Sagittarius Sun
Sagittarius SunSays the quiet part loud.
Freedom · candor · far horizons
Sagittarius energy is read as expansive and honest — you may crave movement, meaning and the unvarnished truth. You bring perspective to your circle; the growth edge is tact, and staying for the boring middle parts.
Fire Snake
Fire SnakeWatches quietly. Strikes precisely.
Wise · composed · deeply perceptive
Snake years are linked to wisdom and privacy — you may watch quietly, then act precisely. The tradition's caution is keeping so much inside that even close people guess wrong about you.
Life Path 1
Life Path 1Goes first. Figures it out.
Initiative · independence · first steps
A 1 path suggests a life theme of initiative — situations may keep asking you to go first, decide, begin. It can feel lonely at the front; the pattern's promise is that your starts give others permission.
Arthur’s cards
Every one is calculated from the birth date, not chosen: the tarot card by reducing the digits of December 16, 1917, the identity card by combining the BaZi day-master element with the Life Path number, and the two zodiac cards from the sun’s position and the Chinese year branch.

you & partnership
No birth time is on public record for Arthur C. Clarke, so this chart has three pillars rather than four. The hour pillar, the rising sign and the birth-sky star all need a time, and we would rather leave them out than invent one.
Where this data comes from
Arthur’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q47087, released under CC0. No documented birth time is available. Time-dependent results use a clearly labelled reference time and should not be read as their exact birth chart.
