Bernie Mac’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Bernie Mac was born on Saturday, 5 October 1957, in Chicago, Illinois. That made Bernie a Libra, with the Moon in Pisces. Bernie died on 9 August 2008, aged 50. No verified birth time is on file for Bernie; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the ten planets, three are in air signs, three in water, two in fire and two in earth. By modality the count is four mutable, three cardinal and three fixed. Sun, Mars and Jupiter all fall in Libra. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Sun and Jupiter, exact to a tenth of a degree. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. No planet was retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 24 other people born on 5 October, among them Václav Havel, Kate Winslet and Imran Khan.

Bernie Mac’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 12° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Bernie Mac'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
Pisces
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Pisces, Bernie may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
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 Chicago, Illinois, at each hour of the day.
Bernie Mac’s rising sign, by birth time

Bernie Mac’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Bernie Mac’s private life.
With the Sun in Libra, Bernie Mac'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.
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Bernie more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
For Bernie, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Bernie 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.
In Bernie's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.
Jupiter in Libra
12° Libra 09' at midday
growth and excess
In Bernie'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 Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Bernie is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.
Uranus in Leo
10° Leo 51' at midday
freedom, generational
Bernie shares Uranus in Leo with a generation, one that redefines self-expression and individuality, often through forms of creativity and visibility that were not available before. Closer to home, it suggests being comfortable with being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.
Neptune in Scorpio
1° Scorpio 35' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Bernie 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
1° Virgo 28' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Bernie 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 Bernie Mac’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.
Sun conjunction Jupiter
about 0.0° at midday
Bernie Mac's identity carries a natural optimism and a generous sense of scale, so they tend to think bigger than the room requires. Confidence comes easily with the Sun conjunct Jupiter, and the discipline worth building is matching that optimism with follow-through.
Saturn trine Uranus
about 0.9° at midday
This trine lets Bernie build lasting structures that still leave room for change, because discipline and independence are allies here. Consistency and originality coexist with ease, and neither of them has to be given up to make room for the other.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
about 1.3° at midday
This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so Bernie can take up a fresh opportunity without much disruption. Think of it as innovation at low cost, the kind that improves something without first tearing it down.
Sun sextile Uranus
about 1.3° at midday
There is room for Bernie to be a little unconventional without losing much by it, since identity and originality get along well here. Other people tend to find this easy, unforced independence refreshing rather than alarming.
Jupiter sextile Saturn
about 2.2° at midday
A workable, grounded kind of optimism comes from this sextile, in which Bernie's sense of possibility and sense of structure assist each other. The plans they make tend to hold together, even under the sort of pressure that scatters looser ones.
Sun sextile Saturn
about 2.2° at midday
Steady, unglamorous effort is likely to feel worthwhile to Bernie rather than draining, because it fits their sense of who they are. Consistency probably comes more easily to them than they give themselves credit for, especially once they stop waiting for permission to claim 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?
