Álvaro Recoba’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Álvaro Recoba was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, on 17 March 1976, a Wednesday. That makes Álvaro a Pisces, with the Moon in Libra. Álvaro turns 50 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Álvaro; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Water carries the most weight: five of the ten planets, against air three, fire two and earth none. Mutable signs hold five, cardinal signs four and fixed signs one. Three planets stand together in Pisces: Sun, Mercury and Venus. The tightest aspect is Mercury square Neptune, about 0.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 17 March, among them Nat King Cole, Kurt Russell and Rudolf Nureyev.

Álvaro Recoba’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 27° 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 Álvaro Recoba the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Libra
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Álvaro, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
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 Montevideo, Uruguay, at each hour of the day.
Álvaro Recoba’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Álvaro 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 17 March 1976, computed for Montevideo, Uruguay.

Álvaro Recoba’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Álvaro Recoba’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Álvaro Recoba'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.
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Álvaro's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Álvaro 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.
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Álvaro 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, Álvaro 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 Aries
28° Aries 00' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Álvaro's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.
Emotional security is where Álvaro's Saturn in Cancer builds discipline; it is a placement often associated with learning early to be the steady one. Asking for care tends to be difficult with this Saturn, even when care is clearly needed. Over time, people with this placement often become the dependable anchor for others, including some who never quite return the favour.
Uranus in Scorpio
6° Scorpio 35' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Much of Álvaro's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.
Neptune in Sagittarius
13° Sagittarius 58' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Álvaro in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
10° Libra 42' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Álvaro belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in Álvaro Recoba’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.
Mercury square Neptune
about 0.5° at midday
Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps Álvaro Recoba is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.
Sun trine Saturn
about 1.0° at midday
Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because Álvaro's sense of self and capacity for discipline reinforce each other. What they build tends to last, since ambition and patience are already in agreement.
Mars sextile Jupiter
about 1.6° at midday
There is confident, well-aimed energy in this sextile, and not much wasted effort, since Álvaro's drive and optimism pull together. Taking the initiative suits Álvaro, above all when they commit to one goal and do not scatter their energy across several.
Jupiter square Saturn
about 1.9° at midday
Enthusiasm for growth can run into limits here, whether practical or self-imposed, and to Álvaro it may feel as though ambition keeps outrunning the time and energy available. Jupiter square Saturn works best when the limit is treated as a pace-setter and not as a wall.
Sun square Mars
about 2.4° at midday
Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Álvaro's sense of self and their drive to act. With the Sun square Mars, a pause between the impulse and the action turns this friction into determination they can use.
Venus trine Uranus
about 3.4° at midday
Closeness does not have to feel confining for Álvaro, because under this trine affection and independence sit easily together. Excitement and stability manage to coexist, more comfortably than the usual choice between the two would suggest.
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?
