Note on birth data: Charts are based on publicly reported birth data and may contain errors. For living persons, details are sourced from public records and may be approximate or disputed. Birth time and details for all public figures may vary depending on source. LMT (Local Mean Time) is a pre-timezone standard — it may differ from modern clock time by a few minutes.

Astrological Analysis
Interpretive insights derived from precomputed chart data
This page is computed by our backend from a dataset of birth records for public figures. For most entries, the backend produces a full chart including planetary positions, house placements, and dasha sequences. For this entry, no verified birth time exists, so the computation is limited to sign-level placements derived from the date of birth.
The dataset rates the reliability of this birth data at 1 out of 5. The date and place of birth are confirmed. The time is entirely unknown, and the source notes for this entry explicitly state that speculative times circulating online should not be used.
Because there is no birth time, the Lagna is unknown and house placements cannot be computed. No dasha events are shown. The Moon's nakshatra is approximate because the Moon changes nakshatra roughly every 24 hours and without a time, its exact position within Aries cannot be confirmed. This page focuses on what the planetary positions in signs can say, and on the historical record.
On 14 April 1891, the Sun and Moon were both in Aries by the Lahiri ayanamsa calculation. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, ruled by Mars. It is associated with drive, individual assertion, and the refusal to be defined by others' expectations.
The Moon's approximate nakshatra is Bharani. Bharani is the 2nd nakshatra, ruled by Venus and presided over by Yama, the deity associated with dharma, justice, and the transformation that comes through death and rebirth. Bharani is often described in terms of carrying what others cannot or will not carry. The association between the nakshatra's qualities and his life work in drafting the Constitution and fighting caste discrimination is not something that requires interpretation to notice.
Mercury, Venus, and Saturn would also have been in specific sign positions on this date, but without a time and therefore without a Lagna, interpreting them in terms of houses is not possible. What can be said is that a person born with the Sun and Moon both in Aries, with the Moon in Bharani, starts with a chart oriented around individual will and the weight of transformation.
Several birth times for Ambedkar circulate in astrological literature and online. The dataset source note for this entry explicitly advises against using any of them. No birth certificate, hospital record, diary entry, or primary biographical source has been identified that confirms a specific time of birth.
Using a speculative time would produce a chart with a Lagna, houses, and dasha sequences that look precise but are built on nothing verifiable. For a figure of this historical importance, that kind of false precision is worse than acknowledging the gap.
This page shows the date of birth, the place, and the sign-level planetary positions. If a verified birth time is found and added to the source dataset, the chart will be recomputed automatically. Until then, the honest answer is that we do not know the Lagna, and house-based analysis is not shown.
Summary
Key insights at a glance
- No birth time has been verified for this chart. The Lagna is unknown, and any house-based analysis would be speculation. This page shows only what can be said from the date of birth and the resulting planetary positions in signs.
- The date of birth, 14 April 1891, is confirmed from multiple official sources including government records and the Constitution of India's own historical documentation. The place of birth is Mhow (now Dr. Ambedkar Nagar) in Madhya Pradesh.
- With a birth date of 14 April 1891, the Moon falls in Aries. The nakshatra is approximately Bharani, though without a confirmed time the exact nakshatra cannot be fixed with certainty since the Moon moves through a nakshatra in roughly 24 hours.
- Sun would be in Aries as well on 14 April 1891, since the Sun transits Aries through most of April by the Lahiri ayanamsa calculation. Both Sun and Moon in Aries at birth describes someone whose early drive was intense, self-directed, and unwilling to accept the limits others set.
- He passed the bar, earned a doctorate from Columbia University, another from the London School of Economics, and then a second doctorate. He did this while facing systematic caste discrimination at every stage. The biographical record is what it is; no astrology is needed to recognize the scale of what he built.
- The Bharani nakshatra, if the Moon indeed falls there, is associated with Yama (the god of death and transformation) and carries themes of carrying heavy burdens, transformation, and the work of bringing things into being. His life fits this nakshatra description more precisely than most.
