Tamuz is, in tradition, a month of trial — and its sign is Cancer, the shell and what it shelters.

The chart in a paragraph

Cancer, rising Libra

A Tamuz sky, under the Moon. Cancer is the shell and what it shelters: a sensitivity that does not show itself. Libra was rising — measure, the right distance, an adjusted calm. Tradition would read here someone who keeps his inside to himself and offers the world nothing but a perfectly smooth surface.

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 Tamuz, 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 Harrison Ford'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.
