Born on August 6, 2002?

The Sun, Mars and Jupiter were all in Leo, so everyone born that day is a Leo several times over. The Sun and Mars sat 1 degrees apart in Leo, 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.
