Alan Thicke’s birth chart

Pisces Sun · Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Alan Thicke’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
1 March 1947 was a Saturday: the day Alan Thicke was born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada. The Sun was in Pisces, so Pisces was their zodiac sign. The Moon changed sign at about 16:00, from Gemini to Cancer; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Alan died on 13 December 2016, aged 69. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in air signs, three in water, two in fire and one in earth. By modality the count is four fixed, three mutable and two cardinal. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mars and Jupiter: a square, about 0.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from first quarter to waxing gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 1 March, among them Justin Bieber, Javier Bardem and Kesha.

Alan Thicke’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 10° Pisces at midday
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make Alan Thicke the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 16:00, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 16:00: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Alan, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
Born after about 16:00: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Alan that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.
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 Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada, at each hour of the day.
Alan Thicke’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 1 March 1947, computed for Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada.

Alan Thicke’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Alan Thicke’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Alan Thicke's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.
Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 16:00, then Cancer
needs and habits
Born before about 16:00: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Alan is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
Born after about 16:00: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Alan's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Alan is likely to communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. Explaining a conclusion they nonetheless feel certain about can be the struggle. It is the kind of mind that knows something is off before it can say why.
For Alan, Venus in Capricorn means loving in a measured, committed way and valuing stability, ambition and someone to build a life with. The trap is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. With this Venus, love comes out more easily as providing and planning than as words said out loud.
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Alan can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Scorpio
27° Scorpio 18' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Alan, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
Saturn in Leo builds discipline around self-expression, and in Alan's chart this placement often starts with a fear of being laughed at or overlooked. The doubt tends to show as playing down achievements before anyone else can. The confidence this placement builds is hard-won and unshowy, and it tends to arrive once the waiting for permission stops.
Uranus in Gemini
17° Gemini 45' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Alan and many people born in the same few years. These are people who come of age alongside a revolution in communication, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. The personal version is a restless need for new information.
Neptune in Libra
10° Libra 12' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Alan among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
11° Leo 34' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for Alan, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Alan Thicke’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.
Mars square Jupiter
about 0.3° at midday
Drive can outrun capacity under Mars square Jupiter, and Alan Thicke may overextend on a project or on a promise made in a burst of confidence. The enthusiasm is sound. It needs matching to a pace that can be sustained.
Venus sextile Jupiter
about 1.3° at midday
Warmth and generosity come naturally to Alan and stop short of overextending, because affection and optimism work together in this sextile. Call it comfortable, unforced goodwill, the kind that makes people feel welcome without any performance being needed.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 3.2° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Alan's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.
Mercury trine Jupiter
about 4.5° at midday
Alan's thinking and sense of possibility reinforce each other, which gives them an easy, optimistic way of connecting ideas. Learning and explaining come naturally with Mercury trine Jupiter, and a good explanation of theirs tends to stay with people long after the conversation ends.
Mercury square Uranus
about 5.1° at midday
With Mercury square Uranus, the mind can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or Alan may dismiss a slower approach that had merit. A good idea, paced, gives other people the chance to use it.
Jupiter trine Saturn
about 5.6° at midday
Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Alan pursue big goals with steady follow-through. Growth of this kind tends to be gradual and durable, not sudden and fragile, the sort of progress that survives a difficult year.
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?
