Birdy’s birth chart
Born 15 May 1996, in Lymington, England. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Taurus Sun · Moon in Aries or Taurus
Birdy’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Birdy was born on Wednesday, 15 May 1996, in Lymington, England. That makes Birdy a Taurus. The Moon was in Aries until about 10:25 and in Taurus afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Birdy turns 30 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Birdy; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is five earth, two fire, two air and no water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Fixed signs hold four, cardinal signs three and mutable signs two. Taurus holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Mars. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Saturn and Uranus: a sextile, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 12 other people born on 15 May, among them Layal Abboud, Andy Murray and Ousmane Dembélé.

Birdy’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 24° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Birdy than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 10:25, then Taurus (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 10:25: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Birdy is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
Born after about 10:25: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Birdy, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
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 Lymington, England, at each hour of the day.
Birdy’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Birdy 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 15 May 1996, computed for Lymington, England.

Birdy’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Birdy’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Birdy's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
Moon in Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 10:25, then Taurus
needs and habits
Born before about 10:25: Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Birdy, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
Born after about 10:25: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Birdy more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
With Mercury in Taurus, Birdy is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.
Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. Birdy probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times Birdy may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.
Jupiter in Capricorn
17° Capricorn 28' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Capricorn grows through long-term discipline, and Birdy would probably rather build slowly and properly than quickly. The overreach is taking on more responsibility than any one person should reasonably carry. The authority this Jupiter brings is slow and hard-won, the kind people tend to trust more the longer they know someone.
Saturn in Aries builds discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse. For Birdy, that suggests a doubt that takes the form of second-guessing: too fast, or not fast enough? Confidence in their own initiative tends to come slowly, once the rush goes out of every decision.
Uranus in Aquarius
4° Aquarius 33' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus is at home in Aquarius, and many people born in the years around Birdy's birth have it too. The generation is defined by rapid technological and social change within a single lifetime. One person's share of it is an unusually easy relationship with disruption and reinvention.
Neptune in Capricorn
27° Capricorn 41' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Birdy and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.
Pluto in Sagittarius
1° Sagittarius 56' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Sagittarius is an era's placement, shared by Birdy with many people of a similar age. This generation transforms belief, religion and ideas of truth on a large scale. In one life it can be intensity around whatever worldview a person has chosen to hold.
Aspects in Birdy’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.
Saturn sextile Uranus
about 0.4° at midday
Discipline and independence combine in this sextile to give Birdy a workable way of keeping a routine while leaving room to change it. The flexibility is quiet and sustainable, and it keeps a good habit from calcifying into an unquestioned rule.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 0.6° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Birdy'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.
Saturn trine Pluto
about 2.2° at midday
Discipline and the capacity for transformation work together under Saturn trine Pluto, so Birdy can rebuild after a setback with a strength that outlasts the difficulty. Such endurance is quiet and formidable, and other people tend to notice it only in hindsight, once the hard period has passed.
Sun trine Neptune
about 2.8° at midday
Birdy's identity and imagination flow together easily, giving them an intuitive, artistic quality that feels natural rather than performed. With the Sun trine Neptune, compassion comes without much effort, and other people often sense it before a word has been said.
Mercury trine Neptune
about 3.4° at midday
Birdy probably has a natural gift for metaphor, storytelling and intuitive leaps, the work of thinking and imagination in easy partnership. With Mercury trine Neptune, communicating something hard to put into words comes easily, in a way that other people often find memorable.
Mars square Uranus
about 4.9° at midday
This square can make drive turn abrupt, leading to sudden decisions or breaks that surprise Birdy as much as they surprise everyone nearby. A brief pause before the impulsive move keeps the courage and loses the recklessness.
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?
