Who José Saramago was
The son of landless peasants, he was a locksmith, a civil servant and a journalist, and did not publish the novel that would define him until he was sixty.
"Baltasar and Blimunda", "The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis" and "Blindness" are written in his characteristic punctuation — almost no paragraph breaks and no dialogue dashes — which forces you to read at the speed of whoever is speaking. Nobel in 1998, the only one in Portuguese.
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.
