Muhammad Ali
Born on 17 January 1942 in Louisville. Without a public birth time, no rising sign: here is what the date and place can calculate.
You and Muhammad Ali
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 draws you
What draws you resembles nobody else. You often begin with friendship, and you keep your freedom in the middle of the relationship.
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.
What a couple is supposed to be, you would rather decide for yourself.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness.
What gets you moving
You do not start fast, and you do not stop either. People can push you for a long time and get nowhere. Your anger takes months to come, and as long to leave.
Venus rules this sign. In its constellation shine the Pleiades, seven sisters to the Greeks, visible to the naked eye on winter nights.
Mars is in detriment in this sign. Your strength is holding on.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
How you think
You think from your own system. You question the obvious, and you see patterns where others see separate facts.
You can be right years too early, and defend your idea against everyone.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Aquarius, it happens off the rulebook. You step back where others lean in, and it reads as coldness.
