Like many others, I tried to speculate on Palin's chart. However it seems to me that much critical thought and analysis flew out the window when someone found a newspaper story with a birthtime rounded to the nearest hour. That just inspired me to refine my speculation.
Sarah Palin burst onto the national scene when John McCain named her as his running mate on August 29, 2008. Her birthtime was unknown. What was known was that she was born February 11, 1964 in Sandpoint, Idaho. Since August 29th was important as both McCain's birthday and Palin's wedding anniversary, it would figure that the Sun's degree on August 29th should figure prominently in Palin's chart. Every year, the Sun is at 6 degrees Virgo on August 29. I then constructed 4 charts that would put 6:30 Virgo (the middle of that degree) on each of the 4 angles. Before the 6:00 pm birthtime surfaced, I preferred the chart with 6 Virgo on the MC because it gave her a Scorpio ascendant with Neptune conjunct the ascendant--the best fit for her physical appearance. But physical appearance is overrated for ascertaining ascendants.
Then a newspaper report appeared giving an obviously approximate birthtime of 6:00 p.m. PST. Putting 6 Virgo on the ascendant seemed to be the notion most consistent with newspaper article because it gave a birthtime of either 6:12 or 6:13 p.m. Amazingly, that was not the slam dunk it could have been. Both of those potential times have different signs on the Midheaven, Taurus and Gemini respectively. To split hairs like that, the best methodology to use would be Noel Tyl's Midheaven Extension Process. In that technique, the sign on the Midheaven is traced through the chart using dispositor dynamics. The Taurus MC adds both Saturn and Pluto to the trace, which is found to occur commonly for politicians. The Gemini MC does not. So, based on my analysis, I will be using 6:12 pm for Sarah Palin for now, until I am proven incorrect.
