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