Your chart

The sky of your birth.

Tuesday, 21 May 1946. The Sun is crossing Taurus. 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: Taurus or Gemini

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

II

What settles you

Your birth time settles it.

Why?
Your Moon: Capricorn or Aquarius

What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision.

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.

Castor (α Gem)Pollux (β Gem)Alhena (γ Gem)Mebsuta (ε Gem)μ Gemη GemWasat (δ Gem)κ Gemλ Gemξ GemIV

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?
Your Venus in Gemini

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.

Régulus (α Leo)Dénébola (β Leo)Algieba (γ Leo)Zosma (δ Leo)Chertan (θ Leo)Ras Elased (ε Leo)μ LeoAdhafera (ζ Leo)η LeoV

What gets you moving

You move when it is worth it, and it shows. You like to lead, to defend, to stand in front. What wounds your pride gets you going.

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 work better when somebody is watching.

Why?
Your Mars in Leo

What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.

VI

What dominates

You need to understand before you feel, and talking about a problem is already part of solving it. Air's known flip side: staying above things instead of deciding.

Why?
Fire 2 · Earth 1 · Air 4 · Water 1

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

7.8%of charts

Few charts have Jupiter square Saturn.

Why?
Your Jupiter square your Saturn

It grinds, and that grinding is what moves you. Counted on 109,865 charts, one per day from 1800 to 2100. These are charts, not people.

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 square your Mars

    It grinds, and that grinding is what moves you.

  2. Patience runs short. A small annoyance can take up more room than it deserves.

    Why?
    Mars square your Sun

    It grinds, and that grinding is what moves you.

  3. 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.

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

    Why?
    The Sun trine your Sun

    It flows so easily you do not notice it.

Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn: the rest of your story
Aldébaran (α Tau)Elnath (β Tau)ζ Tauθ² Tauγ Tau (Hyades)δ TauAin (ε Tau)λ TauAlcyone (Pléiades)VII

How you think

You think slowly and you retain everything. You need something concrete: an example, a figure, something to handle.

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

Once your mind is made up, arguing with it is a waste of time.

Why?
Your Mercury in Taurus

How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it.

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.

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

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 take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.

Why?
Your Lilith in Sagittarius · 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 Sagittarius, it needs a horizon. You take badly to having your ground narrowed, and you leave rather than negotiate.

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

21 May 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 29: 5 July 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: 12 August 2004 20 February 2005 21 April 2005

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

19 November 2028 21 May 2029 7 July 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.
