Barack Obama's seven placements by sign: Sun in Leo, Moon in Taurus/Gemini, Mercury in Leo, Venus in Cancer, Mars in Virgo, Jupiter in Aquarius, Saturn in Capricorn. Sun: Leo Moon: Taurus/Gemini Mercury: Leo Venus: Cancer Mars: Virgo Jupiter: Aquarius Saturn: Capricorn
The twelve signs from Aries at nine o'clock. The house's tables give each planet's sign, not its degree, so each is drawn across its sign; the Moon stands at its computed degree, with the band it crosses in the day. No houses: the tables claim no Ascendant.

About the archive

How precise is Barack Obama's birth data on this page?

The linked biography reports the birth date and place. This dataset leaves the time blank, so Horospire treats the Moon as date-level data.

What is calculated and what is interpreted?

The seven planet-to-sign placements are calculated from the displayed birth inputs. Horospire then applies its own modern maternal-line framework as a symbolic interpretation. The interpretation is not a verified fact about Barack Obama's family or life.

Does this reading explain Barack Obama's achievements or experiences?

No. The biography establishes public context, while the chart is a separate symbolic reading. It does not explain ability, personality, health, suffering, relationships, or historical events.
