Stephen Hawking: birth chart

Theoretical physicist

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.

The chart

What these placements mean in general

These are the general texts for each placement, built from the traditional meanings of the body and the sign. They are the same on every chart that has the placement and do not describe the person on this page.

Sun in Capricorn

Sun is associated with identity, vitality, purpose, will, recognition. Capricorn is traditionally associated with measuring effort against results over long periods and organising life around what will still be standing later.

Moon in Virgo

Moon is associated with feeling, need, habit, memory, care. Virgo is traditionally associated with working by improvement: finding the gap between what a thing is and what it could be, and closing it.

Moon in Libra

Moon is associated with feeling, need, habit, memory, care. Libra is traditionally associated with thinking in relationships: judging a choice by what it does to the balance between people.

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.
