The sky
on 28 January 2013.
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 step back where others lean in. You look at the rule from outside, and you see what is arbitrary about it. It sometimes reads as coldness.
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 care about everyone, and you want to belong to no one.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
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 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 do not move because you are asked to. An instruction makes you want to do the opposite, and you fight better for a cause than for yourself.
Your anger stays in your head: you explain, and it hurts more than a shout.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness.
How you think
You think from your own system. You question the obvious, and you see patterns where others see separate facts.
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 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. 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 hold firm in what hurts. You control what touches you, and you confide nothing easily.
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 come out of trials with a strength few people see.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go.
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.
