Carlos Alcaraz birth chart without a confirmed time

Birth data

Carlos Alcaraz was born on May 5, 2003, in El Palmar, a small district of the municipality of Murcia in Spain. He is the second of four sons of Virginia Garfia and Carlos Alcaraz González, and he learned tennis at the club in El Palmar, where his father was director of the tennis school. His birth time comes only from a source that cannot be checked, so the chart is cast for noon. Its most visible features are a fixed T-square with the Sun at the apex and a near-exact quintile from the Sun to Uranus.

What is known and what is not

The date and place are not in dispute. Wikidata, the Spanish outlet Vozpópuli and the magazine ¡HOLA! give May 5, 2003, El Palmar. Astro-Databank gives the centre of Murcia instead, but El Palmar belongs to that municipality and lies about 6 km from the centre. The hospital is not known, so the coordinates are those of El Palmar.

There is one version of the time: "around 3 in the morning". Astro-Databank explains where it comes from. Astrotheme supplied a link to a video on the astrology YouTube channel AstroLab, published on May 5, 2022. In it, a man Astro-Databank calls "Jaime from Panama" shows a screenshot of a message thread he claims to have had with Alcaraz's mother, with the words "Carlitos nacio sobre las 3 de la manana", Carlitos was born around 3 in the morning. That time gives an Aquarius Ascendant.

Astrotheme rates this time A, while Astro-Databank, on the same evidence, rates it C, "accuracy in question". We follow C: the message cannot be verified, and the time is rounded to the hour. We found no quote from Alcaraz or his family with an hour of birth in the Spanish press. The chart therefore carries a Rodden rating of C, and we do not use 3:00 a.m. as the main time.

The chart is cast for 12:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2), which Spain kept in May 2003. There are no houses, Ascendant or MC (see the section on charts without a time). Without a time the Moon's sign cannot be fixed: the Moon was in Gemini until about 17:40 local time and then entered Cancer. With the 3:00 a.m. version it is in Gemini. The Sun stayed in Taurus all day.

A fixed T-square

Jupiter at 9°32′ Leo and Neptune at 13°09′ Aquarius are in opposition with an orb of 3°36′. The Sun at 14°30′ Taurus squares Neptune with an orb of 1°21′ and squares Jupiter with an orb of 4°58′. Together they form a T-square in the fixed signs with the Sun at the apex. Mars at 7°56′ Aquarius also opposes Jupiter, with an orb of 1°35′.

Tradition links the fixed cross with endurance and the ability to sustain one effort for a long time. With the Sun at the apex in Taurus, the person becomes the point through which the tension between Jupiter's breadth in Leo and Neptune's dream in Aquarius passes.

Sun quintile Uranus

The tightest of all the aspects in the chart joins the Sun at 14°30′ Taurus and Uranus at 2°23′ Pisces: a quintile with an orb of 0°07′. Modern astrology links the quintile, a fifth of the circle, with talent, a creative approach and a personal style.

The Sun also makes a biquintile to Pluto at 19°28′ Sagittarius with an orb of 1°02′, and Uranus is quintile Pluto with an orb of 0°54′.

Sun and Mercury in Taurus

Mercury at 17°29′ Taurus, retrograde, is conjunct the Sun with an orb of 2°58′. The tightest major aspect in the chart joins Mercury and Chiron at 18°04′ Capricorn: a trine with an orb of 0°35′. The Sun also trines Chiron, with an orb of 3°34′. Tradition reads earth trines as a practical mind that learns through experience and repetition.

Venus at 16°37′ Aries squares Chiron with an orb of 1°27′ and trines Pluto with an orb of 2°51′. Classical astrology counts Venus in Aries as in its detriment: its tastes here are direct and impatient.
