(birth time source: herself, email on August 25, 2014: her parents are sure that she was born between 8:00 and 9:00 AM, and she feels herself more Leo rising than Virgo rising, that is to say a time of birth before 8:30 AM) http://www.astrotheme.com/astrology/Malala_Yousafzai[/quote] It also states she does not relate to Virgo rising, more Leo. That would reduce the possible times to pre-8:30 AM. I agree that she is not a likely candidate at all for almost any type of Virgo rising chart based upon what I know about her so far. ("Bookish" self-description from her own biography is not enough justification). However, if no other charts besides this Cancer rising chart prove viable I will be forced to test early Virgo charts as well since Ascendants there make contra-parallels and squares to Pluto.
I may have to correct the chart I have posted here, but will only do so after I have had the time to make a positive determination. It may be a while. I see I was a bit too excited and too willing to believe astrodatabank's statement that she was born at daybreak. I cannot find anywhere in her published biography I Am Malala that she says she was born at "daybreak."
The late Leo chart posted there by astrotheme is not a lock either. A late Leo Asc is possible for her, but not the most likely one in Leo in my estimation. I will methodically go through every degree of that sign, as well as back into Cancer.
This is one of those lessons for me that I sometimes offer other astrologers -- to not get so excited about having a chart for a particular admirable personality that we don't vet it properly before spreading it around like a rumor.
Stay tuned.
