I would like to suggest an astrological discussion if someone here is interested.
I've been listening to music lately and I always admire good musicians for the great talents they have and to be able to compose so many good songs for such a long time, even lifetime.
I've often wondered if they might have something in common in their astro charts, so now as I am reading about sidereal - it would supposedly be some similarities in angular planets and important aspects.
So I start with U2. They've been around for a long time.
And the lead singer is Bono Vox... but we must look at the great musicians in the whole band as they work together as a group - so it is their dynamics together that make the great music (imo)
I do not know if you have another birth time for the members, it does sound like a roundoff for Bono at 2AM but this is what I found for him.

His most angular planets in the mundo chart are Saturn 2,43° above the Asc and Uranus 9,25° above the Dsc.
I'd like to note down here the partile aspects of the mundo chart as I think they are interesting.

An interesting theme in his chart is the Neptune/Venus+Mercury opposition. Creativity in abundance I would think.
His ecliptic chart shows the Sun foreground - but not in his mundoscope. I would expect such a famous person to have Sun foreground.
Anyway, here are his aspects in ecliptic chart, I take opp, sq, conj. sext and trine.
I don't know what you do about aspects to the points like Vx, do you look at them or not?

Just this quick look explains long time fame - Uranus on the Dsc.
And the Neptune-Venus-Mercury explains the great creative mind and probably love of music.
But I allow myself to look at his chart with a little bit earlier birth time to see his MC move into Libra, making the Neptune-Venus-Mercury a foreground aspect and planets which also makes his natal Sun angular on the IC AND it moves his Asc in between Jupiter and Saturn, with Jupiter coming into the picture as a foreground planet now... to me it seems like it is very likely that his birth time might be somewhere between 1-2AM, but not necessarily to the minute of 2AM.
Where does Bono live? Edge? Adam? Larry?
Each member of the band still lives in the Dublin area, where they grew up and first formed the band. It's not our place to give out specific addresses or directions to their homes, so you'll have to look elsewhere for that. Coincidentally, the homes of several members of the band have been discussed in some detail in the newspapers in recent years for various expansions and additions being sought and undertaken at their homes. The band members also have various residences in other parts of the world, too. Edge was in the press in late 2000 when he and Morleigh purchased a home in Malibu, California. The Edge and Bono also have homes in Eze in the south of France.
