An astrologer mother, quoted twice
Astro-Databank's Source Notes read: "Jany Bessiere quotes his astrologer mother. Same from Davies in "Signs of the Stars."" That makes the hour a recollection, which is why the entry is rated A.
The file lists no other time, so 7:20 p.m. alone carries the chart.

Rising sign, midheaven and Moon calculated by us, New York City, Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4).
A Libra Moon just past the top of the chart
The Moon at 22°46′ of Libra lies 0°47′ past the midheaven at 21°59′ Libra, and Libra held the midheaven from 5:59 p.m. to 7:50 p.m. The 10th house is where Placidus files it, the 11th is where Whole Sign does, and the sign stays Libra all day.
Astrologers weigh a Moon this close to the high point as feeling made public, and Libra adds a pull toward balance and appearances. Jupiter at 18°10′ stands 3°49′ before the same point and joins the Moon, 4°36′ apart, which suggests generous, expansive feeling set in a visible place. Neptune is in Libra here as well.

Sagittarius on the horizon until 7:26 p.m.
Sagittarius held the New York horizon from 5:04 p.m. to 7:26 p.m. The birth came 136 minutes into that stretch, with 6 left before Capricorn took the horizon. The ascendant at 28°33′ Sagittarius sits near the sign's end, a degree astrologers treat as Sagittarius at full strength.
Jupiter, the traditional ruler of Sagittarius, has moved into Libra and sits close to the midheaven, which Placidus calls the 9th house and Whole Sign the 11th. Readers take a ruler in a prominent place as an outward manner tied to public life, shaded by travel and wide horizons in one system and by audiences and groups in the other.

Mercury joined to Pluto in Leo, with Venus further on
Mercury at 10°16′ and Pluto at 10°35′ of Leo are 0°19′ apart, the tightest aspect in the chart. Mercury joined to Pluto suggests a mind that digs and speech that carries weight, and Leo gives it a dramatic, central voice. Venus at 22°04′ of Leo makes three bodies in the sign.
The house system decides how the trio reads. Placidus lands it in the 8th, the house of depth and change, while Whole Sign puts it in the 9th, which points to writing, publishing and a wide audience.

Cancer Sun beside Saturn, squared by Jupiter
The Sun at 14°15′ of Cancer and Saturn at 26°34′ share the sign, and Placidus puts both in the 7th house, Whole Sign in the 8th. Saturn in the Sun's sign gives a steady, serious tone under the Sun's warmth.
Jupiter squares the Sun, 3°55′ from exact, which the tradition takes as an appetite for more than the Sun alone would reach for. With the Moon, Jupiter and Neptune in Libra, five of the ten bodies stand in cardinal signs, the kind that begin things.
