Fela Kuti — birth chart across three traditions
Born: 1938-10-15 (time unknown) · Abeokuta, Nigeria
Data source: Rodden X (no recorded time). An encyclopedic biography gives the date and city of birth; no hour of birth is stated in the article.
Nigerian multi-instrumentalist and bandleader who developed Afrobeat, combining highlife, jazz and Yoruba music with political lyrics. The birth date and city are consistently reported in the biographical record. No time of birth is documented.
Reading the chart
Libra Sun — exact Moon sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown.
Mars carries unusual weight here — strong essential dignity (multiple dignities).
Air is the leading element (42% 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 21°26′ Libra: core identity, vitality and sense of purpose operates relationally, aesthetically, by weighing and balancing — the keynote is equilibrium. In fall: its confidence runs low here; support from allied planets matters (check its aspects).
Moon: exact longitude and sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown. Daily interval 92.0519° → 106.2087° (Cancer).
Sun trine Jupiter (orb 0°59′, applying): Sun and Jupiter flow — support arrives so easily it can be taken for granted.
Sun conjunction Mercury (orb 3°30′, separating): Sun and Mercury fuse — these functions operate as one package, for better and for richer.
Venus trine Pluto (orb 0°35′, applying): Venus and Pluto flow — support arrives so easily it can be taken for granted.
