The sky
on 28 October 2016.
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 watch for a long time before committing. You already know a lot about people while they think they are still finding you out. Then you do not let go.
The brightest star of the constellation is Antares: the rival of Mars. Mars rules this sign in the old astrology, Pluto in the new.
Everything plays out fully and in private. What you forgive, you do not forget.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go.
What settles you
You only really settle when everything is fine around you. A tension in the next room, and you feel it before you hear a word. So you smooth things over, you rephrase, you suggest.
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.
And then one evening someone asks what you wanted, you. You search for a long time.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs.
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
You know how to wait for your moment. You aim far, you hold an effort with no witness, and your patience frightens people more than an outburst.
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.
Mars is in exaltation in this sign: your strength is discipline.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late. Received as a guest of honour: amplified, sometimes past reason. A strength to dose, not to prove.
How you think
You think by digging. You hear what people do not say, and you ask the awkward question.
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 with someone. A partnership, a meeting, a well-found agreement open more doors than solitary effort.
You help the people around you grow, and they often return it.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs.
Where you hold firm
You want convictions that hold. You doubt for a long time, you check, you build your own view.
What you believe, you have paid for, and you hold to it.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.
