Satya Nadella's Birth Chart

The Moon covered 12°50′, from 9°21′ Aquarius to 22°11′ Aquarius, all inside Aquarius. At that pace it had entered the sign about 17 hours before the opening midnight and was some 15 hours short of Pisces at the closing one.

The hour decides several of its contacts: the oppositions to Mercury and the Sun begin at 1:19 AM and 11:34 AM; the sextile to Saturn lapses at 2:28 PM. Nothing went out of bounds; the Moon came closest at the opening midnight, 22°43′ south against a 23°26′ limit.

At 17°21′ north the whole zodiac crossed the Hyderabad horizon that day, with Gemini at each end. Pisces and Aries passed in 1 hour 36 minutes each, Cancer and Sagittarius lingered 2 hours 13 minutes, so a time known only to within two hours could straddle two signs; no houses appear here.

AstroSage's midnight would catch Gemini rising 4 minutes after the sign appeared, plus a Yod aimed at Venus that broke up when the Moon's quincunx to Venus lapsed at 10:40 AM. Day or night in sect terms hinges on sunrise at 5:59 AM and sunset at 6:39 PM.

All eight ranked features hold for the full date. Rank blends a feature's weight in a reading with its scarcity among 1960s births, so the fixed-sign tally (about one chart in 17), scarcer than retrograde Venus (about one chart in 15), still ranks only 7th.

Venus reversed direction roughly ten days before the date and drifted back from 11°52′ Virgo to 11°27′ Virgo across it; Virgo is its fall (about one chart in 11). Modern writers read a backward Venus as affection reconsidered before it is shown.

Leo is the Sun's one sign of rule (about one chart in 12), and the Sun stayed there, 25°07′ Leo to 26°04′ Leo. Mars holds Scorpio, its classical home, at 16°03′ Scorpio, a pairing in about one chart in 7. Saturn's fall in Aries (about one chart in 5) comes with retrograde motion at 11°57′ Aries.

Mercury gained on the Sun all day, closing from 6°09′ to 5°06′: combust by the old eight-degree rule (about one chart in 4); Jupiter began combust and ended under the beams. Saturn is the lone cardinal planet against six fixed ones (about one chart in 17), a tilt modern astrologers tie to persistence.

Jupiter in Leo opposes the Aquarius Moon, and Mars, from Scorpio, squares each at the apex, so the planet astrologers say bears the strain is in its own sign. The Mars–Jupiter leg held between 1°17′ and 1°39′ while the Moon–Jupiter opposition perfected. Some practitioners treat Taurus, the empty point, as the outlet.

The tightest all-day contact is Venus quincunx Saturn, never wider than 0°27′. By the closing midnight the Moon sat in five T-squares, against a lone one at the opening midnight.

On date-only features the nearest pages are Jennifer Lopez, Christopher Nolan, Bill Clinton and Whitney Houston, sharing only the Leo Sun. Clinton, born August 19, 1946, has his Sun within a degree of Nadella's; no one here shares the full date.

Subtract the Lahiri ayanamsa of 23°24′ and nine of the ten planets fall back a sign. The Sun barely holds Leo, at 1°42′ Leo; the Moon reads Capricorn all day, 1°12′ short of sidereal Aquarius at the end, which makes this a Makara rashi chart.

Saturn first regained its Aries degree on April 13, 1997, at age 29.6. In 2026 the cycles met: Jupiter crossed its Leo degree on September 21, 2026, and five days later a retrograde Saturn recrossed its own. Jupiter's 5th return and Saturn's 2nd come at nearly the same age, 59.1 and 58.8.

Both midnights of the date on Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30), a clock without daylight saving, were cast with precise astronomical calculations, and aspects were tested every 10 minutes of the local date; that grid dates the Yod's 10:40 AM break. Each rate is the share of computer-drawn 1960s births, timed at random and placed in size-weighted cities, that carry the feature.
