Charles Lindbergh’s AA rated: 2/4/1902 1:30 AM Detroit, Michigan

American pilot and author, the most famous hero of his day for his flight from New York to Paris on 5/20/1927 which earned him the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was an international hero and celebrity, the first "media star."

With our first glance at Charles Natal we can’t see a-lot of acute planetary symbolism. Sidereal Astrology teaches us to look to the angles first for main themes of a chart; angles are our true “cornerstones” with Sidereal Astrology. Charles Mars is partile 90 his Asc and Sidereal Astrology teaches us “Partile Aspects Reign Supreme,” (Jim’s words). Indeed Charles was a man of action, passion, and bravery. When it came to the aviation industry he was a true Champion, a Hero, and it usually takes a prominent Mars to produce these type people. We see a fitting Sag Moon cnj Uranus, more so when we look at his mundoscope noting a much tighter Moon-Uranus cnj. Uranus opposse Pluto for his great invented revoluntionary flight to Paris. But where Sidereal Astrology really shines is Charles SSR & SLR, (the mainstays of Sidereal Astrology, hence, the name of this Forum “Solunars”) for the tragic event of the kidnapping and death of his baby son. I will post about this most tragic event in the SSR & SLR topics.

I have the 1:30 AM birth time as B, not AA - it came from a biography.

The most important thing in Lindbergh's chart is probably his Sagittarian Moon. The string of aviation pioneers who have had Sagittarius Moons is remarkable - Lindbergh, Yuri Gagarin, John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, for example. The first man to solo the Atlantic in a plane, the first in space, the first to orbit Earth, and the first to set foot on the Moon all had this aviation-themed placement.

Still remaining agnostic-and-interested about mundane aspects in natal charts, I note that the Sagittarius Moon has a 1°42' mundoscope conjunction with Uranus! In any case, it is also ecliptically opposite Neptune < 4° (and Sun is sesquisquare Neptune, partile).

Mercury is foreground and well-aspected, appropriately enough. Also, Mars exactly squares Ascendant (for his dangerous occupation and undertaking).

The AA rating could be a mistake by astro.com, but I have to favour the AA rating with Neptune on 1932 SSR Asc and on May 12th 1932-- SQ Neptune is on SQ MC for the day the body was found—difficult for me to believe this is a coincidence.

LOL, well it could be a D rating and still accurate I like B rated times.

The Rodden rating was changed to AA because of notes his mother made found in his papers kept at Princeton. The original B rating was because Elbert Benjamine said he had the time from a B.R. which is assumed to mean Birth Record, but Michigan didn't put times on birth certs till four years after Lindbergh was born. He may have referred to these same notes as a birth record.
