Born on September 15, 2003?

The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter were all in Virgo, so everyone born that day is a Virgo several times over. Mars and Uranus sat 1 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.
