Born on April 2, 1981?

The Sun, Venus and Mars were all in Aries, so everyone born that day is an Aries several times over. The Sun and Mars sat less than a degree apart in Aries, 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.
