A certificate in hand, and a time nobody could find
Viktor E., who contributed the entry, noted the "birth certificate in hand," and it gives 3:20 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time in Louisville, Kentucky.
The entry used to say 8:17 p.m., "from the French website Astrotheme quoting the biography by Anne Hill as a source, but the time of birth could not be located in that source." The Moon stays in Gemini either way, but 8:17 p.m. would bring 17°28′ of Aquarius and a Sagittarius midheaven, where the certificate has Sagittarius rising under Virgo.

Rising sign, midheaven and Moon calculated by us for each time, Louisville, Eastern Daylight Time.
Sagittarius ascendant under a Virgo midheaven
Sagittarius rose over Louisville at 3:06 p.m. and holds the horizon until 5:26 p.m., so she was born 14 minutes after it began. The ascendant is 2°52′ Sagittarius. Sagittarius rising is taken as an open, restless way of meeting people.
Her midheaven, which marks public standing, is 17°08′ Virgo, and Virgo keeps it for 47 more minutes after her birth. Virgo at the top of a chart goes with careful work and an eye for detail.

Mercury in the 10th house, trine Saturn within 0°13′
Mercury sits 2°29′ from the midheaven, in the 10th house of career and reputation, whichever house system you use. Mercury rules thinking and speech, and Virgo is its home sign, which puts a precise mind in a visible place.
Retrograde Saturn, at 19°51′ of Capricorn, trines it, 0°13′ from exact. Mercury trine Saturn is taken to mean patient, disciplined thinking.

Mars, Mercury and Saturn in a closed earth trine
Mars, at 21°34′ of Taurus, trines Saturn, 1°43′ from exact, and trines Mercury, 1°56′ off. With the Mercury-Saturn trine, that closes a triangle of earth signs, and half her ten planets sit in Virgo, Taurus or Capricorn.
Such a triangle suggests practical drive, with Mars supplying the push, Saturn the structure and Mercury the planning. Mars falls in the 6th house in both systems, the house of daily routine.

Three outer planets in Capricorn, all in the 2nd house
Saturn, at 19°51′, Uranus, at 5°58′, and Neptune, at 12°11′, are all retrograde in Capricorn, in the 2nd house in both systems; that house covers what a person values and builds on. Uranus and Neptune are 6°13′ apart and move slowly, so everyone born in those years has them.
Saturn stands for limits, Uranus for sudden change and Neptune for imagination, here in Capricorn, the sign of structure and long effort. The trio is read as a generation that rebuilds old institutions.

Jupiter on the last degree of Cancer
Jupiter stands at 29°28′ of Cancer, the last degree before Leo, in the 8th house in both systems. It rules her Sagittarius ascendant, and in the classical scheme Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, which means the planet of growth is said to work well there.
Venus, at 2°18′ of Leo, lies 2°50′ past it across the sign line, still a conjunction by astrologers' orbs. Placidus puts Venus in the 8th with Jupiter; Whole Sign moves it to the 9th.

Leo Sun squared by Mars, with a Gemini Moon
The Sun, at 22°42′ of Leo, squares Mars, 1°08′ from exact, a pairing read as willpower meeting stubborn drive. Both systems file the Sun under the 9th house, which covers travel and learning.
The Moon, at 21°11′ of Gemini, sextiles the Sun, 1°31′ off, and squares Mercury, 1°33′ off. It entered Gemini at 3:42 a.m. on August 14 and leaves at 6:13 a.m. on August 16, in the 7th house in both systems. A Gemini Moon suggests feeling that comes out through talk.
