Your book

Born on September 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

Virgo, August 23 to September 22.

The Maiden, ruled by Mercury, and the books make it the sign of the well-kept list — precise, useful, quietly indispensable. An earth sign, credited with discernment and a work ethic, and blamed for noticing the flaw in everything, including itself. Its people are said to be the ones who actually read the instructions. The tradition admires Virgo and slightly fears having its work checked by one.

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