Born on July 22, 1966?

The Sun, Venus, Mars and Jupiter were all in Cancer, so everyone born that day is a Cancer several times over. Uranus and Pluto sat less than a degree apart in Virgo, 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.
