The sky
on 24 October 2018.
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
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 a secret. Lightness bores you fast: you need someone who holds your gaze and does not lie.
Venus is in detriment in this sign. You give all or nothing, and you do not forget who betrayed you.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go. 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.
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.
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.
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 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 in crises. What frightens others interests you, and you gain strength there.
Your appetite goes to the bottom of things: other people’s money, secrets, what goes unsaid.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. 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 hold firm
You know what lasting means. You aim high, you move slowly, and you carry more than your share.
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.
Saturn rules this sign. Rest, for you, has to be learned too.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
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.
