Famous People Born with the Sun in Sagittarius

Each card gives the Sun's degree at local noon, or at the recorded hour where a chart page has one, so each one-degree bar spans about a calendar day and averages 10 people. The bar from 4°00′ to 5°00′ holds three, the fewest in the sign: Kathryn Bigelow (American filmmaker, born November 27, 1951), Jimi Hendrix (American guitarist, born November 27, 1942) and one November 26 birth. Bruce Lee (Martial artist and film actor, born November 27, 1940) is one bar up at 5°14′, his card set at the hour on his chart page. Leap years and birthplace longitude move the Sun's noon position on a given date, so each of those birthdays spreads across two bars, and few landed in the thin one.

The tallest bar, 16°00′ to 17°00′, holds 19, and the one beneath it, third in height, adds 17; those two degrees carry 12% of the list. Ten degrees on, 26°00′ comes second with 18, Billie Eilish (Singer-songwriter, born December 18, 2001) among them. Dropping change-day births can thin only the first and last bars, which still hold 9 and 8, so the method accounts for neither the dip nor the peaks.

Spread evenly through the year, births would put 8.1% of the roster here, the fraction of 1800 to 2009 the Sun spent in Sagittarius, about 29.5 days a year. That is under a twelfth because the Sun crosses the sign just before early January, when Earth comes closest to the Sun and the Sun appears to move fastest. Against an expected 311, the list has 299 (7.8%), 4% below.

The shortfall is under the square root of the expected count, a rough yardstick for chance in a tally this size, and no formal test has been run. Nor is the roster a random sample: it leans toward recent decades, English-reading countries and a few fields, and births vary with the season.

The 1960s to the 1980s supply 40, 43 and 41, more than any other decade. The 1950s add only 23, behind the 1940s (35) and the 1990s (32). The 2000s hold three; the roster admits no one under 18, which shuts out the decade's latest births. Before 1900, counts are small enough for one name to matter: the 1830s give six, more than any decade from the 1840s to the 1880s, Mark Twain (American author and humorist, born November 30, 1835) among them.

Fields come from Wikidata descriptions and occupations; ten appear here. Entertainment has 135 (45%), where the roster's 42% would give about 126; sports has 44 against roughly 49, and music matches the roster at 43. Both gaps fall under the square root of the predicted count, and neither has been tested; nothing here suggests the sign steers anyone toward a field.

Cards follow the roster's demand score, page views weighted up for people tied to the United States, India, the Philippines or Britain: Bruce Lee leads, then Taylor Swift (Singer-songwriter, born December 13, 1989). Brad Pitt (Film actor and producer, born December 18, 1963) and Steven Spielberg (American filmmaker, born December 18, 1946) share a birthday, and their cards sit 0°19′ apart, Pitt's set at his chart page's hour and Spielberg's at noon. For any other date, the birth chart calculator gives the Sun's degree.
