David Bowie January 8, 1947 · 9:00 AM · Brixton, London · Time given by the family. The rating comes from Lois Rodden’s scale, which ranks birth times by their source: AA, the birth certificate; A, the family or the person themselves; B, a biography; C, a doubtful source; X, no known time. Our times come from Astro-Databank. Signs give your inner colouring: what you feel, what drives you. The birth time sets the Ascendant, how you approach the world and the impression you give, and the houses, which divide your life into areas (love, work, home…). It also pins down the Moon’s position. Without a time, the reading keeps the signs and aspects, but no Ascendant or houses. ±15 min → Asc 28°00' Capricorn – 9°18' Aquarius · sign uncertain
