A certificate on the news, a number on video
Astro-Databank rates 4:04 p.m. Eastern Standard Time AA. The source note reads: "Craft quotes birth certificate shown on ABC newscast," with an image of the document.
Emitt Dubé sent in the January 2026 video that gives 4:39pm. Astro-Databank notes that he "does not show his birth certificate or appear to be reading from it" and calls the figure "apparently incorrect considering that we have a copy of his birth certificate stating 4:04 PM."

Rising sign, midheaven and Moon calculated by us for each time, Akron, Ohio, Eastern Standard Time.
Gemini at 4:04, Cancer at 4:39
The ascendant is 26°27′ Gemini. Gemini has been rising over Akron since 2:26 p.m., and Cancer takes over at 4:20 p.m. At 4:39 p.m. the ascendant would stand 19 minutes into Cancer, at 4°28′ Cancer. No planet changes sign across those 35 minutes, and the midheaven stays in Pisces.
A Gemini ascendant is read as a talkative, curious first impression, a Cancer one as guarded and protective. Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, is at 17°05′ of Sagittarius; Placidus counts it in the 6th house, Whole Sign in the 7th.

Mars 2°19′ beyond the midheaven
The midheaven is 1°58′ Pisces. Pisces took it over at 3:57 p.m., 7 minutes before the birth. Mars at 4°17′ of Pisces stands 2°19′ past that point, and the midheaven reaches Mars's degree at 4:13 p.m., 9 minutes after the recorded time. Both house systems put Mars in the 10th house.
The midheaven is the tradition's point for vocation and reputation, and a planet near it is read as the energy a person is seen through. Mars is drive and Pisces a fluid sign, so Mars here is read as effort that adapts to the field it works in.

Mars and Pluto, a near-exact trine
Mars at 4°17′ of Pisces and Pluto at 4°20′ of Scorpio are 0°03′ from an exact trine, the smallest orb of any aspect here. Their degrees nearly match, and Mars is the traditional ruler of Scorpio, the sign Pluto occupies.
The tradition gives a trine ease, Mars drive and Pluto endurance, so the pair is read as force that arrives without strain. Placidus puts Pluto in the 5th house, traditionally play and performance; Whole Sign puts it in the 6th, daily work.

Capricorn Sun and Aries Moon, a wide square
The Sun is at 9°22′ of Capricorn, where it has stood since December 21, and the Moon at 16°24′ of Aries, a square 7°02′ wide. Capricorn carries patience and long effort in the tradition, Aries directness. Jupiter at 21°12′ and Neptune at 1°26′ share Capricorn, and Whole Sign puts all three in the 8th house.
The Moon crossed into Aries at 6:50 a.m. on December 29 and leaves at 7:37 p.m. on December 31. It sits in the 11th house under both systems and trines Mercury (0°41′) and Uranus (1°06′) in Sagittarius, a fire-to-fire link read as easy enthusiasm.

Venus square Saturn, fixed sign to fixed sign
Venus at 25°06′ of Aquarius squares Saturn at 24°37′ of Scorpio, 0°28′ from exact and second only to the Mars-Pluto trine. Saturn is the traditional ruler of Aquarius, and both signs are fixed. Venus covers attraction and values and Saturn limits, so the square is read as a pull between what is liked and what lasts. Venus is in the 9th house under both systems.
