A. R. Rahman's Birth Chart

Between Chennai's two midnights the Moon ran from 12°51′ Scorpio to 26°36′ Scorpio, stopping 3°23′ short of Sagittarius, so its sign needs no birth time; its degree does. From 5:14 AM it was in orb of a conjunction with Neptune, which a birth before then would lack, and the Last Quarter phase held throughout.

All twelve signs rose at Chennai that day, Libra twice, around the first midnight and again from 11:06 PM. Capricorn's turn ran from 5:32 AM to 7:37 AM and took in sunrise at 6:32 AM; with sunset at 5:56 PM, the missing hour also decides whether this is a day or night chart.

Cast for this date, AstroSage's 12:45 PM would give Aries rising, within 4 minutes of Taurus; GaneshaSpeaks' 5:50 AM Capricorn, before sunrise; Indastro's 4:33 PM Gemini, within 12 minutes of Cancer; GrahaGuru's 11:56 PM Libra.

All eight ranked features hold from one midnight to the next. The order sets astrological emphasis against frequency in simulated births of the 1960s: Mercury takes first and third place, the Moon's fall is the least common, and Jupiter's retrograde, the most common, comes last.

Mercury moved swiftly at a declination of 24°30′ south, past the Sun's limit of 23°26′ all day, as in about one chart in 8; astrologers who follow declination read such a planet as working outside convention. Trailing the Sun by 6°47′ to 7°21′, it was also combust, a condition found in about one chart in 4.

The Moon's fall in Scorpio turns up in about one chart in 12. Scorpio's traditional ruler, Mars, sat in detriment at 16°18′ Libra, moving slowly, a placement about one chart in 6 share. Venus ended the date just short of Aquarius and still under the Sun's beams, as in about one chart in 9, and Jupiter was retrograde in Leo, a motion seen in about 30% of charts born in the 1960s.

Of eleven aspects in orb all day, the closest is Saturn in Pisces opposite Uranus in Virgo, never as far as 0°06′ from exact, a slow pairing astrologers read as generational. Among those touching a personal planet the Sun's square to Mars is tightest, and Venus opposite Jupiter is out of sign.

Another nine held for only part of the date; just a birth between 7:06 AM, when the Moon's trine to Saturn began, and 3:12 PM, when the Sun–Moon sextile ended, would carry both.

Every planet sits within 233°03′ of the circle, and the other 126°56′, the stretch of Aries to Cancer that lies between Saturn (Pisces) and Jupiter (Leo), stays empty: Marc Edmund Jones's locomotive, found in about one chart in 11 from the 1960s and testable in the chart pattern analyzer. Earth holds five planets, the Capricorn trio and the Virgo pair of Uranus and Pluto, a weighting found in about one chart in 6; cardinal signs lead the modes.

Of the databank's pages, Ratan Tata's sits nearest, matching both signs the date settles, a Capricorn Sun and a Scorpio Moon. Elvis Presley follows on close Sun and Venus degrees, Salman Khan and Jeff Bezos on the Sun alone. The roster lists nobody else born on January 6, 1967.

At the Lahiri ayanamsa of 23°23′, the Sun and Mercury fall back into Dhanu (Sagittarius), Mars into Kanya (Virgo) and Jupiter into Karka (Cancer); Venus keeps Makara (Capricorn). The Moon passed from Tula (Libra) into Vrishchika (Scorpio) that evening, after every circulating hour but GrahaGuru's 11:56 PM. Jyotish counts Vrishchika as the Moon's debilitation, so in the Vedic chart even the Moon's debilitation waits on the hour.

Saturn first reached its noon position, 24°21′ Pisces, on June 14, 1995, recrossed it moving backward, and passed it a third time on February 21, 1996; the second return took a single pass, on March 30, 2025. Jupiter has come home five times, last on July 6, 2026.

The Wikidata point for Chennai stands in for the unnumbered Pudupet house, about two kilometers off. Longitudes come from the two midnights bounding the date on Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30), with no daylight or war time in 1967, and declinations, speeds and return degrees from local noon.
