Bo Derek’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Bo Derek was born on Tuesday, 20 November 1956, in Long Beach, California. The Sun was in Scorpio, so Scorpio is their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Gemini until about 08:20 and in Cancer afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Bo turns 70 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Bo, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.

By element the count is three fire, three water, two earth and one air, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is one, three and five. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Neptune and Pluto, about 0.8° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Uranus. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.

StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 20 November, among them Maya Plisetskaya, Mikhail Ulyanov and Don DeLillo.

Bo Derek’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Scorpio

about 28° Scorpio at midday

A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy Bo Derek, and with this Sun, loyalty, once given, tends to be total. This placement is built for transformation: it ends chapters fully so the next one can begin.

All Scorpio Suns

Moon sign

Gemini or Cancer

Gemini until about 08:20, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 08:20: Moon in Gemini

The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Bo, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.

Born after about 08:20: Moon in Cancer

The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Bo that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.

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 Long Beach, California, at each hour of the day.

Bo Derek’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Bo 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 20 November 1956, computed for Long Beach, California.

Bo Derek’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Scorpio

    28° Scorpio 29' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and Bo Derek's vitality tends to be fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The catch can be needing a crisis or a deep dive before they feel fully engaged. Small talk tends to bore them; a subject that interests them absorbs them completely.

  2. Moon in Gemini or Cancer

    Gemini until about 08:20, then Cancer

    needs and habits

    Born before about 08:20: Moon in Gemini

    The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Bo is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.

    Born after about 08:20: Moon in Cancer

    With the Moon in Cancer, Bo's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius

    3° Sagittarius 01' at midday

    mind and voice

    Bo'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 Libra

    24° Libra 13' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Bo probably values harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The risk with this Venus is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. Bo may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.

  5. Mars in Pisces

    22° Pisces 51' at midday

    drive and anger

    With Mars in Pisces, Bo is likely to act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and anger can turn into sadness before it has even been named as anger. The habit is to absorb conflict rather than address it. Often they need to leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo

    27° Virgo 10' at midday

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For Bo, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius

    4° Sagittarius 32' 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, Bo 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

    6° Leo 57' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Bo 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 10' at midday

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Bo 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

    0° Virgo 25' at midday

    power, generational

    Pluto in Virgo is shared by Bo 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 Bo Derek’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 sextile Jupiter

    about 1.3° at midday

    Optimism is part of who Bo Derek is, and it tends to show them open doors, provided they are willing to walk through. With some deliberate effort behind it, the outlook of a Sun-Jupiter sextile becomes momentum that carries past the first burst of enthusiasm.

  2. Mercury conjunction Saturn

    about 1.5° at midday

    With Mercury conjunct Saturn, Bo's thinking is likely to be careful and structured, and they tend to say only what they are sure of. That makes their word worth taking, and the risk is that caution keeps an idea back until it feels perfectly finished.

  3. Sun square Pluto

    about 1.9° at midday

    With this aspect, Bo's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever Bo chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.

  4. Saturn trine Uranus

    about 2.4° at midday

    This trine lets Bo 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.

  5. Mercury square Pluto

    about 2.6° at midday

    A simple disagreement can turn into something more charged when Mercury is square Pluto, as Bo looks for motives that may not be there. The lesson is trusting a straightforward answer when the evidence supports one, rather than assuming the deeper explanation is always the true one.

  6. Mercury trine Uranus

    about 3.9° at midday

    Insight is likely to come to Bo fast and without much effort, the product of thinking and originality that flow together easily. With Mercury trine Uranus, new ideas tend to arrive when they are needed, often faster than they can be written down.

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?
