The chart in a paragraph
Sagittarius, rising Sagittarius
Kislev, the month of Hanukkah, under Jupiter. Sagittarius is the arrow aimed past the sky: drive, excess, a generosity that keeps no accounts. And Sagittarius was rising too — the same sign twice. A sky with no brake and no false bottom: what you see is exactly what is there.
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 Kislev, 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 Jimi Hendrix'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.
