Calvin Coolidge's Human Design: An Accuracy Flag That Doesn't Show Up in the Chart
Calvin Coolidge's own Astro-Databank listing flags his time as accuracy in question, yet Maia Mechanics reads the resulting chart as High reliability.
Calvin Coolidge’s own Astro-Databank record carries an explicit caution: “accuracy in question,” the same flag as John Quincy Adams’s chart earlier in this series. The chart itself doesn’t reflect that uncertainty.

What Maia Mechanics shows
Computed directly in Maia Mechanics at the stated time:
- Type: Generator
- Authority: Sacral
- Definition: Single Definition
- Profile: 4/6
- Incarnation Cross: Right Angle Cross of Tension 2, gates 39 and 38 personality, 21 and 48 design
Coolidge in Maia Mechanics at the stated 9:00am. Right Angle Cross of Tension 2, gates 39 and 38 personality, 21 and 48 design.
That’s the same cross family as Rutherford Hayes’s and Chester Arthur’s charts earlier in this series, Tension 3 in their case, Tension 2 here.
Birth Time Reliability: High. The flagged accuracy concern doesn’t translate into a fragile chart here: whatever the actual source of the 9:00 AM figure is, it sits well clear of any boundary Maia Mechanics can detect. A Sacral-authority Generator, built to respond and confirm through the body rather than think a decision through, is the read this chart carries with real confidence.
What his cycles show
Coolidge’s natal cross, the Right Angle Cross of Tension, carried on a 4/6 profile, runs on provoking friction to find out what holds, backed by a controlling grip on resources and a deep reserve of practical knowledge. He lived to 60, long enough for all four returns.
- Saturn Return, 1902, age 29. Under the Right Angle Cross of Penetration (54/53 | 57/51), the structure he’d built as Northampton’s city solicitor since 1900 got tested and broke: the city council voted him out that year, and he returned to private law practice before his appointment as clerk of courts two years later.
- Uranus Opposition, 1912, age 39. Under the Right Angle Cross of The Sphinx (13/7 | 1/2), he took his seat in the Massachusetts State Senate that January, having won the seat the previous November.
- Chiron Return, 1922, age 49. Under the Right Angle Cross of The Four Ways (24/44 | 19/33), he was a year into a vice presidency under Harding that carried little formal power, the quiet stretch before Harding’s death in 1923 handed him everything.
- Second Saturn Return, 1931, age 58. Under the Right Angle Cross of Explanation (49/4 | 43/23), he was two years retired and writing “Calvin Coolidge Says,” a syndicated newspaper column running that same season, October 1930 through mid-1931.
