Birth details come from a published reference (source: Astrology of Professions (Pathak)) 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). Exact birth time is not publicly recorded, so noon local time was used. The Moon changes Nakshatra about once a day, so the Nakshatra and Ascendant shown may differ if the true birth time is different.
Our library holds 194 sportspeople with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 15 of them (8%) have the Moon in Sagittarius, like Leander Paes, and 11 (6%) share the Purva Ashadha Nakshatra — the #2 most common Moon Nakshatra among sportspeople, where Pushya leads with 13 (7%).
