Born on September 27, 1970?

Mercury, Mars and Pluto were all in Virgo, so everyone born that day carries a strong Virgo streak alongside their Libra Sun. Mercury and Mars 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.
