Born on July 6, 1980?

Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were all in Virgo, so everyone born that day carries a strong Virgo streak alongside their Cancer Sun.

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.
