Orson Welles — birth chart across three traditions
Born: 1915-05-06 (time unknown) · Kenosha, United States
Data source: Rodden X (no recorded time). Wikipedia states the full date and city of birth; the article records no hour.
American actor, writer and director of Citizen Kane, and the maker of the 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast, with a long career in theatre and film on both sides of the Atlantic. The date and place are firmly documented; no source states a time of birth.
Reading the chart
Taurus Sun — exact Moon sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown.
Mars carries unusual weight here — strong essential dignity (domicile); in its own domicile.
Earth is the leading element (33% weighted), while air 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 15°07′ Taurus: core identity, vitality and sense of purpose operates steadily, sensually, with a taste for the durable — the keynote is consolidation.
Moon: exact longitude and sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown. Daily interval 314.9580° → 328.0290° (Aquarius).
Sun square Uranus (orb 0°28′, applying): Sun and Uranus grind productively — friction between these functions builds real capacity when worked.
Saturn conjunction Pluto (orb 1°12′, applying, out of sign): Saturn and Pluto fuse — these functions operate as one package, for better and for richer.
Mercury sextile Jupiter (orb 0°14′, separating): Mercury and Jupiter cooperate when invited — an opportunity aspect that rewards small deliberate efforts.
