The sky
on 18 February 1990.
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
Your birth time settles it.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for.
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 has proved itself. You look at how someone keeps their promises before you look at the rest, and you take your time.
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.
You love seriously, and it shows in time more than in words.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late.
What gets you moving
You know how to wait for your moment. You aim far, you hold an effort with no witness, and your patience frightens people more than an outburst.
Mars is in exaltation in this sign: your strength is discipline.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late. Received as a guest of honour: amplified, sometimes past reason. A strength to dose, not to prove.
How you think
You think from your own system. You question the obvious, and you see patterns where others see separate facts.
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.
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 by welcoming. A full table, an open house, someone to protect: that is where you feel rich.
Cancer begins at the June solstice, the day the Sun stops and turns back. The Moon rules this sign.
Jupiter is in exaltation in this sign. Your generosity sometimes looks after everyone except you.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Cancer, it goes through who is present first. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything. Received as a guest of honour: amplified, sometimes past reason. A strength to dose, not to prove. 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 know what lasting means. You aim high, you move slowly, and you carry more than your share.
Saturn rules this sign. Rest, for you, has to be learned too.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
What dominates
You trust what can be verified — a plan, a number, a proof. Earth's known flip side: change requires a serious reason, never a passing urge.
Why?
We count the ten planets and the rising sign, as in the app.

What’s missing without the time
