Born on July 18, 1982?

Mars, Saturn and Pluto were all in Libra, so everyone born that day carries a strong Libra 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.
