Your book

Born on July 27? 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

Leo, July 23 to August 22.

The Lion, ruled by the Sun itself, and the books do not pretend otherwise: this is the sign of the centre of the room. A fire sign, credited with warmth, generosity and a need to be seen that its people would call a gift for being seen. The tradition gives Leo courage and a big heart and a weakness for applause, and notes that it tends to earn the applause, which is the annoying part.

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