How a profile is put together

Sun sign. The usual fixed date ranges (Aries from 21 March, Taurus from 20 April and so on). The real Sun changes sign on slightly different days each year, so if you were born on a cusp day, check your exact sign with the Zodiac & Birth Chart.
Decan. Each sign is split into three parts of about ten days. The first is the sign at its purest; the second and third are coloured by the other two signs of the same element (for Aries, Leo and Sagittarius).
Cusp. The first three and last three days of a sign blend in the neighbouring sign.
Day number. The day of the month reduced to one digit (29 becomes 2 + 9 = 11, then 1 + 1 = 2). 11 and 22 are shown as master numbers.
Life path number. Month, day and year are each reduced, then added and reduced again, keeping the master numbers 11, 22 and 33.
Year ahead. Your “personal year”: birth month + birth day + the year of your latest birthday, reduced to 1 to 9. It changes every birthday.
Chinese zodiac. The year starts at Lunar New Year (late January or February), so people born in January or early February usually belong to the previous year's animal.

Questions

Is any of this true?: No more than a fortune cookie. Astrology and numerology have no scientific support; careful studies have found no link between birth date and personality. Read it the way you would read a horoscope in a magazine: for fun, for conversation, and maybe for a small nudge to reflect.
Where does the text come from?: Every sentence was written for mes.fm. A profile combines short texts for the sign, the decan, the cusp and the day number, chosen so that every day reads differently. It is not taken from any book.
Why does my title not match a book I have read?: These titles are our own. Books about birthdays each use their own system and their own names.
I was born on 29 February. What then?: You get your own entry, the rarest one on the page. In other years most leap-day people celebrate on 28 February or 1 March.
Is my birthday sent anywhere?: No. Everything is worked out in your browser. The only thing loaded is the list of famous people for the month you choose, from mes.fm itself. “Remember as my birthday” keeps it in this browser only.
