Flight timelines and birth timelines are different records
The Smithsonian gives Earhart’s date and Atchison birthplace. Her record-setting flights have detailed departure and arrival times; those later timestamps cannot substitute for a clock time at birth.
Planetary sign range for the recorded date
The possible signs cover hourly positions across the recorded date and every civil-day UTC offset from +14 to −12. Without a verified birth hour or offset, a body that crosses a sign boundary remains unresolved.
| Body | Possible signs | Reading note |
|---|---|---|
| Sun | Leo | Same sign in all hourly samples |
| Moon | Taurus / Gemini | Birth hour or offset may change the sign |
| Mercury | Leo | Same sign in all hourly samples |
| Venus | Gemini | Same sign in all hourly samples |
| Mars | Virgo | Same sign in all hourly samples |
| Jupiter | Virgo | Same sign in all hourly samples |
| Saturn | Scorpio | Same sign in all hourly samples |
Geocentric tropical positions. A sign shown twice cannot be narrowed down without a documented birth time and historical UTC offset.
