Stephen Hawking — birth chart across three traditions
Born: 1942-01-08 (time unknown) · Oxford, United Kingdom
Data source: Rodden X (no recorded time). An encyclopedic biography gives 8 January 1942 at Oxford and states no hour of birth.
Theoretical physicist known for work on black hole radiation and on cosmological singularities. He was born in Oxford, where his family had moved during the war. The source records the date with no time of birth.
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.
Grand trine: Mercury, Uranus, Neptune (earth) — an easy, self-reinforcing flow between these functions.
Earth is the leading element (56% 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 17°33′ 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 168.5225° → 181.7795° (Virgo → Libra).
Grand trine: Mercury, Uranus, Neptune (earth) — an easy, self-reinforcing flow between these functions.
Mercury square Mars (orb 0°16′, applying): Mercury and Mars grind productively — friction between these functions builds real capacity when worked.
Venus square Saturn (orb 1°04′, applying): Venus and Saturn grind productively — friction between these functions builds real capacity when worked.
Mercury trine Uranus (orb 1°24′, separating): Mercury and Uranus flow — support arrives so easily it can be taken for granted.
