Born on January 21, 1998?

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