Annie Leibovitz’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Annie Leibovitz was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, on 2 October 1949, a Sunday. Their zodiac sign is Libra, with the Moon in Aquarius. Annie turns 77 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the ten planets, four are in air signs, two in fire, two in earth and two in water. By modality the count is five cardinal, four fixed and one mutable. Sun, Mercury and Neptune all fall in Libra. The tightest aspect is Mars sextile Neptune, about 1.0° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury was retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 15 other people born on 2 October, among them Graham Greene, Sting and Alisson Becker. Wikidata links Annie with one person in the dataset: Susan Sontag (listed as partners, 1989 to 2004).
Annie Leibovitz’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 9° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Annie Leibovitz's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.
Moon sign
Aquarius
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Annie 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 Waterbury, Connecticut, at each hour of the day.
Annie Leibovitz’s rising sign, by birth time

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 2 October 1949, computed for Waterbury, Connecticut.

Annie Leibovitz’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Annie Leibovitz’s private life.
Sun in Libra
9° Libra 09' at midday
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Libra, Annie Leibovitz's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.
Moon in Aquarius
Aquarius, all day
needs and habits
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Annie 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 Libra
11° Libra 34' at midday ℞
mind and voice
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Annie tends to communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. Settling on an opinion can take so long that the moment for it passes. They may change their mind in the middle of a conversation because the other point had merit.
Venus in Scorpio
21° Scorpio 04' at midday
love and values
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Annie is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
Mars in Leo
15° Leo 44' at midday
drive and anger
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Annie 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 Capricorn
22° Capricorn 38' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Capricorn grows through long-term discipline, and Annie would probably rather build slowly and properly than quickly. The overreach is taking on more responsibility than any one person should reasonably carry. The authority this Jupiter brings is slow and hard-won, the kind people tend to trust more the longer they know someone.
Saturn in Virgo
13° Virgo 18' at midday
discipline and doubt
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Annie may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Cancer
4° Cancer 59' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Annie 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
14° Libra 41' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Annie 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
17° Leo 40' 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 Annie, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Annie Leibovitz’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 sextile Neptune
about 1.0° at midday
In Annie Leibovitz's chart, drive and imagination help each other along gently, so inspired action is possible before everything has been mapped out. The motivation is soft but workable, and it keeps a creative or compassionate project moving without forcing it.
Venus sextile Jupiter
about 1.6° at midday
Warmth and generosity come naturally to Annie 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.
Mars conjunction Pluto
about 1.9° at midday
With Mars conjunct Pluto, drive tends to be intense and relentless, and once Annie is committed to something they are likely to see it through whatever the cost. There is staying power to spare, so the art is in choosing battles, and keeping that intensity away from the ones that do not deserve it.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 2.4° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Annie's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Mercury conjunction Neptune
about 3.1° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Neptune, Annie's thinking is likely to be imaginative and impressionistic, working through images and instinct as much as straight logic. It is a creative and intuitive strength, at its best when a compelling idea has been held up against the facts before being embraced.
Venus square Pluto
about 3.4° at midday
Where Venus squares Pluto, the desire for closeness can get tangled with control, and the aspect is associated with jealousy, possessiveness or testing a partner's loyalty. Whenever Annie chooses trust over control, that intensity becomes a strength instead of a strain.
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?
