Bob Hope’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Bob Hope was born on Friday, 29 May 1903, in Well Hall, England. The Sun was in Gemini, so Gemini was their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Cancer. Bob died on 27 July 2003, aged 100. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the ten planets, four are in air signs, four in water, one in fire and one in earth. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, one and six. Gemini holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Pluto. Moon, Venus and Neptune all fall in Cancer. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Jupiter and Pluto: a square, about 1.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury, Saturn and Uranus were retrograde. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 29 May, among them Annette Bening, Andrey Arshavin and Noel Gallagher.

Bob Hope’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Gemini
about 6° Gemini at midday
A Gemini Sun connects. Ideas, people and conversations are its element, and Bob Hope probably learns by talking things through. This placement is happiest with two projects and a question nobody has answered yet.
Moon sign
Cancer
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Bob 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 Well Hall, England, at each hour of the day.
Bob Hope’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 29 May 1903, computed for Well Hall, England.

Bob Hope’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Bob Hope’s private life.
For Bob Hope, the Sun in Gemini means vitality that comes from variety, and purpose that feels most real when they are learning or explaining something new. What suffers is focus, with energy scattered across too many half-finished things at once. Several projects and three hobbies on the go at the same time would be in character.
With the Moon in Cancer, Bob'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.
Bob's Mercury in Gemini describes a mind that moves fast across many subjects at once and communicates easily in almost any setting. The tension is skimming the surface of a topic and moving on before going deep enough to be sure of it. The result is knowing a little about a great many things.
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Bob that suggests valuing emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. Old hurts tend to linger here long after the person who caused them has changed. This is a Venus that feeds people, checks on people and quietly keeps score of who has shown up in return.
Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Bob is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Pisces
20° Pisces 07' at midday
growth and excess
For Bob, Jupiter in Pisces means finding growth in compassion, imagination and a willingness to trust things that cannot be fully explained. The overreach is an idealism about people or situations that the facts do not quite support. Others lean on this generosity of spirit more than they let on.
With Saturn in Aquarius, Bob's discipline probably gathers around belonging to a group on their own terms; it is the placement of the one-time outsider. The doubt means holding back the stranger ideas until there is no risk of mockery. The outsider often ends up as a trusted voice in exactly the kind of community that once seemed unlikely to accept them.
Uranus in Sagittarius
24° Sagittarius 20' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Bob than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Cancer
2° Cancer 24' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Bob and many people born in the same decade or so. The generation idealises home and family, often carrying a wider nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never quite have existed. Personally it can be a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.
Pluto in Gemini
18° Gemini 52' at midday
power, generational
Bob shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.
Aspects in Bob Hope’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 square Pluto
about 1.3° at midday
Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Bob Hope's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.
Venus trine Jupiter
about 2.0° at midday
Affection and a sense of plenty reinforce each other in Bob's chart, and the result is a warm, easy generosity in relationships. With this trine, goodwill in love and friendship tends to be given freely and returned in kind, without much forcing on either side.
Sun trine Saturn
about 2.3° at midday
Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because Bob's sense of self and capacity for discipline reinforce each other. What they build tends to last, since ambition and patience are already in agreement.
Mars square Neptune
about 2.7° at midday
Under this square, drive can dissolve into confusion or self-doubt just when clarity matters most, especially around goals that involve other people's expectations. It helps Bob to separate the plan itself from the feeling of overwhelm that surrounds it.
Jupiter square Uranus
about 4.2° at midday
An appetite for growth can turn erratic under Jupiter square Uranus, with sudden changes of direction that leave earlier plans unfinished. The instinct for change this square gives Bob is a good one, and it does most when channelled into fewer, more deliberate moves that get to see the finish line.
Mercury conjunction Pluto
about 4.4° at midday
Bob's thinking is likely to be probing and intense, drawn to what lies underneath a surface explanation. With Mercury conjunct Pluto, getting to the bottom of things comes naturally, and the caution is not to assume a hidden motive where an ordinary one will do.
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?
