After all, I wished to try his chart this week. There isn’t a recorded start time for Tracy Chapman, so I created a dawn chart, inserting the ascendant in the identical signal as her Aries solar signal.
The 2 issues that stood out first have been the Moon in Scorpio: Chapman is notoriously personal. In truth, a part of what made this efficiency so particular is that Chapman doesn't carry out reside a lot anymore.
