A planet's house is read at the recorded birth time.
Saturn stayed in Mesh all day, so this holds at any birth hour. Neech Bhang is the classical rule by which such a weakness is cancelled. It needs a key planet in a kendra, one of the four main houses, counted from the lagna or the Moon. Her lagna, the rising sign, is unknown, so only the Moon can be used here. Before 2:04 am the Moon was in Tula (Libra), and the Sun sat in Kark (Cancer). Kark is a kendra from Tula, and the Sun is at its strongest in Mesh. After 2:04 am the Moon was in Vrishchik (Scorpio), where Mars, lord of Mesh, also sat. So Saturn's weakness is cancelled at every hour of that day.
Mars stayed in Vrishchik from midnight to midnight in New York. Mars is also the lord of Mesh (Aries), the sign that holds Saturn. After 2:04 am Mars shares Vrishchik with the Moon, a kendra (main house) from the Moon. That is one of two reasons Saturn's weakness is cancelled then. Mars is read as drive and stamina. It fits a career that first won wide notice when she danced as a Fly Girl on In Living Color from 1991.
Venus held Vrishabh all day, so the birth hour does not change this. Venus is also the lord of Tula, the sign where Saturn is strongest. From a Moon in Vrishchik (Scorpio), Venus sits in a kendra, one of the four main houses. That is the second reason Saturn's weakness is cancelled after 2:04 am. Venus stands for art, performance and beauty. It fits a career across film, song and dance, from Selena in 1997 to her first album, On the 6, in 1999.
The Rodden rating is the standard grade for a birth-time source. AA means a birth certificate or record, A the person's or family's memory, B a biography, C a source that could not be traced, and DD conflicting times.
