The sky
on 9 August 2026.
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 do things large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
The Sun rules this sign: the only body in the chart that makes its own light. The brightest star of the constellation is Regulus, “the little king”.
You give in front of everyone. What you want back is to be truly looked at.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
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 is beautiful and composed: a steady voice, a well-arranged room, someone who knows how to talk to people. Rudeness cools you in a second.
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.
Venus is at home in this sign. You are looking for a real face-to-face, with someone at your level.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
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.
Gemini is Castor and Pollux: one mortal, the other not, inseparable all the same. Mercury, the fastest planet around the Sun, rules this sign.
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.
How you think
Your birth time settles it.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself.
Where you think big
You grow when you show yourself. A stage, a project with your name on it, a group to lead: your enthusiasm wins people over.
You think big, and you like it to show.
Why?
What you take for granted, and the ground where you let yourself overreach. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
Where you hold firm
You have learned to hold back your drive. Starting without waiting costs you more than others, and you make up for it with an iron will.
The zodiac starts here, at the March equinox. Mars rules this sign, and the Sun is exalted in it.
Saturn is in its fall in this sign: you won your patience against yourself.
Why?
What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Aries, it starts before it is ready. You decide fast, correct on the move, and waiting costs you more than being wrong. Opposite its exaltation: weakened ground. Not a sentence — a place where you learn what others take for granted. 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 isn’t there
There is no earth in your chart. Not one point, out of the 8 we count.
The concrete is not your starting point: ideas and impulses come first, structure gets chosen afterwards — it does not impose itself.
Why?
We count the ten planets and the rising sign, as in the app.
