Leonardo DiCaprio played his first television role in Growing Pains in 1991 and earned an Oscar nomination for What's Eating Gilbert Grape. He led the cast of Titanic, which won Academy Awards across the board on March 23, 1998, and played Howard Hughes in Martin Scorsese's The Aviator. He won the Oscar for Best Actor for The Revenant on February 28, 2016. Astro-Databank also lists him as a producer and an environmentalist.
Frank Clifford's copy of the certificate
Astro-Databank grades the time AA. Its source note, "B.C. in hand from Frank C. Clifford", means the collector had the birth certificate itself. The entry lists no other time.
Astro-Databank prints its own degrees for the chart, 18°40′ for the Sun, 15°44′ for the Moon and 3°07′ Libra for the ascendant, and our calculation gives the same three. The Moon does not leave Libra that day, so the clock mostly affects the angles and Mercury.
| Point | Sign at birth | In that sign | Before and after |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rising sign | ♎︎ Libra | 2:33 a.m. to 4:55 a.m. | Virgo before, Scorpio after |
| Midheaven | ♋︎ Cancer | 2:33 a.m. to 4:40 a.m. | Gemini before, Leo after |
| Moon | ♎︎ Libra | all day | n/a |
Both angles changed sign in the same minute
The ascendant is at 3°07′ Libra and the midheaven at 3°24′ Cancer. Both turned at 2:33 a.m.: Virgo gave way to Libra on the horizon, and Gemini gave way to Cancer at the top of the sky. That was 14 minutes before the recorded time. A chart cast for a quarter hour earlier would show Virgo rising and a Gemini midheaven, so the exact minute decides both angles.
The other edge is far off: Libra holds the horizon until 4:55 a.m., and Scorpio takes over at 4:56 a.m.
Libra rising is traditionally read as an outward manner built on tact and balance. Venus rules Libra, and here Venus is in Scorpio at 19°54′, in the 2nd house. Cancer on the midheaven points to a public role tied to care, memory and home.

Mercury and Uranus on the last degree of Libra
Mercury is at 29°45′ of Libra and Uranus at 29°25′, 0°21′ apart. Both are inside the 30th degree of the sign, and both fall in the 1st house, as do the Moon at 15°44′ and Pluto at 8°13′. That is four bodies in the 1st under Placidus and under Whole Sign alike, and no other house holds more than three. The Moon and Pluto are a wide 7°31′ apart.
Mercury stands for speech and thought, Uranus for sudden change, and their conjunction is read as quick, original thinking. Some call a degree this late in a sign anaretic and see it as a placement at the end of a cycle.
Mercury left Libra for Scorpio at 8:05 a.m. that morning, 5 hours after the recorded time, so a chart cast for a later hour would show a Scorpio Mercury.

Sun trine Saturn, eight arc minutes from exact
The Sun is at 18°40′ of Scorpio and Saturn at 18°48′ of Cancer, retrograde, 0°08′ from an exact trine. No aspect in the chart is closer, and both signs are water. In both house systems Saturn stands in the 10th, the house of career and public standing.
Venus trines Saturn too, 1°06′ from exact, and sits 1°14′ from the Sun. A Sun-Saturn trine is read as steadiness and effort that builds over years.

Sun, Venus and Mars in the 2nd house
The Sun at 18°40′, Venus at 19°54′ and Mars at 9°36′ all stand in Scorpio and all in the 2nd house, the house of money and possessions. The Sun and Mars are a wide 9°04′ apart. Mars also trines Jupiter in Pisces at 8°06′, 1°30′ from exact, with Jupiter in the 6th house.
No planet changes house between Placidus and Whole Sign here, so the two systems agree on all ten. By element the chart has five planets in water, four in air, one in fire (Neptune in Sagittarius at 8°35′) and none in earth.
