Born on March 17, 1990?

Saturn, Uranus and Neptune were all in Capricorn, so everyone born that day carries a strong Capricorn streak alongside their Pisces Sun. The Sun and Mercury sat 2 degrees apart in Pisces, 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.
