About the clock
The zone history for Africa/Dar_es_Salaam (now an alias of Africa/Nairobi) gives East Africa Time, UTC+3, from August 1942 with no daylight saving, and the older separate Tanganyika and Zanzibar history also had UTC+3 from 1931 to 1948, so both agree for September 1946.

Questions people ask

What is Freddie Mercury's rashi?▾
Dhanu (Sagittarius), for any birth hour that day. Rashi here means his Moon sign. The Moon stayed in Dhanu from midnight to midnight in Stone Town, Zanzibar. So the missing birth time does not change his rashi.
What is Freddie Mercury's nakshatra?▾
Mula for most of the day, and Purva Ashadha for a birth after 10:20 pm. A nakshatra is one of the 27 star segments the Moon passes through. The Moon crossed from Mula into Purva Ashadha at 10:20 pm, East Africa Time. A recorded hour would settle which of the two applies.
What is Freddie Mercury's lagna?▾
That stays unknown, because no hour of his birth has been found in any record. The lagna is the sign rising over the eastern skyline as a child is born. Over Stone Town on 5 September 1946, the full circle of twelve signs rose. So close to the equator, each held for a fairly even span. The spans ran from about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 11 minutes.
Is Freddie Mercury's birth time known?▾
No; this Kundali is drawn for his birth date with no hour, which is what grade X marks. No record found so far states the time. His 1969 British naturalisation record, held at The National Archives, gives 5 September 1946. It is filed under the name Frederick Bulsara; he was born Farrokh Bulsara. The official Freddie Mercury website gives the same date and Zanzibar as the place. Neither gives an hour. Charts showing noon use a placeholder, not a record.
Does Freddie Mercury's Kundali have Budh Aditya Yoga?▾
Yes, at every hour of 5 September 1946. This yoga is named for Budh (Mercury) and Aditya (the Sun). They stood together in Simha (Leo) throughout that day. The pairing turns up in about every second chart. Less common is that Simha is the Sun's own sign. Venus also stayed all day in Tula (Libra), one of its own signs.
