Data source: Rodden X (no recorded time). An encyclopedic biography gives the date and native village; no hour of birth is stated on the page.

Reading the chart
Capricorn Sun — exact Moon sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown.
Mars carries unusual weight here — strong essential dignity (domicile); in its own domicile.
T-square: Mars opposite Jupiter, both square Venus — the apex (Venus) marks a recurring pressure point and growth engine.
Air is the leading element (37% weighted), while fire is least emphasized — a texture worth noticing, not a verdict.
Fixed modality leads: the chart's default rhythm is sustaining — consolidating and holding course.
Sun at 4°40′ 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 129.1734° → 143.7664° (Leo).
T-square: Mars opposite Jupiter, both square Venus — the apex (Venus) marks a recurring pressure point and growth engine.
Mercury trine North Node (orb 0°01′, separating): Mercury and North Node flow — support arrives so easily it can be taken for granted.
Venus square Jupiter (orb 1°49′, applying): Venus and Jupiter grind productively — friction between these functions builds real capacity when worked.
Neptune conjunction Pluto (orb 2°11′, applying): Neptune and Pluto fuse — these functions operate as one package, for better and for richer.
