Born on September 22, 1989?

Saturn, Uranus and Neptune were all in Capricorn, so everyone born that day carries a strong Capricorn streak alongside their Virgo Sun. Venus and Pluto sat 2 degrees apart in Scorpio, 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.
