Srinivasa Ramanujan
Mathematician who arrived at thousands of results in number theory and infinite series with almost no formal training, working largely alone in Kumbakonam before Hardy brought him to Cambridge in 1914. He attributed his formulae to the goddess Namagiri. Notebooks he left at his death were still yielding new mathematics seventy years later.

How well the time is known
XNo birth time is recorded
Charts for Ramanujan circulate widely but the times in them are described as tentative even by the astrologers publishing them. No attested time is recorded here.
The chart
Lahiri ayanāṁśa · whole-sign houses · mean nodes
No ascendant is shown, and that is not a limitation of this page
The ascendant travels the entire zodiac in a day, so a date without an hour does not determine it — nor any house, since houses are counted from it. Software that shows you one here has assumed a time, usually noon, and has not told you. Jade would rather show you less and have all of it be true.
Settled by the date alone
| Sun | Sagittarius | Mula |
|---|---|---|
| Moon | Pisces | Purva Bhadrapada or Uttara Bhadrapada |
| Mars | Virgo | Hasta |
| Mercury | Scorpio | Jyeshtha |
| Jupiter | Scorpio | Vishakha or Anuradha |
| Venus | Libra | Vishakha |
| Saturn | Cancer | Pushya |
| Rahu | Cancer | Ashlesha |
| Ketu | Capricorn | Shravana |
A missing time is a question, not a dead end
This is exactly what rectification is for. Add ramanujan to your own workspace with the dated events of their life and Jade will sweep the day, rank the candidate times by the classical rules each one satisfies, and tell you which rules actually did the ranking and which fired for every candidate and therefore separated nothing.

Ada Lovelace
Mathematician who, in notes appended to a translation about Babbage’s Analytical Engine, described how such a machine might act on symbols rather than numbers — and wrote what is generally counted the first algorithm intended for a machine.

Isaac Newton
Set out the laws of motion and universal gravitation in the Principia of 1687, invented calculus in parallel with Leibniz, and spent rather more of his life on alchemy and biblical chronology than on either.
