Broderick Crawford’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
9 December 1911 was a Saturday: the day Broderick Crawford was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That made Broderick a Sagittarius. The Moon left Cancer for Leo at about 00:40 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Broderick died on 26 April 1986, aged 74. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is four earth, two water, one fire and one air, leaving out the Moon and Venus, whose signs depend on the birth time. By modality the count is three cardinal, three fixed and two mutable. Closest of the aspects is the trine between Mars and Uranus, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Mars, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 9 December, among them Kirk Douglas, Judi Dench and John Malkovich.

Broderick Crawford’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 16° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Broderick Crawford forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 00:40, then Leo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 00:40: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Broderick 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.
Born after about 00:40: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Broderick up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
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.
Broderick Crawford’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Broderick 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 9 December 1911, computed for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Broderick Crawford’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Broderick Crawford’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Broderick Crawford's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.
Moon in Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 00:40, then Leo
needs and habits
Born before about 00:40: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Broderick'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.
Born after about 00:40: 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 Broderick faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Broderick did.
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Broderick tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Broderick will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
Venus in Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 04:25, then Scorpio
love and values
Born before about 04:25: Venus in Libra
Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Broderick 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. Broderick may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.
Born after about 04:25: Venus in Scorpio
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Broderick is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
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 Broderick 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 Scorpio
29° Scorpio 49' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Broderick, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Broderick is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Capricorn
27° Capricorn 04' at midday
freedom, generational
Many people within a few years of Broderick's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.
Neptune in Cancer
23° Cancer 19' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Broderick 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
28° Gemini 12' at midday ℞
power, generational
Broderick 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 Broderick Crawford’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.
Mars trine Uranus
about 0.1° at midday
Broderick Crawford's drive and originality tend to run together easily, which allows fast, inventive action when a situation calls for something different. Mars trine Uranus can make a bold move look natural, and it is carried off more often than the risk would seem to justify.
Venus trine Pluto
about 2.1° at midday
With Venus trine Pluto, affection and the capacity for change tend to strengthen each other in Broderick's chart, the kind of pairing that gives relationships staying power through hard times. Depth can arrive here without constant upheaval, and that is rarer, and more durable, than the intensity some people mistake for closeness.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
about 2.8° at midday
This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so Broderick can take up a fresh opportunity without much disruption. Think of it as innovation at low cost, the kind that improves something without first tearing it down.
Mars opposition Jupiter
about 2.8° at midday
Mars opposite Jupiter pits Broderick's own direct action against other people's grander plans or expectations, which can end in overcommitting to someone else's vision. Broderick's own sense of scale is usually a better guide than anyone else's.
Venus square Uranus
about 3.3° at midday
In Broderick's chart the desire for closeness and the need for freedom can work against each other, and this square is known for sudden shifts in an otherwise good relationship. The remedy is to build enough independence into the relationship that none has to be created by pulling away.
Mars sextile Neptune
about 3.7° at midday
In Broderick's chart, drive and imagination help each other along gently, so inspired action is possible before everything has been mapped out. The motivation is soft but workable, and it keeps a creative or compassionate project moving without forcing it.
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.
