Born on January 3, 2011?

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