Satyajit Ray
Kundli, Birth Chart & Vedic Horoscope
Bengali film director of The Apu Trilogy and Charulata, and writer, illustrator and composer.
Satyajit Ray's exact birth time isn't reliably on public record, so the ascendant (Lagna) and houses can't be shown. What the date alone decides is computed below for every minute of 2 May 1921 at Kolkata, India, in local time.
The Moon on 2 May 1921
- 00:00–02:08Moon in Aquarius (Kumbh), Dhanishtha — Mahadasha sequence starts from Mars
- 02:08–24:00Moon in Aquarius (Kumbh), Shatabhisha — Mahadasha sequence starts from Rahu
The Moon sign holds all day: Aquarius (Kumbh). The nakshatra depends on the hour: Dhanishtha or Shatabhisha — and the nakshatra decides which planet's Mahadasha comes first, so no dasha dates are given.
Every other planet kept its sign and nakshatra all day.

What Satyajit Ray's Moon in Aquarius suggests
Kumbh (Aquarius) is a fixed air sign ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline and structure. Symbolised by the water-bearer, Aquarius natives are the zodiac's visionaries and humanitarians — original, independent and forward-thinking. They march to their own beat, driven by ideas, ideals and a genuine wish to improve the world.
In Vedic astrology the Moon sign (Rashi) shapes the mind and emotional nature — often more telling than the Western Sun sign.

How is this kundli calculated?›
This chart is computed with the Swiss Ephemeris using the Lahiri ayanamsa — the same sidereal system used across Vedic astrology — from Satyajit Ray's recorded birth date and place, for every minute of that day, because the birth time isn't on record. You can generate your own free kundli the same way.
