UPDATE: Shiloh's Rising Sign

After a lovely and rare day offline, I was delighted to return this morning to an outpouring of birth data love in my inbox. A world of thanks go out to the several readers who wrote in or posted comments on the birth time of the newest and most exciting celebrity in the world, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. Thanks to the wisdom of the crowd, I can relay that local papers pegged Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter's time of birth as 1:40 AM local time on Sunday, though the time was reported initially as "Saturday night" here.

While her Moon sign remains the same (Gemini), this new birth time sheds vital light on Shiloh's chart, and provides the crucial detail of a rising sign. Oddly enough, after all the talk of Brangelina's baby as the most hotly anticipated infant since the Christ child, Shiloh's chart actually lives up to the expectations of someone destined to touch the world in karmic ways.

Shiloh has the very last minute of the very last degree of the zodiac, 29°59" Pisces, on her Ascendant (i.e., the point on the horizon at the exact moment she was born). This placement represents the final point in the soul's evolution through the karmic cycle before it begins anew at the zodiac's zero point, 0° Aries. Shiloh appears to be someone who on some level has transcended the bounds of her ego to become one with all of humanity. (Fitting, perhaps, for someone the entire world was obsessed with before she even made her appearance.)

With this ultracompassionate Pisces degree on her Ascendant, Shiloh is born to help the world. Very much like her mother, she may care for the suffering and feel for them as deeply as if they were her own loved ones. The Sabian symbol for Shiloh's Ascendant degree, the zodiac's omega point, is "A majestic rock formation resembling a face idealized by a boy who takes it as his ideal of greatness, and as he grows up, begins to look like it." The keynote of this allegorical image is "The power of clearly visualized ideals to mold the life of the visualizer." It's not hard to see how growing up with the image and inspiration of Angelina's life and work will shape Shiloh's identity and sense of her purpose in life. The North Node, a point in the chart representing one's karmic path or aspiration, is in Aries conjunct the Ascendant, reinforcing the import of this sense of a mission to make a difference as an individual.

The 1:40 AM birth time also places the Gemini Moon in a close conjunction to its ruler, Mercury, showing that Shiloh's thoughts and feelings will be closely linked. The close proximity of the Moon (emotions and one's image of the mother) and Mercury (mindset) to Angelina's Sun (core personality) shows that Shiloh will identify strongly with her mother. Again, her sense of a calling to help humanity will likely be instilled by Santa Angelina.

Pluto (transformation) is in Sagittarius (religion, philosophy, politics, internationalism) on the Midheaven (career goals). Once again, Shiloh seems likely to carry on her mother's work doing good for the world community. Shiloh's Pluto-Midheaven is also on Brad's Sun, which squares her Ascendant, so he does exert some influence on her; she'll be inspired to follow in his footsteps as well.

Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius in the 11th house, and Chiron opposing Saturn in Leo in the 5th, add to the sense that Shiloh will have empathy (Neptune/Pisces) for her downtrodden brothers and sisters around the world (11th house/Aquarius), and work hard (Saturn) to heal them (Chiron).

Angelina has talked of wanting to have a brood of children who "find her" throughout the world, to the point that she was reluctant to give birth to a biological child and miss out on such a connection. But she needn't worry, as her first biological child definitely seems to be an old soul who chose to be born into a family where she could do good for humanity. It will be exciting to watch Shiloh grow up, not only because she may well prove to resemble Angelina uncannily in a physical sense, but to see how she manifests her destiny and makes a difference in the world.
