Born on August 28, 2006?

The Sun, Mercury and Mars were all in Virgo, so everyone born that day is a Virgo several times over. Venus and Saturn sat 2 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.
