Your book

Born on February 11? Add the year.

Then it is a pop-up book: the sky the day you arrived, the No. 1 that week, the president, what a stamp cost, your life in weeks, and who was exactly your age when they did the thing they are known for — and at the end, a birthday poster of the day, engraved, to take home. One field. The date lives after the # in the link, which no server sees — nothing about you leaves your browser.

The old books say

Aquarius, January 20 to February 18.

The Water-Bearer, which is an air sign, and the books enjoy the confusion. Ruled by Saturn in the old texts and Uranus in the new, credited with originality, a wide circle and a certain coolness at the centre of it — the friend of everyone, intimate of few. Its people are supposed to be ahead of their time, which is only comfortable once the time catches up. The tradition calls it the sign of the future and cannot say whose.

Astrology, reported rather than endorsed — the astronomy is the part of the book that is real.
