The sky
on 22 May 1993.
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
You settle by talking. A worry put into words already weighs less, and someone to write to beats an hour alone with it.
Silence, for you, is nothing like rest.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows.
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 what resists a little. You make the first move without calculating, and you say quickly what you want.
The zodiac starts here, at the March equinox. Mars rules this sign, and the Sun is exalted in it.
Venus is in detriment in this sign: you know how to win someone over, and staying takes more effort.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Aries, it starts before it is ready. You decide fast, correct on the move, and waiting costs you more than being wrong. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
What gets you moving
You move when it is worth it, and it shows. You like to lead, to defend, to stand in front. What wounds your pride gets you going.
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 work better when somebody is watching.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
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 someone. A partnership, a meeting, a well-found agreement open more doors than solitary effort.
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.
You help the people around you grow, and they often return it.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs. 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 set limits on what overflows. Your feelings and dreams need a frame, and you learned that the hard way.
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 sensitivity, once held, becomes a real strength.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Pisces, it happens by absorption. You take on the mood of a room without choosing to, and sometimes mistake it for your own.
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.
