Birth details come from a published reference (source: Internet) and have not been checked against a birth record, so the Moon sign is usually right but the Ascendant could differ.
Computed with Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa).
Our library holds 385 politicians with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 47 of them (12%) have the Moon in Capricorn, like Angela Davis, and 17 (4%) share the Dhanishta Nakshatra — the #6 most common Moon Nakshatra among politicians, where Uttara Bhadrapada leads with 25 (6%).
For scale, an even spread would put about 3.7% in each of the 27 Nakshatras and 8.3% in each Moon sign. These are simple counts from our dataset, not a prediction.
