Astrology for the 21st Century

This week Christopher Ciccone published his memoir 'Life With My Sister Madonna', so here's his birth chart.

The Sun changed Signs at 2:18am local time on the day he was born, and since we have no time of birth for him we can't calculate which Sun Sign he has: it could be Scorpio, or it could be Sagittarius.

I'll leave interpretation until another time and for now just present Christopher's chart wheel.

In a bookshop reading a biography of Boris Johnson it contained an extract from a letter his father sent to the person they named Boris after, Boris Litwin. In the letter Boris's father said that Boris was born at 2pm.

That sounds like a rounded time to me, but since the Moon changed Signs at 12:49pm local time the day Boris was born, so unless his father was so utterly mistaken about the time of birth that he got it wildly wrong - and since he'd just nipped out for a pizza at the time, it's unlikely it's so far out - it seems almost certain that Boris's Moon is in Scorpio, not Libra.

So here's the birthchart for Boris based on this data:
