Linus Torvalds
Born on 28 December 1969 in Helsinki. Without a public birth time, no rising sign: here is what the date and place can calculate.
You and Linus Torvalds
What you are trying to become
You aim far, and you demand a lot of yourself. What you make, you want still standing in ten years. Credit, you give yourself late.
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.
People think you feel nothing. You have simply already planned next year.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Capricorn, it gets built and proven. You aim far, demand a lot of yourself, and give yourself credit late.
What gets you moving
You move without a straight line. You go around, you wait for it to pass, you sense where it will give. Direct confrontation costs you.
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.
Your strength comes in waves: nothing for days, then everything in one night.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Pisces, it happens by absorption. You take on the mood of a room without choosing to, and sometimes mistake it for your own.
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.
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.
