The Sun, Mercury and Venus were all in Taurus, so everyone born that day is a Taurus several times over. Saturn and Neptune sat 2 degrees apart in Capricorn, 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.
