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
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 can be touched and tasted: skin, a fabric, a well-laid table. You love slowly, and you keep.
Venus rules this sign. In its constellation shine the Pleiades, seven sisters to the Greeks, visible to the naked eye on winter nights.
Venus is at home in this sign. Your loyalty shows in gestures, rarely in sentences.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
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.
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
Your birth time settles it.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself.
Where you think big
You grow by leaving. A country, a language, a big idea: you need air and meaning.
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.
Jupiter rules this sign. Your faith carries you far, and sometimes excuses you from checking.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
Where you hold firm
You hold firm in what hurts. You control what touches you, and you confide nothing easily.
The brightest star of the constellation is Antares: the rival of Mars. Mars rules this sign in the old astrology, Pluto in the new.
You come out of trials with a strength few people see.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go. 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 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.
