Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan — birth chart across three traditions
Born: 1948-10-13 (time unknown) · Faisalabad, Pakistan
Data source: Rodden X (no recorded time). An encyclopedic biography gives the date and city of birth in its summary panel; no hour of birth is stated anywhere in the article.
Pakistani singer of qawwali, the devotional music of the Sufi tradition, who also recorded film scores and cross-genre collaborations. He was born in Lyallpur, now Faisalabad, in what was then West Punjab. 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 (domicile); in its own domicile.
Water is the leading element (35% 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 19°50′ 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 320.8322° → 332.6900° (Aquarius → Pisces).
Mercury opposition North Node (orb 1°23′, separating): Mercury and North Node face each other across an axis — awareness tends to arrive through other people and counterweights.
Venus opposition Lilith (mean apogee) (orb 1°36′, applying): Venus and Lilith (mean apogee) face each other across an axis — awareness tends to arrive through other people and counterweights.
Mercury sextile Saturn (orb 0°59′, applying): Mercury and Saturn cooperate when invited — an opportunity aspect that rewards small deliberate efforts.
