Born on March 5, 1980?

Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were all in Virgo, so everyone born that day carries a strong Virgo streak alongside their Pisces Sun. The Sun and Mercury sat 1 degrees apart in Pisces, 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.
