Atomic Bombing of Nagasaki — birth chart across three traditions

Born: 1945-08-09 at 11:02 · Urakami Valley, Nagasaki, Japan

Data source: Rodden AA (recorded detonation time, 11:02 JST).

Fat Man exploded 47 seconds after release, about 1,800 feet above the Urakami valley. JST was UT+9, so 11:02 local is 02:02 UT. The chart is cast for the valley the bomb fell over rather than the city centre, which lies some distance south.

Reading the chart

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

Sun carries unusual weight here — sect luminary of this day chart; in an angular house (10).

Stellium in Leo: Sun, Moon, Pluto — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.

Fire is the leading element (31% weighted), while earth is least emphasized — a texture worth noticing, not a verdict.

Cardinal modality leads: the chart's default rhythm is initiating — starting things comes naturally.

Chart ruler: Venus in Cancer, house 9 — 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 16°07′ Leo, house 10: core identity, vitality and sense of purpose operates warmly, dramatically, with creative pride — the keynote is radiance. The main arena is career, reputation and public responsibility. In its own domicile: it acts with full native resources.

Moon at 28°45′ Leo, house 11: emotional life, instinct and the need for safety operates warmly, dramatically, with creative pride — the keynote is radiance. The main arena is friends, groups, networks and long-range hopes.
