Born on January 15, 2010?

The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto were all in Capricorn, so everyone born that day is a Capricorn several times over. The Sun and Venus sat less than a degree apart in Capricorn, 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.
