How to look up your planets from the tables. 1984 and 1985 on this site. To get a different year go to Get an ephemeris
Then select the year and save the page as an html document - that's what it will default to you can then read it with your internet browser. If you are mathematically inclined you need the line above your birthdate and the one below in addition to the actual date, and you can use the instructions on how to calculate the chart manually.
If you more inclined to the computer end, down load yourself a little astrology program, and it'll do all of this for you, find one that downloads quick and easy and works like a dream at Kepler - a freeware software Starlite available on their site - quick download and excellent features for the beginner - even has its own Atlas.

The first line in the table identifies the information. Date gives you the 29th and also tells you that you were born on a Sunday. The second set of numbers is the sidereal time 08:29:46. The planetary positions are for midnight in Greenwich, England. Latitude and Longitude are both 0°. Then the planets are listed - Sun first at 8°Aquarius15', the Moon was at 23°Sagittarius 40' at midnight. Remember in the winter months (without daylight savings time) Greenwich midnight occurs when it is the previous day here at the Westcoast (PST). The difference is 8 hours - 24:00 - 8:00 = 16:00 which is 4 PM. On Monday the 30th of January the Moon is at 6°Capricorn 3' So in between 4 PM on the 28th and 4 PM on the 29th, the Moon changed signs. For the purposes of quickly figuring this out without complicated mathematics - the Moon moves almost 7 degrees in 12 hours and almost 14° in 24 hours. Each zodiacal sign is 30 degrees. At 4 PM here in Vancouver on the 28th and through about 4 AM on the 29th the Moon is in Sagittarius, and for the rest of the 29th in Capricorn, so you would need to know what time you were born.
The rest is less complicated - Moon moves fast you see. Mercury the planet of communication is listed after the Moon. On the 29th it is at 14° Capricorn. Venus is at 3° Capricorn, Mars is in Scorpio, Jupiter is in Capricorn, Saturn is in Scorpio, Uranus in Sagittarius, Neptune in Capricorn, Pluto in Scorpio and the North Node of the Moon is in Gemini. For an Aquarius Sun you might find that you don't quite fit the mould, most of us don't, of the typical one.
The planets are written out in the tables, but the zodiacal signs are in short hand, listing the first two letters of the word. Ar(ies), Ta(urus), Ge(mini), Ca(ncer), Le(o), Vi(rgo), Li(bra), Sc(orpio), Sa(gittarius), Cp (Capricorn), Aq(uarius), and Pi(sces). Need a blank chart wheel to draw your planets in? Click here.
