Tu Youyou — birth chart across three traditions
Born: 1930-12-30 (time unknown) · Ningbo, China
Data source: Rodden X (no recorded time). Her Nobel Prize autobiography states 30 December 1930 in Ningbo, but gives no hour of birth.
Chinese pharmaceutical chemist who identified artemisinin, the antimalarial compound derived from sweet wormwood, and shared the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Her first-person Nobel biography documents the full date and Ningbo birthplace. No time of day is published, so this chart intentionally omits houses and angles.
Reading the chart
Capricorn Sun — Moon sign, rising sign and sect are unavailable because the birth time is unknown.
Saturn carries unusual weight here — strong essential dignity (domicile); in its own domicile.
T-square: Jupiter opposite Saturn, both square Uranus — the apex (Uranus) marks a recurring pressure point and growth engine.
Earth is the leading element (49% 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 7°45′ 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 23.8816° → 36.3517° (Aries → Taurus).
T-square: Jupiter opposite Saturn, both square Uranus — the apex (Uranus) marks a recurring pressure point and growth engine.
Stellium in Capricorn: Sun, Mercury, Saturn — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.
Mercury opposition Pluto (orb 1°46′, applying): Mercury and Pluto face each other across an axis — awareness tends to arrive through other people and counterweights.
Sun trine Neptune (orb 2°05′, separating): Sun and Neptune flow — support arrives so easily it can be taken for granted.
Pluto square North Node (orb 0°20′, separating): Pluto and North Node grind productively — friction between these functions builds real capacity when worked.
