The sky
on 8 December 2022.
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 need a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.
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.
You go farther than planned, and it is rarely an accident.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.
What settles you
You settle by talking. A worry put into words already weighs less, and someone to write to beats an hour alone with it.
Gemini is Castor and Pollux: one mortal, the other not, inseparable all the same. Mercury, the fastest planet around the Sun, rules this sign.
Silence, for you, is nothing like rest.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows.
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.
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 fight with words. You answer back on the spot, you open ten projects, and you change angle as soon as something jams.
Your comebacks sometimes hit harder than you meant.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows. 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.
How you think
You think in plans. You go to what is useful, you say little, and you only talk about what you have checked.
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.
Your humour is dry, and it takes a moment to notice.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late.
Where you think big
You grow by letting go. An intuition, an uncalculated gesture, help given without counting come back by paths you did not plan.
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.
Jupiter rules this sign in the tradition. Your trust needs limits so it does not dissolve.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Pisces, it happens by absorption. You take on the mood of a room without choosing to, and sometimes mistake it for your own. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
Where you hold firm
You build your own way. You hold to your freedom, and you give it rules you have chosen.
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.
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.
