The sky
on 24 April 2020.
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 take your time, and no one will make you lose it. You commit late, after looking at everything, and then you do not go back on it.
Venus rules this sign. In its constellation shine the Pleiades, seven sisters to the Greeks, visible to the naked eye on winter nights.
What you build, you want to be able to touch. What you are pressed to decide, you refuse first.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it.
What settles you
What settles you can be touched: a meal, a familiar place, a habit nobody disturbs. Your mood does not change quickly, and pushing you will not change it.
The Moon is exalted in this sign: it is where feelings stop moving.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it. Received as a guest of honour: amplified, sometimes past reason. A strength to dose, not to prove.
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 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 talking, and you talk before you have finished. Your ideas arrive in one block, and you decide fast.
The zodiac starts here, at the March equinox. Mars rules this sign, and the Sun is exalted in it.
You are often right too early, and you let people know.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Aries, it starts before it is ready. You decide fast, correct on the move, and waiting costs you more than being wrong.
Where you think big
You grow slowly, floor by floor. A title, a responsibility, a project that takes ten years: you believe in what lasts.
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.
Jupiter is in its fall in this sign: your optimism asks for proof.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late. Opposite its exaltation: weakened ground. Not a sentence — a place where you learn what others take for granted.
Where you hold firm
You build your own way. You hold to your freedom, and you give it rules you have chosen.
Saturn rules this sign in the tradition. Finding your place in a group took you time.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
What dominates
You trust what can be verified — a plan, a number, a proof. Earth's known flip side: change requires a serious reason, never a passing urge.
Why?
We count the ten planets and the rising sign, as in the app.
