Born on August 1, 1948?

The Sun, Saturn and Pluto were all in Leo, so everyone born that day is a Leo several times over. Venus and Uranus sat less than a degree apart in Gemini, 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.
