Apr 14: Leonardo da Vinci & Liz Renay

[Jim Eshelman]

Da Vinci, Leonardo. April 14, 1452 OS, 9:43 PM LMT, Vinci, Italy (AA).
Renay, Liz. April 14, 1926, 6:00 AM, Chandler, AZ (AA).

Da Vinci's family diary recorded, "A grandson of mine was born April 15, Saturday, three hours into the night." Florentine time measured from sunset, which occurred a6 6:53 PM LMT, so three hours later was 9:53 PM LMT on April 14 (as now measured). (This was April 23 NS.) - I'm not sure why Arthur Blackwell gave 9:46 PM, though the difference is theoretical since this time is only given to the nearest hour.

Of several female possibilities, I picked Liz Renay as somebody audacious an colorful enough to stand beside Leonardo. The other possibilities were successful yet typical and sedate.

Does the Natal you get for him have ASC 22*44' Sco?
