Alexey Pajitnov’s birth chart
Born 16 April 1955, in Moscow, Russia. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Aries Sun · Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius
Alexey Pajitnov’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Alexey Pajitnov was born in Moscow, Russia, on 16 April 1955, a Saturday. That makes Alexey an Aries. The Moon changed sign at about 00:20, from Capricorn to Aquarius; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Alexey turns 71 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Alexey, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is four water, three fire, two air and no earth, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is five, two and two. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Saturn: a trine, about 0.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. Over the course of the day the Moon went from last quarter to waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 28 other people born on 16 April, among them Selena, Margrethe II and Akon.

Alexey Pajitnov’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries
about 25° Aries at midday
An Aries Sun starts things. For Alexey Pajitnov that points to energy that is direct and impatient with delay, and to feeling most like themselves when there is something to go first at. The work of this placement is finishing what the spark began.
Moon sign
Capricorn or Aquarius
Capricorn until about 00:20, then Aquarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 00:20: Moon in Capricorn
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Alexey 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.
Born after about 00:20: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Alexey is likely to understand an emotion better than they inhabit it, and to need space and ideas to process. For this Moon, friends are family and freedom is security.
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 Moscow, Russia, at each hour of the day.
Alexey Pajitnov’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Alexey 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 16 April 1955, computed for Moscow, Russia.

Alexey Pajitnov’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Alexey Pajitnov’s private life.
With the Sun in Aries, Alexey Pajitnov's sense of purpose tends to come alive when there is a clear start line. They probably feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though that energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. The typical pattern is a project launched with excitement, then handed off once the routine sets in.

Capricorn until about 00:20, then Aquarius
needs and habits
Born before about 00:20: Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn, Alexey'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.
Born after about 00:20: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Alexey is likely to need a degree of independence built into any close relationship. The temptation is to analyse a feeling instead of simply having it. Even after a good day with people, this Moon needs time alone to recover.
Mercury in Aries suggests that Alexey thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Alexey probably values emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The temptation can be to idealise a partner before really seeing them. Generosity in relationships comes easily here, and so does missing the moment when giving starts to outweigh getting.
With Mars in Gemini, Alexey is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Jupiter in Cancer
21° Cancer 19' at midday
growth and excess
For Alexey, Jupiter in Cancer means growing by nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The excess can be protecting loved ones past the point they need it. Generosity here takes the form of home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.
Saturn in Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for Alexey letting go of either is unlikely to come easily. The doubt is bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given no reason for it. Comfort with vulnerability can come in the end, and the work it takes is seldom seen by others.
Uranus in Cancer
23° Cancer 41' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Alexey alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.
Neptune in Libra
26° Libra 54' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Alexey 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
24° Leo 23' 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 Alexey, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Alexey Pajitnov’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 trine Saturn
about 0.6° at midday
A steady, dependable way of loving, one that people trust, is what this trine gives Alexey Pajitnov, since affection and commitment hold each other up. Relationships built on it tend to last, often well past the point where less committed people would have moved on.
Sun trine Pluto
about 1.2° at midday
Alexey's sense of self and capacity for change support each other, so they are likely to meet hard periods with resilience and come out of them still themselves. A Sun-Pluto trine is deep strength, and it does not need to be loud.
Venus trine Jupiter
about 1.2° at midday
Affection and a sense of plenty reinforce each other in Alexey's chart, and the result is a warm, easy generosity in relationships. With this trine, goodwill in love and friendship tends to be given freely and returned in kind, without much forcing on either side.
Sun opposition Neptune
about 1.3° at midday
For Alexey, a clear, grounded sense of self sits on one side, and on the other a habit of idealising people or situations past what they can deliver. With this aspect, holding compassion and clear sight together resolves more than choosing one over the other.
Jupiter trine Saturn
about 1.8° at midday
Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Alexey 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.
Sun square Uranus
about 1.9° at midday
When the Sun is square Uranus, Alexey's identity keeps bumping against a need to break from convention, which can look like sudden changes of direction that surprise the people nearby. The skill is choosing those disruptions rather than letting restlessness choose them.
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?
