The sky
on 19 July 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
Before you know what you think, you know who is there. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything: what you were told, and what no one remembered to tell you.
Cancer begins at the June solstice, the day the Sun stops and turns back. The Moon rules this sign.
What you are trying to become runs through the people you keep close. It remains to count yourself among them.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Cancer, it goes through who is present first. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything.
What settles you
Your birth time settles it.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision.
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
You love through details. You remember how the other person takes their coffee, you fix what creaks, and you rarely say what it means.
Mercury rules this sign and is exalted in it, a case unique in the zodiac. The brightest star is Spica, the ear of wheat.
Venus is in its fall in this sign: your affection reads in what you do, and not everyone can read it.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Virgo, it gets settled in the details. You spot what is off before looking for it, and you say so. Opposite its exaltation: weakened ground. Not a sentence — a place where you learn what others take for granted.
What gets you moving
You fight for your people before you fight for yourself. You come at things sideways, you absorb, then it all comes out at once, often over something small.
Mars is in its fall in this sign: your anger has a long memory.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Cancer, it goes through who is present first. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything. Opposite its exaltation: weakened ground. Not a sentence — a place where you learn what others take for granted.
How you think
You think out loud, and you tell a story well. An idea, for you, gets defended on your feet, with gestures and a punchline.
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 find it hard to change your mind in front of everyone.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
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. 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 take bonds seriously. A commitment, for you, gets kept, and you want it to be fair.
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.
Saturn is in exaltation in this sign: you know what an agreement is worth.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs. Received as a guest of honour: amplified, sometimes past reason. A strength to dose, not to prove.
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.
