Born on July 16, 1952?

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