The sky
on 15 October 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 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
You settle apart: water, music, the dark. The mood of the room becomes yours without your choosing it.
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.
You need time to hand back to others what is not yours.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. 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 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 comes from elsewhere. Another language, another accent, a way of seeing you did not know. You like the door left open.
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.
People keep you by leaving with you, never by holding you back.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.
What gets you moving
Your birth time settles it.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance.
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 welcoming. A full table, an open house, someone to protect: that is where you feel rich.
Cancer begins at the June solstice, the day the Sun stops and turns back. The Moon rules this sign.
Jupiter is in exaltation in this sign. Your generosity sometimes looks after everyone except you.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Cancer, it goes through who is present first. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything. Received as a guest of honour: amplified, sometimes past reason. A strength to dose, not to prove.
Where you hold firm
You hold firm in what hurts. You control what touches you, and you confide nothing easily.
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 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.
