* The Ascendant and Midheaven depend on the birth time. Any time between about 8:45 PM and 10:50 PM still gives Leo rising, so houses are not used for his forecasts, which count solar houses from his Sun. This is a Western (tropical) chart: in Vedic (sidereal, Lahiri) astrology the same moment gives the Sun in Scorpio, the Moon in Capricorn and Cancer lagna.
Sun in Sagittarius trine Pluto: the larger-than-life hero
The Sun at 20°05′ Sagittarius makes a close trine to Pluto in Leo (0°19′) and a sextile to Neptune in Libra. Sagittarius is the sign of optimism, faith and big gestures; the trine to Pluto adds charisma and an almost mythic power over audiences, and the sextile to Neptune adds the ability to embody collective dreams on screen.
This triangle of Sun, Neptune and Pluto describes a performer whose image reaches far beyond ordinary celebrity.
Moon in Aquarius: simplicity and independence
The Moon at 5°48′ Aquarius describes an emotional nature that values independence, friendship and equality. Aquarius Moons often keep a certain detachment from fame and prefer simplicity in private life. The Moon trines Saturn in Libra, adding emotional discipline and steadiness over the long term.
Venus in Sagittarius and Mars in Capricorn
Venus at 27°05′ Sagittarius, close to the Sun, adds warmth, humour and a generous, theatrical style. Mars at 27°54′ Capricorn adds endurance and a capacity for hard, sustained work, and trines Saturn, linking ambition to patience: the qualities of a career built over five decades.
Mercury opposite Uranus: the signature style
Mercury at 10°10′ Capricorn opposes Uranus in Cancer. This aspect is associated with an unexpected, original way of expressing oneself, quick timing and a taste for the unusual. In a performer, it fits a style of dialogue delivery and gesture that audiences recognise instantly and imitate.
Leo rising? About the birth time
The reported time of 9:45 PM gives Leo rising at 13°38′ and a Taurus Midheaven. Leo rising fits a natural star presence and a love of the stage, and any time within about an hour either side keeps Leo on the Ascendant.
Because the time comes from a biography (Rodden rating B), the rising sign is likely but not certain, and his monthly forecasts use solar houses counted from his Sun in Sagittarius.
