US PRESIDENTS BIRTH DATA
Haizen Paige/www.haizen.com
This information was updated for my own use in mundane astrology. As far as I know, no one studied the charts of the US Presidents as much as Doris Chase Doane did over the years, starting in 1956, but she's sometimes not credited with compiling the original source of most of this information floating around the internet and elsewhere. She was a great astrologer who enjoyed an active practice for decades in the San Francisco area. The data here is based on her 1971 edition of the presidential charts, with addition resources added from elsewhere.
Where so many of these Presidents have unknown birth times, she has at least provided an excellent starting point for further research and rectification. Her work on Herbert Hoover is a fine example of her rectification skills as a Western/Tropical astrologer, as no official source exists (that I know of), because her chart for him just seems to works. I also feel the same way about her chart for Lyndon B. Johnson, and there are many other examples on this list of her fine efforts.
What I have done is to restore her as the original source of many of these birth times (rather than Marc Penfield and others who got their information mostly from her work without mentioning their sources), and to clearly label which ones have unknown birth times. Lois Rodden's AstroDatabank has also been of great help to update some of these sources.
As far as I know, this is the most up-to-date compilation of this data, as of December 2003, and I hope it will be considered an open source file for others to make their additions and corrections. "Source unknown" means the birth time was rectified by Ms. Doane.

does indirectly reveal it: certain information

chart calculated with an Ascendant of about
26 degrees Sagittarius. (Thanks to Nilsa Gorey
for this important information.)

he remembered sitting on the lap of his Aunt
Niney--his grandfather's older sister--and she
said the birth occurred just as the sun was
