The chart in a paragraph
Taurus, rising Sagittarius
The ground is earth. Iyar, under Venus, gives patience, stubbornness, the voice that never hurries and that no one interrupts. But Sagittarius was rising — the arrow, the departure, the refusal to stay. A sky that holds the note and takes the road at the same time.
This is what tradition reads in that sky — and it sets its own limit at once: “Israel is above the mazal” (Shabbat 156a). A sky describes a slope, never a fate.
What tradition says
The month of Iyar, not the person
What you read here describes a month of the Hebrew calendar: its mazal, its planet, its element, its tribe and its stone, as reported by the Talmud, the Book of Creation and the Book of the Angel Raziel. Nothing is asserted about Bob Dylan's character — we give a date, a time, and what tradition attaches to the month. Not a portrait.
The rising sign does not depend on the month but on the time and the place: it is the sign that was climbing the eastern horizon at the moment of birth. It changes roughly every two hours — without an exact time it cannot be calculated. That is why this page only presents births whose hour is on record.
