The chart in a paragraph
Pisces, rising Virgo
Adar, the month in which “joy is increased”, under Jupiter. Pisces is intuition, the water that goes around the obstacle instead of forcing it. And Virgo was rising: the demand for detail, a perfectionism that lets nothing go. Two opposite signs on the wheel, the dreamer and the obsessive in one sky.
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 Adar, 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 Steve Jobs'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.
