The sky
on 3 July 2011.
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
You settle once you have been seen. A real thank you, a look that stays, and the day mends.
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”.
Indifference hits you harder than blame.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. 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 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 a mind. Someone who makes you laugh, answers fast, surprises you by the third sentence.
Gemini is Castor and Pollux: one mortal, the other not, inseparable all the same. Mercury, the fastest planet around the Sun, rules this sign.
You fall under someone’s spell in writing as much as face to face. When the exchange dies, the rest follows.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows.
What gets you moving
You fight with words. You answer back on the spot, you open ten projects, and you change angle as soon as something jams.
Your comebacks sometimes hit harder than you meant.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows.
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.
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 accumulating. A good meal, a fine object, an account rising slowly: your confidence needs proof you can touch.
Venus rules this sign. In its constellation shine the Pleiades, seven sisters to the Greeks, visible to the naked eye on winter nights.
Too much is rarely enough for you, and that is where it costs.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it.
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.
