A planet's house is read at the recorded birth time.
The Sun was in Simha for the whole day, so its sign is certain for any birth hour. Simha is the one sign the Sun rules. Her visual album Beyoncé, a film for every song, came out on 13 December 2013.
Mercury held Kanya through the day, so this strength does not rest on the birth time. Jupiter, Venus and Saturn sit in Kanya too. That puts four planets in a single house.
The Moon stayed in Vishakha until about 10:10 pm, twenty-three minutes after her birth. Jupiter rules this nakshatra. Her Jupiter sits in Kanya (Virgo) with three other planets.
Mesh rose over Houston from 9:31 to 11:05 pm that night. Mars sits in Kark (Cancer), its weakest sign, beside Rahu. Her father managed Destiny's Child, the group she sang in from girlhood.
Beyoncé's chart rises in Mesh (Aries), which rose over Houston from 9:31 to 11:05 pm. Her recorded 9:47 pm birth falls inside that window. Its ruler Mars sits in Kark (Cancer), in the fourth house of home and family.
The Sun is in its own sign Simha (Leo), in the fifth house of creativity and performance. Four planets gather in Kanya (Virgo), in the sixth house of competition: Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Mercury there is in its strongest sign.
Her Moon is in Vrishchik (Scorpio), in the nakshatra Vishakha. Vrishchik is the Moon's weakest sign, a placement read as intense, private feeling. These notes place the chart next to her recorded career. They make no claim that the chart produced it.

A mahadasha is a long planetary period that lasts several years. An antardasha is a shorter sub-period inside it.

Every main period holds with a birth time 15 minutes either way. The Coachella sub-period is blank, because it changes inside that margin.
The visual album and Lemonade came in Mercury's long period. Mercury is the planet of skill, placed in her sixth house of competition.
Ketu's period held Coachella, Renaissance and Cowboy Carter. The Album of the Year night came in the opening sub-period of Venus's long period.
