The German Wikipedia has birth data for the Golem of Prague – while the Astrodatabank continues to stubbornly refuse to create an entry in an act of discrimation of alternative life forms.
Here is what the German Wikipedia says:
Um vier Uhr morgens (es soll sich um den 20. Adar 5340 gehandelt haben, was dem 17. März 1580 entspräche) begaben sich die drei Männer zu einer Lehmgrube an der Moldau außerhalb der Stadt. Aus feuchtem Lehm fertigten sie eine drei Ellen hohe Figur an, der sie menschliche Züge verliehen. Als dies geschehen war, befahl Rabbi Löw seinem Schwiegersohn, siebenmal um den Golem herumzugehen und hierbei eine Formel (tzirufim) aufzusagen, die der Rabbi ihm vorgab. Hierauf begann die Tonfigur zu glühen, als sei sie dem Feuer ausgesetzt. Danach umschritt der Schüler den Golem siebenmal: Der Körper wurde feucht und strömte Dämpfe aus, und dem Golem entsprossen Haare und Fingernägel. Als letzter schritt der Rabbi siebenmal um den Golem herum, und schließlich stellten sich die drei Beteiligten zu Füßen des Golems auf und sprachen gemeinsam den Satz aus der Schöpfungsgeschichte (Gen 2,7 EU): „Und Gott blies ihm den Lebensatem in die Nase, und der Mensch wurde zu einem lebendigen Wesen.“

At four o'clock in the morning (it is said to have been 20 Adar 5340, which would correspond to 17 March 1580) the three men went to a clay pit on the Vltava River outside the city. From damp clay they made a figure three cubits high, to which they gave human features. When this was done, Rabbi Löw ordered his son-in-law to walk around the golem seven times, reciting a formula (tzirufim) that the rabbi had given him. Thereupon the clay figure began to glow, as if it had been exposed to fire. Then the student walked around the golem seven times: the body became moist and emitted vapors, and the golem sprouted hair and fingernails. Last, the rabbi walked around the golem seven times, and finally the three participants stood at the golem's feet and together spoke the phrase from the creation story (Gen. 2:7 EU): "And God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being."

Why would that be postmodern, you might ask? Creating life, would that not be something for the Age of Aquarius, like Pandora made of clay and more in the mythology around there? And today creating robots and so on (while the word "robot" comes from Czech anyways, a play by Karel Czapek, the idea for the word apparently by his brother Josef), artificial intelligence?
Then again, what about the divine couple in Egyptian mythology, I guess the woman with a frog head, who would create new life there from clay (I guess humans, maybe also animals), her name was Heqet, which already reminds of the magician goddess Hecate, oh well...
But here is the birth chart (did I already mention that Astrodatabank still refuses to create an entry, and if pressured they would maybe have the phony excuse that the Golem would be just a mythical figure and never existed, without presenting any proof from their side to back up such a preposterous claim?):
(The calendar is certainly Julian, as the year is 1580, and the Gregorian Calendar was only introduced two years later in 1582.)
I presume the Mars-Uranus-Saturn conjunction was considered helpful to create new life, quite a spark, I guess, but with Saturn in the lead still confined, probably helpful to create a body that can sustain itself upright...
But in the first house maybe still more the spark, while Moon Venus in the 2nd house might be more related?
But who am I to analyze, I only noticed Vesta-Sun conjunct, wasn't the Palladium that the Vesta priestesses guarded vertical like... And Chiron, too, that would be postmodern, to consider such a mix, considering also that in Mythology Chiron sacrificed his immortality for Prometheus, hence Chiron involved in creating the Golem would make a whole lot of sense...
Any further observations, with any techniques, from any epoch and timeframe, potentially mixed?
PS: And should there be an ai.org conference in Prague, what time would be best to try to create a Golem in that timeframe?
