Pope Leo XIV birth chart without a birth time

Birth data

Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost, was born on September 14, 1955, in Chicago, at Mercy Hospital, now Insight Hospital and Medical Center. No public source gives his birth time, so the chart is cast for noon. Its most visible features are three planets in Virgo, three in Leo and an exact semisquare from Mars to Neptune.

What is known and what is not

The date and city come from the official biography on the Holy See's website, which gives no time. CNN and Wikidata give the same date. FOX 32 Chicago names the hospital: Mercy Hospital in Bronzeville, founded in 1852 by the Sisters of Mercy. The coordinates are those of the hospital campus.

Astro-Databank and Astrotheme both list the date without a time, so the chart carries Rodden rating X. We found no versions of the time. The Argentine site A24 writes about a Capricorn MC but gives neither a time nor a source, and an MC cannot be found without a time, so we do not treat it as a version. The astrologers at AstroStyle state plainly that his exact birth time is not known.

The chart is cast for 12:00 Central Daylight Time (CDT, UTC-5): in 1955 Chicago kept daylight saving time until October 30. Astro-Databank marks standard time for this date, while we follow the tzdb time zone database; for a chart without a time the difference changes nothing. There are no houses, Ascendant or MC (see how we handle charts without a time). The Moon's sign is not known either: that day the Moon moved from Leo into Virgo.

Sun, Venus and Mars in Virgo

Mars at 11°38′ Virgo, the Sun at 21°05′ Virgo and Venus at 24°43′ Virgo form a stellium. The Sun is conjunct Venus with an orb of 3°37′. Tradition links Virgo with precision, attention to detail, craft and service, and three personal planets in the sign make these the main themes of the chart.

In the classical scheme Venus is in its fall in Virgo: feeling is shown with restraint, through care and useful work rather than gestures. The Sun sextiles Saturn at 17°01′ Scorpio, orb 4°03′, a contact astrologers read as patience and the ability to keep the pace of long work.

Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto in Leo

Uranus at 1°02′ Leo, Jupiter at 19°58′ Leo and Pluto at 27°16′ Leo form a second stellium. Uranus and Pluto move slowly and sit in Leo in the charts of everyone born in these years. Jupiter gives the group its personal note, and the Sun is semisextile Jupiter, orb 1°07′.

Jupiter is in a square to Saturn, orb 2°56′. Tradition links this pair with tension between expansion and limits, between the generous gesture and the demand for order. Jupiter also trines the North Node at 22°08′ Sagittarius, orb 2°09′, and modern astrology reads a Node in this fire sign as a direction toward faith, learning and long journeys.

Mars and Neptune, Uranus and Chiron

The tightest aspect in the chart joins Mars at 11°38′ Virgo and Neptune at 26°39′ Libra: a semisquare with an orb of 0°00′. The semisquare, an angle of 45°, counts as a minor hard aspect that produces steady friction. Mars in Virgo looks for practical, concrete action, and the modern tradition ties Neptune to ideals and faith, so the pair is read as work that is constantly measured against an ideal.

Uranus at 1°02′ Leo is in opposition to Chiron at 0°24′ Aquarius, orb 0°37′. Neptune squares Chiron with an orb of 3°45′. Neptune also squares Uranus with an orb of 4°23′. The sextile from Neptune to Pluto, orb 0°37′, belongs to a whole generation: these two planets held the sextile for many years.
