Bob Saget’s birth chart
Born 17 May 1956, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Taurus Sun · Moon in Leo or Virgo
Bob Saget’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Bob Saget was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 17 May 1956, a Thursday. The Sun was in Taurus, so Taurus was their zodiac sign. The Moon left Leo for Virgo at about 07:40 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Bob died on 9 January 2022, aged 65. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in air signs, three in water, two in fire and one in earth. Fixed signs hold five, cardinal signs three and mutable signs one. Closest of the aspects is the square between Sun and Pluto, about 0.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury, Saturn and Neptune were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from first quarter to waxing gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 17 May, among them Enya, Jean Gabin and Dennis Hopper.

Bob Saget’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 26° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Bob Saget 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
Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 07:40, then Virgo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 07:40: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Bob up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
Born after about 07:40: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Bob is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
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 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at each hour of the day.
Bob Saget’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 17 May 1956, computed for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Bob Saget’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Bob Saget’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Bob Saget'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 Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 07:40, then Virgo
needs and habits
Born before about 07:40: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Bob faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Bob did.
Born after about 07:40: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Bob's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Bob's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
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 Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Bob can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Leo
22° Leo 50' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Bob the overreach may be overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. There is a natural showmanship here that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.
Saturn in Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for Bob letting go of either is unlikely to come easily. The doubt is bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given no reason for it. Comfort with vulnerability can come in the end, and the work it takes is seldom seen by others.
Uranus in Cancer
28° Cancer 59' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Bob alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.
Neptune in Libra
28° Libra 18' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Bob among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
26° Leo 07' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for Bob, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Bob Saget’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.
Sun square Pluto
about 0.6° at midday
With this aspect, Bob Saget's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever Bob chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.
Saturn trine Uranus
about 0.7° 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.
Sun sextile Uranus
about 2.3° at midday
There is room for Bob 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.
Mars opposition Jupiter
about 2.5° at midday
Mars opposite Jupiter pits Bob's own direct action against other people's grander plans or expectations, which can end in overcommitting to someone else's vision. Bob's own sense of scale is usually a better guide than anyone else's.
Sun opposition Saturn
about 3.0° at midday
With the Sun opposite Saturn, Bob is likely to find that asserting who they are brings them up against the caution, rules or authority figures that seem to stand in the way. Working through that tension builds a confidence that does not need everyone's approval to hold steady.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto
about 3.3° at midday
Jupiter conjunct Pluto describes growth that is intense and transformative, and Bob is likely to pursue opportunities that change their circumstances outright instead of merely improving them. Ambition comes with it, and the skill is pacing that intensity so that it builds and does not flare and fade.
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?
