Born on December 14, 1959?

The Sun, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter were all in Sagittarius, so everyone born that day is a Sagittarius several times over. Venus and Neptune sat less than a degree apart in Scorpio, 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.
