Who Jorge Luis Borges was
He learned English before Spanish in his father's library and always said that library was the chief event of his life. He directed the Argentine National Library when he was already nearly blind, a coincidence he called "God's magnificent irony".
"Fictions" and "The Aleph" invented a form of short story — the labyrinth, the infinite library, the book containing all books — that reorganised twentieth-century literature. He never received the Nobel.
No documented birth time exists for this person. Without a time there are no houses, no Ascendant, no Midheaven, and the wheel is not oriented: what you see are the positions by sign, which are correct, and nothing else. An incomplete chart beats an invented Ascendant.
