Your chart

The sky of your birth.

Saturday, 20 April 1946. The Sun is crossing Aries. That day, the Moon is at: waning gibbous. Without the time, we stop at the day: no rising, no rising sign.

Change my birth details

The time and city are optional: without them, no rising sign, and we tell you what stays uncertain.

I

What you are trying to become

Your birth time settles it.

Why?
Your Sun: Aries or Taurus

What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for.

What settles you

You settle by leaving. A road, a ticket, a plan that takes you elsewhere. When it weighs, you laugh it off and look farther.

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 come back when you choose, and you like finding people still there.

Why?
Your Moon in Sagittarius

What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.

III

What people see first

It takes your birth time and city.

Why?
Your rising sign

The first thing people register about you, before they know you.

Aldébaran (α Tau)Elnath (β Tau)ζ Tauθ² Tauγ Tau (Hyades)δ TauAin (ε Tau)λ TauAlcyone (Pléiades)IV

What draws you

What draws you can be touched and tasted: skin, a fabric, a well-laid table. You love slowly, and you keep.

Venus rules this sign. In its constellation shine the Pleiades, seven sisters to the Greeks, visible to the naked eye on winter nights.

Venus is at home in this sign. Your loyalty shows in gestures, rarely in sentences.

Why?
Your Venus in Taurus · in domicile

What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.

Altarf (β Cnc)Asellus Australis (δ Cnc)Asellus Borealis (γ Cnc)Acubens (α Cnc)ι CncV

What gets you moving

You fight for your people before you fight for yourself. You come at things sideways, you absorb, then it all comes out at once, often over something small.

Cancer begins at the June solstice, the day the Sun stops and turns back. The Moon rules this sign.

Mars is in its fall in this sign: your anger has a long memory.

Why?
Your Mars in Cancer · in fall

What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Cancer, it goes through who is present first. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything. Opposite its exaltation: weakened ground. Not a sentence — a place where you learn what others take for granted.

VI

What dominates

You start faster than most people, and waiting costs you more than doing. Fire's known flip side: starting comes more naturally than finishing.

Why?
Fire 3 · Earth 1 · Air 3 · Water 2

We count the ten planets and the rising sign, as in the app.

What the sky is about to touch in you

The next exact passes on your chart.

  1. What you want runs into something. The friction shows what really matters to you.

    Why?
    The Sun opposite your Venus

    The two pull against each other, you arbitrate constantly.

  2. What you love and what you want pull in different directions. A purchase or a choice of the heart is up for debate.

    Why?
    Venus opposite your Sun

    The two pull against each other, you arbitrate constantly.

  3. What you take on meets less resistance, and it shows.

    Why?
    The Sun trine your Sun

Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn: the rest of your story
Hamal (α Ari)Sheratan (β Ari)Mesarthim (γ Ari)41 AriVII

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?
Your Mercury in Aries

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.

Zubenelgenubi (α² Lib)Zubeneschamali (β Lib)γ Libσ Libυ Libτ LibVIII

Where you think big

You grow with someone. A partnership, a meeting, a well-found agreement open more doors than solitary effort.

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.

You help the people around you grow, and they often return it.

Why?
Your Jupiter in Libra

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. 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.

Altarf (β Cnc)Asellus Australis (δ Cnc)Asellus Borealis (γ Cnc)Acubens (α Cnc)ι CncIX

Where you hold firm

You protect yourself a lot. Family, home, what comes from childhood have weighed, and you drew great solidity from them.

Saturn is in detriment in this sign: you look after everything, and you rarely ask.

Why?
Your Saturn in Cancer · in detriment

What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line. In Cancer, it goes through who is present first. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.

The rest of your chart
The direction you grow in

You get bored before other people do, and it shows.

Why?
Your North Node in Gemini · The compass

The direction you grow in — what does not come naturally, and for that very reason moves you forward. Opposite it, the south node: what you already know too well. In Gemini, it runs through words and several threads at once. You get bored before other people do, and it shows.

Where you refuse to bend

You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go.

Why?
Your Lilith in Scorpio · The untamed

Where you refuse to bend — what you will not negotiate, even at a cost. Not a body: an empty point, the farthest the Moon swings away. In Scorpio, it plays out fully and in private. You watch for a long time before committing, then you do not let go.

The place dented early, still tender

You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs.

Why?
Your Chiron in Libra · The wounded teacher

The place dented early, still tender — the one you avoid exposing, and exactly what you end up best at offering others. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs.

Your dates

Calculated on your birth: they hold for no one else.

Your next solar return

20 April 2027

The start of a full lap. Nothing magical: a marker, and the only one in the year that is yours alone.

Your Saturn return

at 28: 22 October 1974 10 November 1974 16 June 1975

The classic reading: the end of an apprenticeship, and a bill coming due. What was built for real holds; what was avoided comes back on the table. Neither punishment nor promise — a threshold generations have found worth naming.

Your second Saturn return

at 58: 24 July 2004

Saturn takes about 29 and a half years to circle the zodiac. Your Saturn return is when it crosses back over its exact position at your birth — and because of retrogrades, it can cross up to three times.

Your next Jupiter return

7 December 2028 20 April 2029 7 August 2029

The classic reading: a cycle opening — the ground where you allow yourself to think bigger for the year that follows. Again: a marker, not a guarantee.
