Data source: Rodden X (no recorded time). Wikipedia's biographical article gives 16 October 1890 and no hour; no birth register entry stating a time was located.

He was born at Woodfield, Sam's Cross, County Cork, and the coordinates are those published for the birthplace cottage. No hour of birth is recorded.
Reading the chart
Libra Sun — exact Moon sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown.
Mars carries unusual weight here — strong essential dignity (exaltation).
T-square: Venus opposite Pluto, both square Saturn — the apex (Saturn) marks a recurring pressure point and growth engine.
Air is the leading element (63% 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 23°06′ 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 227.0343° → 240.2028° (Scorpio → Sagittarius).
Grand trine: Mercury, Jupiter, Neptune (air) — an easy, self-reinforcing flow between these functions.
Grand trine: Mercury, Jupiter, Pluto (air) — an easy, self-reinforcing flow between these functions.
T-square: Venus opposite Pluto, both square Saturn — the apex (Saturn) marks a recurring pressure point and growth engine.
Stellium in Libra: Sun, Mercury, Uranus — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.
Venus opposition Pluto (orb 0°21′, applying): Venus and Pluto face each other across an axis — awareness tends to arrive through other people and counterweights.
Venus opposition Neptune (orb 0°50′, separating): Venus and Neptune face each other across an axis — awareness tends to arrive through other people and counterweights.
Neptune conjunction Pluto (orb 1°11′, separating): Neptune and Pluto fuse — these functions operate as one package, for better and for richer.
