Bob Fosse’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Bob Fosse was born on Thursday, 23 June 1927, in Chicago, Illinois. Their zodiac sign was Cancer, with the Moon in Aries. Bob died on 23 September 1987, aged 60. StarMap has no verified birth time for Bob, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the ten planets, seven are in fire signs and three in water; none is in earth or air. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is six, three and one. Three planets stand together in Cancer: Sun, Mercury and Pluto. Three planets stand together in Aries: Moon, Jupiter and Uranus. Leo holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Venus, Mars and Neptune. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Jupiter and Saturn: a trine, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Saturn was retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from last quarter to waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 23 June, among them Zinedine Zidane, Frances McDormand and Jean Anouilh.

Bob Fosse’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
about 1° Cancer at midday
A Cancer Sun protects. For Bob Fosse, home, memory and the people they have decided are theirs tend to sit at the centre of things, and they probably read a room before anyone speaks. Care is the strength of this Sun, and their task is to include themselves in it.
Moon sign
Aries
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Aries, Bob 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.
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.
Bob Fosse’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Bob 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 23 June 1927, computed for Chicago, Illinois.

Bob Fosse’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Bob Fosse’s private life.
With the Sun in Cancer, Bob Fosse is likely to feel most alive when caring for people and places that matter to them, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. Feeling unneeded is the sore spot for this placement, and it can be taken personally. The whole day may go better after checking in on someone they love.
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Bob, 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.
Mercury in Cancer thinks in terms of memory and feeling as much as logic, and Bob probably communicates best when there is emotional trust in the room. Mood can colour how a fact gets delivered or received. Years after the details have faded, this is a mind that remembers exactly how a conversation felt.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Bob, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Bob its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Aries
2° Aries 01' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Bob's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.
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, Bob 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 Aries
3° Aries 18' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus spends about seven years in each sign, so Bob shares Uranus in Aries with many people of a similar age. It marks a generation that pushes for change through direct, individual action rather than waiting for permission. In one life it can appear as impatience with the slow-moving institutions older generations built.
Neptune in Leo
24° Leo 49' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Bob alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
15° Cancer 04' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Bob to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Bob Fosse’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.
Jupiter trine Saturn
about 0.4° at midday
Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Bob Fosse pursue big goals with steady follow-through. Growth of this kind tends to be gradual and durable, not sudden and fragile, the sort of progress that survives a difficult year.
Sun square Jupiter
about 0.8° at midday
Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect Bob may promise more than can be delivered and then walk it back. The lesson of a Sun-Jupiter square is scaling a good instinct to a size that holds.
Saturn trine Uranus
about 0.9° at midday
This trine lets Bob 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 conjunction Uranus
about 1.3° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Bob is likely to be drawn to opportunities that break from the expected path. Openness to change is the strength. Following through on one bold idea before moving on to the next is the discipline.
Sun square Uranus
about 2.1° at midday
When the Sun is square Uranus, Bob's identity keeps bumping against a need to break from convention, which can look like sudden changes of direction that surprise the people nearby. The skill is choosing those disruptions rather than letting restlessness choose them.
Mercury trine Jupiter
about 5.8° at midday
Bob's thinking and sense of possibility reinforce each other, which gives them an easy, optimistic way of connecting ideas. Learning and explaining come naturally with Mercury trine Jupiter, and a good explanation of theirs tends to stay with people long after the conversation ends.
The rest, listed without a reading.

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?
