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.

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.

Bernie Mac’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Bernie 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 5 October 1957, computed for Chicago, Illinois.

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.

  1. Sun in Libra

    12° Libra 11' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    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.

  2. Moon in Pisces

    Pisces, all day

    needs and habits

    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.

  3. Mercury in Virgo

    28° Virgo 43' at midday

    mind and voice

    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.

  4. Venus in Scorpio

    25° Scorpio 00' at midday

    love and values

    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.

  5. Mars in Libra

    7° Libra 28' at midday

    drive and anger

    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.

  6. 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.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius

    9° Sagittarius 59' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

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.
