Libra Sun · Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn
Arthur Penn’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
27 September 1922 was a Wednesday: the day Arthur Penn was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That made Arthur a Libra. The Moon left Sagittarius for Capricorn at about 10:15 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Arthur died on 28 September 2010, aged 88. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is four air, three water, one fire and one earth, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Cardinal signs hold six, fixed signs two and mutable signs one. Four planets stand together in Libra: Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. Closest of the aspects is the trine between Uranus and Pluto, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Uranus. The Moon was at its first quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 18 other people born on 27 September, among them Avril Lavigne, Gwyneth Paltrow and Francesco Totti.

Arthur Penn’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 3° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Arthur Penn'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
Sagittarius or Capricorn
Sagittarius until about 10:15, then Capricorn (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 10:15: Moon in Sagittarius
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Arthur, 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 10:15: Moon in Capricorn
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Arthur 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 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at each hour of the day.
Arthur Penn’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Arthur 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 27 September 1922, computed for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Arthur Penn’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Arthur Penn’s private life.
With the Sun in Libra, Arthur Penn'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.

Sagittarius until about 10:15, then Capricorn
needs and habits
Born before about 10:15: 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 Arthur 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 10:15: Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn, Arthur'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.
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Arthur 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 loves intensely and privately, and Arthur 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 Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Arthur's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.
Jupiter in Libra
23° Libra 43' at midday
growth and excess
In Arthur'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.
For Arthur, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.
Uranus in Pisces
10° Pisces 44' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Arthur has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
17° Leo 23' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Arthur alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
11° Cancer 10' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Arthur to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Arthur Penn’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.
Saturn square Pluto
about 1.4° at midday
Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and Arthur Penn may grip a structure most tightly at the very moment it needs to change. Each old form that is let go leaves a strength behind that is more real than the grip was.
Mars square Saturn
about 1.6° at midday
Arthur'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.
Venus square Neptune
about 2.1° at midday
Under Venus square Neptune, affection can blur into an idealised picture of love, and disappointment follows when a real person or relationship falls short of the dream. Arthur's task is to love what is there, which tends to prove more durable than loving the fantasy.
Mars sextile Uranus
about 2.5° at midday
Bold, original action comes to Arthur without much friction, because drive and independence are on good terms in this sextile. It is useful initiative with little drama attached, the sort that tries something new without making a big production of it.
Mars opposition Pluto
about 2.9° at midday
Mars opposite Pluto can draw Arthur away from simply asserting their will and into power struggles with people who seem to be testing them. Staying focused on the goal, and not on winning the confrontation, resolves more of what is at stake.
Sun square Mars
about 4.4° at midday
Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Arthur'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.
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?
