David Bowie birth chart.
Musician and actor — five decades of reinvention.
The data behind this chart. Born January 8, 1947 at 09:00, Brixton, London, UK. Source: Astrodatabank, Rodden rating AA (birth record). This atlas publishes only charts whose birth data carries an Astrodatabank Rodden rating of AA or A — birth records and personal reports, never fan-wiki estimates. Everything below is computed from those inputs by the observatory engine; nothing is copied from another reading.

- Sun in Capricorn at 17°15′, house 12
- Moon in Leo at 3°50′, house 7
- Mercury in Capricorn at 8°12′, house 12
- Venus in Sagittarius at 2°09′, house 11

- Neptune in Libra at 10°48′, house 9

Condition and emphasis
- On the angles: Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto — planets in angular houses carry the loudest voice in a chart.
- Mars is essentially dignified (net +7: exaltation, triplicity (cooperating), decan).
- Near-exact aspects: Sun conjunction Mars (0.5°).
- Chart shape: Planets span two-thirds of the wheel, leaving one-third empty — the 'locomotive' is the leading planet pulling the cargo behind it. Self-driven, forward-directed.
The Vedic view
Sidereal (Lahiri ayanamsa, 23.11° subtracted from the tropical longitudes): Sun in Dhanu (Sagittarius), Moon in Karka (Cancer), Makara (Capricorn) rising. The Moon occupies Pushya nakshatra, pada 3, ruled by Saturn — the lunar mansion that opens the Vimshottari dasha sequence.
The BaZi view
Four Pillars: year 丙戌, month 辛丑, day 丁亥, hour 乙巳. The Day Master is 丁 (火水), year of the 狗; Fire leads the five-element tally.
