Your book

Born on January 14? 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

Capricorn, December 22 to January 19.

The Sea-Goat, ruled by Saturn, the taskmaster, and the books make it the sign of the long game — the climb, the plan, the thing built to last. An earth sign, credited with discipline, dry humour and an old head on young shoulders that grows into itself around forty. Its people are said to arrive late to their own success and stay. The tradition respects Capricorn the way one respects a well-kept ledger.

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