Born on September 29, 1953?

The Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune were all in Libra, so everyone born that day is a Libra several times over. Mercury and Neptune sat less than a degree apart in Libra, 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.
