The Ascendant changes sign every two hours, and no verified birth time is recorded for Ben Hogan, so this chart doesn't set it. Their planets by sign, however, remain 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.
Ben Hogan's aspects
