Born on October 26, 1947?

The Sun, Mercury and Venus were all in Scorpio, so everyone born that day is a Scorpio several times over. Mars 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.
