Andrei Sakharov: birth chart

Physicist and human rights advocate

There is no documented birth time, so this page has no rising sign and no houses, and the Moon is given as a range for the day. The Sun and the planets are placed for noon, local time; Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars can differ by up to about a degree from the true moment.

Timezone records for this place before 1970 are uncertain, so any clock time on this page may be off. The rising sign and the time a body changes sign depend on it.

A chart describes positions in the sky at one moment and place. It does not describe a person's character or life, and nothing on this page says it does.
