Jesse Owens — birth chart across three traditions
Born: 1913-09-12 (time unknown) · Oakville, United States
Data source: Rodden X (no recorded time). An encyclopedic biography gives the day, the parents and the Alabama community; no hour is recorded anywhere consulted.
American track and field athlete who won four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games in the 100 m, 200 m, long jump and sprint relay. Born in rural Lawrence County, Alabama; the coordinates are those of the Oakville community itself. No birth hour survives, so the houses are undetermined.
Reading the chart
Virgo Sun — exact Moon sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown.
Mercury carries unusual weight here — strong essential dignity (domicile); in its own domicile.
Earth is the leading element (42% 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.
Sun at 19°21′ Virgo: core identity, vitality and sense of purpose operates precisely, usefully, through discernment and craft — the keynote is refinement.
Moon: exact longitude and sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown. Daily interval 313.1288° → 325.0737° (Aquarius).
Sun square Saturn (orb 1°28′, separating): Sun and Saturn grind productively — friction between these functions builds real capacity when worked.
Sun conjunction Mercury (orb 3°31′, applying): Sun and Mercury fuse — these functions operate as one package, for better and for richer.
Sun opposition Lilith (mean apogee) (orb 2°22′, applying): Sun and Lilith (mean apogee) face each other across an axis — awareness tends to arrive through other people and counterweights.
