Leo Sun · Moon in Libra or Scorpio
Carlos Marchena’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Carlos Marchena was born on Tuesday, 31 July 1979, in Seville, Spain. That makes Carlos a Leo. The Moon left Libra for Scorpio at about 15:45 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Carlos turns 47 in 2026. 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, five are in fire signs, two in air, one in earth and one in water. By modality the count is five fixed, three mutable and one cardinal. Leo holds a stellium, four planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. Closest of the aspects is the square between Jupiter and Uranus, about 0.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Mercury and Neptune. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waxing crescent to first quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 31 July, among them J. K. Rowling, Louis de Funès and Richard Griffiths.

Carlos Marchena’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 7° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Carlos Marchena that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 15:45, then Scorpio (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 15:45: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Carlos, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
Born after about 15:45: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Carlos that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
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 Seville, Spain, at each hour of the day.
Carlos Marchena’s rising sign, by birth time

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 31 July 1979, computed for Seville, Spain.

Carlos Marchena’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Carlos Marchena’s private life.
Purpose for Carlos Marchena is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
Moon in Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 15:45, then Scorpio
needs and habits
Born before about 15:45: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Carlos's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
Born after about 15:45: Moon in Scorpio
For Carlos, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
Mercury in Leo gives Carlos a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make Carlos more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Carlos, 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.
With Mars in Gemini, Carlos is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Jupiter in Leo
17° Leo 11' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Carlos 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.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Carlos may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Scorpio
16° Scorpio 55' at midday
freedom, generational
Much of Carlos's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.
Neptune in Sagittarius
17° Sagittarius 57' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Carlos in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
16° Libra 45' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Carlos belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in Carlos Marchena’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 Uranus
about 0.3° 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 Carlos Marchena is a good one, and it does most when channelled into fewer, more deliberate moves that get to see the finish line.
Jupiter sextile Pluto
about 0.4° at midday
Meaningful growth without constant upheaval is what Jupiter sextile Pluto describes, with Carlos's sense of possibility and depth working in concert. The opportunities that matter tend to come at a manageable pace, not all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 0.5° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Carlos's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Jupiter trine Neptune
about 0.8° at midday
Optimism and imagination tend to flow together for Carlos, and what comes of it is an inspired, generous vision of what is possible. Hope and creativity tend to serve them well under this trine, especially when both are allowed to guide a project and neither is second-guessed.
Saturn sextile Uranus
about 4.6° at midday
Discipline and independence combine in this sextile to give Carlos a workable way of keeping a routine while leaving room to change it. The flexibility is quiet and sustainable, and it keeps a good habit from calcifying into an unquestioned rule.
Saturn square Neptune
about 5.7° at midday
Practical sense and idealism can pull against each other in this square, and for Carlos that may mean either an uninspired routine or a dream with no realistic plan behind it. The way through is to build the structure and protect the dream at the same time, without sacrificing one for the other.
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.
