Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s birth chart
Born 13 November 1969, in Mogadishu, Somalia. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Scorpio Sun · Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn
Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Ayaan Hirsi Ali was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, on 13 November 1969, a Thursday. Their zodiac sign is Scorpio. The Moon left Sagittarius for Capricorn at about 00:10 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Ayaan turns 57 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Ayaan, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is four water, three air, two earth and no fire, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Fixed signs hold six, cardinal signs two and mutable signs one. Scorpio holds a stellium, four planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Saturn: an opposition, about 0.9° 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: Saturn. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 13 November, among them Whoopi Goldberg, Garry Marshall and Gerard Butler. Gerard Butler was born on the very same day.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Scorpio
about 20° Scorpio at midday
A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and with this Sun, loyalty, once given, tends to be total. This placement is built for transformation: it ends chapters fully so the next one can begin.
Moon sign
Sagittarius or Capricorn
Sagittarius until about 00:10, then Capricorn (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 00:10: Moon in Sagittarius
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Ayaan, 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 00:10: Moon in Capricorn
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Ayaan 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 Mogadishu, Somalia, at each hour of the day.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Ayaan 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 13 November 1969, computed for Mogadishu, Somalia.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s private life.
The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali's vitality tends to be fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The catch can be needing a crisis or a deep dive before they feel fully engaged. Small talk tends to bore them; a subject that interests them absorbs them completely.
Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn
Sagittarius until about 00:10, then Capricorn
needs and habits
Born before about 00:10: 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 Ayaan 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 00:10: Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn, Ayaan'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.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Ayaan tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Ayaan 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 Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Ayaan 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 Libra
23° Libra 45' at midday
growth and excess
In Ayaan'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.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Ayaan is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Libra
7° Libra 08' at midday
freedom, generational
Ayaan holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Scorpio
28° Scorpio 09' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Ayaan shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
26° Virgo 47' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Ayaan and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Ayaan Hirsi Ali’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 opposition Saturn
about 0.9° at midday
The pull in this aspect is between wanting closeness and a wariness that keeps testing whether it will last. For Ayaan Hirsi Ali, letting someone prove themselves gradually, instead of doubting them from the outset, tends to build security sooner than suspicion does.
Mars trine Uranus
about 0.9° at midday
Ayaan's drive and originality tend to run together easily, which allows fast, inventive action when a situation calls for something different. Mars trine Uranus can make a bold move look natural, and it is carried off more often than the risk would seem to justify.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 1.7° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Ayaan'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.
Mars square Saturn
about 1.9° at midday
Ayaan'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 Mars
about 2.8° at midday
Desire and the need for harmony can clash where Venus squares Mars, and Ayaan may be caught between wanting something and wanting to keep the peace. What the aspect asks for is a want voiced directly, before it leaks out sideways.
Sun conjunction Neptune
about 7.3° at midday
A Sun-Neptune conjunction tends to make Ayaan's sense of self porous and imaginative, drawn towards ideals, art or causes bigger than everyday life. Compassion and creativity come with it, and so does the task of keeping a clear enough sense of who they are underneath the dream.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it 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?
