The sky
on 5 August 2000.
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 do things large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
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 give in front of everyone. What you want back is to be truly looked at.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
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
What draws you has style. You like to give, to stage things, to make an occasion out of a Tuesday.
You give a lot, and you want to see it in the other person’s eyes.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
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.
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 with your memory. A smell, a sentence from ten years ago, and it all comes back. You listen to the tone as much as the words.
Cancer begins at the June solstice, the day the Sun stops and turns back. The Moon rules this sign.
You retain what you were told, and above all how you were told it.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Cancer, it goes through who is present first. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything.
Where you think big
You grow by learning. A book, a meeting, one more subject: your best doors open through talking.
Gemini is Castor and Pollux: one mortal, the other not, inseparable all the same. Mercury, the fastest planet around the Sun, rules this sign.
Jupiter is in detriment in this sign: you know many things, less often where they lead.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
Where you hold firm
You build so as to lack nothing. You count, you set aside, you prefer little and solid.
Venus rules this sign. In its constellation shine the Pleiades, seven sisters to the Greeks, visible to the naked eye on winter nights.
The fear of going without gives you your patience.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it.
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.

What’s missing without the time
The rising sign, the houses and the exact degree of each planet depend on the time and place: the rising sign changes about every two hours. Add them in the calculator, or find your full chart in the app.
