David Bowie — birth chart across three traditions
Born: 1947-01-08 (time unknown) · London, United Kingdom
Data source: Rodden X (no recorded time). An encyclopedic biography gives the date and district of birth; no hour of birth is stated in the article, and times circulating elsewhere carry no cited source.
English singer, songwriter and actor known for albums including The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, Low and Blackstar. He was born David Robert Jones in Brixton, south London. No sourced hour of birth was found, so the time is left unrecorded.
Reading the chart
Capricorn Sun — exact Moon sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown.
Mars carries unusual weight here — strong essential dignity (exaltation).
Stellium in Capricorn: Sun, Mercury, Mars — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.
Earth is the leading element (47% weighted), while water is least emphasized — a texture worth noticing, not a verdict.
Cardinal modality leads: the chart's default rhythm is initiating — starting things comes naturally.
Sun at 17°22′ Capricorn: core identity, vitality and sense of purpose operates strategically, patiently, with respect for structure — the keynote is mastery.
Moon: exact longitude and sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown. Daily interval 118.1887° → 133.1495° (Cancer → Leo).
Stellium in Capricorn: Sun, Mercury, Mars — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.
Sun conjunction Mars (orb 0°33′, separating): Sun and Mars fuse — these functions operate as one package, for better and for richer.
Neptune trine North Node (orb 0°29′, applying): Neptune and North Node flow — support arrives so easily it can be taken for granted.
Mercury square Neptune (orb 2°25′, applying): Mercury and Neptune grind productively — friction between these functions builds real capacity when worked.
