Your book

Born on October 25? 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

Scorpio, October 23 to November 21.

The Scorpion, ruled by Mars in the old books and Pluto in the newer ones, which tells you the tradition could not agree on how to handle it. A water sign, credited with intensity, loyalty that runs to the bone, and a stare. Its people are said to keep secrets well — their own and yours — and to forgive nothing and forget less. The books call it magnetic, from a safe distance.

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