Benny Andersson’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

16 December 1946 was a Monday: the day Benny Andersson was born in Stockholm, Sweden. That makes Benny a Sagittarius. The Moon left Virgo for Libra at about 01:05 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Benny turns 80 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Benny, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.

By element the count is five fire, two air, two water and no earth, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is four fixed, four mutable and one cardinal. Sagittarius holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Mars. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Venus and Jupiter, about 0.9° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Saturn, Uranus and Pluto were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from last quarter to waning crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds 14 other people born on 16 December, among them Arthur C. Clarke, Margaret Mead and Mats Hummels. Wikidata links Benny with one person in the dataset: Anni-Frid Lyngstad (married in 1978, marriage ended in 1981).

Benny Andersson’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Sagittarius

about 23° Sagittarius at midday

A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Benny Andersson forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.

All Sagittarius Suns

Moon sign

Virgo or Libra

Virgo until about 01:05, then Libra (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 01:05: Moon in Virgo

A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Benny is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.

Born after about 01:05: Moon in Libra

A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Benny, 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 Stockholm, Sweden, at each hour of the day.

Benny Andersson’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Benny 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 16 December 1946, computed for Stockholm, Sweden.

Benny Andersson’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Benny Andersson’s private life.

  1. Sun in Sagittarius

    23° Sagittarius 53' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Benny Andersson's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.

  2. Moon in Virgo or Libra

    Virgo until about 01:05, then Libra

    needs and habits

    Born before about 01:05: Moon in Virgo

    The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Benny's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Benny's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.

    Born after about 01:05: Moon in Libra

    A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Benny'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.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius

    4° Sagittarius 23' at midday

    mind and voice

    Benny's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.

  4. Venus in Scorpio

    18° Scorpio 22' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Benny 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.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius

    29° Sagittarius 14' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Benny may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio

    17° Scorpio 26' at midday

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Benny, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.

  7. Saturn in Leo

    8° Leo 16' at midday ℞

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Leo builds discipline around self-expression, and in Benny's chart this placement often starts with a fear of being laughed at or overlooked. The doubt tends to show as playing down achievements before anyone else can. The confidence this placement builds is hard-won and unshowy, and it tends to arrive once the waiting for permission stops.

  8. Uranus in Gemini

    19° Gemini 35' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Uranus in Gemini is shared by Benny and many people born in the same few years. These are people who come of age alongside a revolution in communication, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. The personal version is a restless need for new information.

  9. Neptune in Libra

    10° Libra 35' at midday

    imagination, generational

    A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Benny 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.

  10. Pluto in Leo

    13° Leo 08' 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 Benny, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects in Benny Andersson’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.

  1. Venus conjunction Jupiter

    about 0.9° at midday

    Venus conjunct Jupiter tends to make Benny Andersson's capacity for love and pleasure generous and expansive, and it usually comes with a warm enjoyment of life. The result is naturally good company; the thing to watch is the point where generosity has quietly become excess.

  2. Saturn sextile Neptune

    about 2.3° at midday

    Benny's ideas tend to take a workable, grounded shape without losing their spark, a result of the gentle alliance between discipline and imagination in this sextile. It is a quiet, practical creativity, and it usually produces something people can use and not just admire.

  3. Mercury trine Saturn

    about 3.9° at midday

    Benny's thinking has discipline behind it, which gives them a clear, methodical way of working through ideas. With Mercury trine Saturn, conclusions can be trusted because they have usually been tested already, often more thoroughly than anyone nearby realises.

  4. Jupiter square Pluto

    about 4.3° at midday

    Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Benny's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.

  5. Sun opposition Uranus

    about 4.3° at midday

    With the Sun opposite Uranus, Benny's loyalty to their own path tends to bring them into collision with people or situations that expect conformity. Learning to be themselves without needing the collision gives them a quieter, more durable kind of independence.

  6. Saturn conjunction Pluto

    about 4.9° at midday

    Saturn conjunct Pluto describes discipline forged through intensity, often after a period that asked for more endurance than seemed fair at the time. For Benny the aspect suggests serious, hard-won resilience, and the remaining step is trusting that what needed proving has been proved.

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?
