Born on August 2, 1945?

Venus, Mars and Uranus were all in Gemini, so everyone born that day carries a strong Gemini streak alongside their Leo Sun. The Sun and Pluto sat less than a degree apart in Leo, a close conjunction shared by every chart from that day.

Planet signs are only part of the picture. Your rising sign changes about every two hours and the Moon moves half a degree an hour, so your exact birth time and place decide your houses, angles and Moon degree.
