The sky
on 2 October 2007.
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 tune yourself to whoever is across from you. You sense what they expect, you adjust, you look for the right word, and sometimes you no longer know what you wanted.
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.
What you are trying to become, you look for with someone. Injustice is the one thing you do not weigh.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs. Opposite its exaltation: weakened ground. Not a sentence — a place where you learn what others take for granted.
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.
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 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 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.
Cancer begins at the June solstice, the day the Sun stops and turns back. The Moon rules this sign.
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 by digging. You hear what people do not say, and you ask the awkward question.
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 say little, and you aim true.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go.
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 let nothing pass, especially in yourself. Work done well reassures you, and a flaw can keep you awake.
Mercury rules this sign and is exalted in it, a case unique in the zodiac. The brightest star is Spica, the ear of wheat.
Your rigour is your strength, as long as you know when to stop.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Virgo, it gets settled in the details. You spot what is off before looking for it, and you say so.
What dominates
You feel before you understand, and your memory files moments by what they did to you, not by their dates. Water's known flip side: absorbing moods that are not yours.
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.
