Born on April 21, 1949?

The Sun, Mercury and Venus were all in Taurus, so everyone born that day is a Taurus several times over. The Sun and Venus sat 1 degrees apart in Taurus, 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.
