Alan Shearer’s birth chart
Born 13 August 1970, in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Leo Sun · Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn
Alan Shearer’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
13 August 1970 was a Thursday: the day Alan Shearer was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Their zodiac sign is Leo. The Moon left Sagittarius for Capricorn at about 13:25 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Alan turns 56 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Alan, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is three earth, three air, two fire and one water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, four and two. Venus, Jupiter and Uranus all fall in Libra. The tightest aspect is Venus conjunction Uranus, about 0.9° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Every planet was moving direct. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds eight other people born on 13 August, among them Fidel Castro, Sridevi and Sebastian Stan.

Alan Shearer’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 20° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Alan Shearer that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Sagittarius or Capricorn
Sagittarius until about 13:25, then Capricorn (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 13:25: Moon in Sagittarius
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Alan, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
Born after about 13:25: Moon in Capricorn
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Alan may hold themselves together for other people, and can be hard on themselves when they cannot. This Moon tends to be restored by accomplishment, by structure, and by the rare person allowed to see them tired.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Newcastle upon Tyne, England, at each hour of the day.
Alan Shearer’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Alan yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 13 August 1970, computed for Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Alan Shearer’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Alan Shearer’s private life.
Purpose for Alan Shearer is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.

Sagittarius until about 13:25, then Capricorn
needs and habits
Born before about 13:25: Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Alan edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Born after about 13:25: Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn, Alan's comfort probably comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave them oddly unsettled even on holiday. Harder feelings tend to be kept for when they are alone. Before rest is allowed there is usually one more thing to tidy, organise or finish.
For Alan, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Alan probably values harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The risk with this Venus is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. Alan may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Alan its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Libra
29° Libra 41' at midday
growth and excess
In Alan's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Alan is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Libra
6° Libra 15' at midday
freedom, generational
Alan holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Scorpio
28° Scorpio 07' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Alan shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
25° Virgo 52' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Alan and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Alan Shearer’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Venus conjunction Uranus
about 0.9° at midday
Affection runs independent and a little unpredictable with Venus conjunct Uranus, and Alan Shearer is likely to be drawn to people and situations that keep them interested more than settled. There is romantic excitement in that. The difficulty is letting closeness deepen without the urge to bolt from it.
Sun square Saturn
about 1.9° at midday
With the Sun square Saturn, confidence meets resistance, often in the form of self-doubt or an authority figure whose approval feels hard to win. When Alan pushes through it anyway, the achievement means more because it was tested.
Sun conjunction Mars
about 3.5° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mars, Alan's will and identity are fused, which makes for strong, immediate drive and a low tolerance for sitting still. They probably act on impulse more often than most, and aiming that energy at a goal of their own serves them better than using it up on the first thing in front of them.
Saturn trine Pluto
about 3.7° at midday
Discipline and the capacity for transformation work together under Saturn trine Pluto, so Alan can rebuild after a setback with a strength that outlasts the difficulty. Such endurance is quiet and formidable, and other people tend to notice it only in hindsight, once the hard period has passed.
Mercury trine Saturn
about 4.7° at midday
Alan's thinking has discipline behind it, which gives them a clear, methodical way of working through ideas. With Mercury trine Saturn, conclusions can be trusted because they have usually been tested already, often more thoroughly than anyone nearby realises.
Mars square Saturn
about 5.4° at midday
Alan's drive can meet resistance, from outside obstacles or from private doubt, and frustration builds when progress feels blocked. Under this square, every stretch of steady work done anyway turns that resistance into competence, the kind that is there when it is needed most.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
