Leonardo was born on Saturday, April 15, 1452 (Julian calendar), in Vinci, Tuscany, “at the third hour of the night,” as Leonardo’s grandfather recorded (Museo Galileo). Hours were then counted from sunset; sunset in Vinci that day was about 6:54 PM local mean time, so this chart uses about 9:54 PM. Tropical zodiac, Placidus houses.
