Alexander Fleming's Birth Chart
Sun in Leo · Moon in Sagittarius ≈
Sir Alexander Fleming was a Scottish physician and microbiologist. He shared the 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Howard Florey and Ernst Chain "for the discovery of penicillin and its curative effect in various infectious diseases". This was the first antibiotic substance discovered. His discovery in 1928 of what was later named benzylpenicillin from the mould Penicillium rubens has been described as the "single greatest victory ever achieved over disease". Wikipedia
Sun in Leo
14°06′Your essence asks to shine from the heart, with authenticity: to create, express and give warmth to those you love. You are contagiously vital. You need to inhabit your own centre with pride and give your creativity an outlet.
Moon in Sagittarius
26°32′Your spirits need air and future: movement, laughter and a good reason to believe restore you. You find emotional refuge in freedom, optimism and a wide perspective. You heal your emotions when you manage to see the whole picture and draw a life lesson from each experience.

Birth time not documented
The Ascendant changes sign every two hours, and no verified birth time is recorded for Alexander Fleming, so this chart doesn't set it. Their planets by sign, however, remain reliable.
Section II · The map
Their natal wheel
The sky on the day they were born. The outer ring is the twelve signs; the lines across the centre, the aspects between planets. Without a birth time, houses and the Ascendant aren't drawn.
Section III · The detail
Planets and aspects
The exact numbers behind the drawing. Each table expands one layer of the wheel.
Alexander Fleming's placements
We compute the placements for the day of birth. Without the exact time the Ascendant and houses can't be fixed, but each planet's sign is reliable.

Beyond the planets
Three keys beyond the ten classical planets, which astrology reads as axes of the chart. All four angles need your birth time.
The wounded healer: a small icy body between Saturn and Uranus. It marks the wound that, once moved through, teaches.
Not a body but a point of the Moon's orbit. It marks the direction of your growth.
The Black Moon: a mathematical point tied to the untamed and what refuses to submit.
Alexander Fleming's aspects
Each aspect is an angle between two planets; it defines how they speak to each other. Aspects to the Moon are approximate: they depend on the exact birth time.
Elements and modalities
How their energy is split across the four elements and the three modalities.
Section IV · The signature
The signature of their sky
The whole at a glance: how the planets are spread, and the accents that set the overall tone of the chart.
Bucket
A group of planets with a single one opposite: that 'handle' planet becomes the channel of the whole chart.
Their energy concentrates in the element of Earth and the Fixed modality.
Neptune is the most connected planet in their chart: 7 aspects tie it to the rest.
Three or more planets together in Taurus: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
