Your book

Born on June 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

Gemini, May 21 to June 20.

The Twins, ruled by Mercury, the messenger — and so the books give the sign to talkers, writers, the quick and the curious. An air sign, credited with wit and adaptability and blamed for changing its mind, which its people would call keeping up. Two of everything: two opinions, two projects, two friends who have never met. The tradition finds it charming and slightly exhausting, in that order.

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