Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima — birth chart across three traditions

Born: 1945-08-06 at 08:15 · Hypocentre, Otemachi, Hiroshima, Japan

Data source: Rodden AA (recorded detonation time, 08:15 JST).

Little Boy detonated some 600 m above the city. JST was UT+9 and Japan kept no summer time in 1945, so 08:15 local is 23:15 UT on 5 August. The hypocentre coordinates are the surveyed ones near the former Shima Hospital; some sources give the detonation as 08:16:02 rather than the recorded 08:15.

Reading the chart

Leo Sun, Cancer Moon, Virgo rising — a day chart, led by the Sun's agenda.

Mercury carries unusual weight here — rules the Ascendant sign (Virgo); strong essential dignity (domicile).

Stellium in Cancer: Moon, Venus, Saturn — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.

Water is the leading element (30% weighted), while fire is least emphasized — a texture worth noticing, not a verdict.

Mutable modality leads: the chart's default rhythm is adapting — adjusting and redistributing energy.

Chart ruler: Mercury in Virgo, house 12 — where this planet acts, the chart's agenda advances.

Planetary distribution: bundle — all planets within a third of the zodiac; a concentrated, specialist temperament.

Sun at 13°08′ Leo, house 11: core identity, vitality and sense of purpose operates warmly, dramatically, with creative pride — the keynote is radiance. The main arena is friends, groups, networks and long-range hopes. In its own domicile: it acts with full native resources.

Moon at 18°00′ Cancer, house 10: emotional life, instinct and the need for safety operates protectively, tidally, by feel and memory — the keynote is belonging. The main arena is career, reputation and public responsibility. In its own domicile: it acts with full native resources.

Stellium in Cancer: Moon, Venus, Saturn — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.

Moon conjunction Saturn (orb 0°13′, applying): Moon and Saturn fuse — these functions operate as one package, for better and for richer.

Uranus conjunction Midheaven (orb 0°01′): Uranus and Midheaven fuse — these functions operate as one package, for better and for richer.

Ascendant square Midheaven (orb 1°11′): Ascendant and Midheaven grind productively — friction between these functions builds real capacity when worked.
