Benedict Cumberbatch’s birth chart

Benedict Cumberbatch's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Cancer

   ♋ 26° Cancer 53'

   purpose and vitality

   They feel most alive when Benedict is caring for people and places that matter to they, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. The tension is taking things personally when they feel unneeded. It shows up in how much better their whole day goes after they have checked in on someone they love.

2. ☽Moon in Aries

   ♈ 28° Aries 55'

   needs and habits

   Their day to day needs are simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. Comfort comes from action rather than discussion. It shows up as pacing the room or going for a walk instead of sitting with a feeling until it passes on its own.

3. ☿Mercury in Leo

   ♌ 1° Leo 20'

   mind and voice

   They think in confident, story-shaped terms and communicate with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. The tension is being more persuasive than accurate when Benedict is attached to being right. It shows up as turning a simple update into something closer to a performance.

4. ♀Venus in Leo

   ♌ 5° Leo 30'

   love and values

   They love generously and openly, and they value being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else they could offer they. The tension is needing steady reassurance that Benedict is still adored. It shows up as grand, thoughtful gestures and a genuine hurt when they go unnoticed.

5. ♂Mars in Virgo

   ♍ 7° Virgo 35'

   drive and anger

   They act carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and their anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. The tension is criticising instead of confronting when Benedict is actually upset. It shows up as a clipped tone that signals frustration well before they say anything directly.

6. ♃Jupiter in Taurus

   ♉ 25° Taurus 27'

   growth and excess

   They grow through patience, and their luck tends to show up in steady accumulation rather than a single windfall. The overreach is excess, holding onto more comfort or more stuff than actually serves they. It shows up as a generosity with food, gifts and shared pleasures that occasionally tips into indulgence.

7. ♄Saturn in Leo

   ♌ 5° Leo 14'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around genuine self-expression, often held back early by a fear of being laughed at or overlooked. The doubt shows up as downplaying their own achievements before anyone else can. It shows up as a hard-won, unshowy confidence that arrives once they stop waiting for permission to be seen.

8. ♅Uranus in Scorpio

   ♏ 3° Scorpio 03'

   freedom, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that transforms power, secrecy and shared resources, often living through major upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. Personally, it can show up as a low tolerance for hidden agendas.

9. ♆Neptune in Sagittarius

   ♐ 11° Sagittarius 29' ℞

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that dreams in terms of grand belief systems and utopian journeys. Personally, it can show up as a hopeful faith that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.

10. ♇Pluto in Libra

    ♎ 9° Libra 11'

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of partnership, justice and social contracts. Personally, it can show up as an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.

Aspects

How the planets in Benedict Cumberbatch's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Venus conjunction Saturn

   0.3° separating

   Their capacity for love is serious and committed, and they take relationships as something to build rather than simply enjoy. This makes they genuinely loyal, and the edge is trusting that they deserve affection they have not had to earn first.

2. Sun sextile Jupiter

   1.4° separating

   Their identity and their sense of possibility work together nicely, opening doors when Benedict is willing to walk through them. A little deliberate effort turns this natural optimism into real momentum that carries past the initial burst of enthusiasm.

3. Mercury square Uranus

   1.7° applying

   Their thinking can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or they dismis a slower approach that actually had merit. The lesson is pacing a genuinely good idea so it can actually be used.

4. Sun square Moon

   2.0° separating

   Who Benedict is trying to be and what actually comforts they sometime tug in different directions, and that friction sharpens their self-awareness. Working through it teaches they to want things in a way their feelings can actually live with.
