Chad Michael Murray’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Chad Michael Murray was born in Buffalo, New York, on 24 August 1981, a Monday. The Sun was in Virgo, so Virgo is their zodiac sign. The Moon changed sign at about 14:15, from Gemini to Cancer; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Chad turns 45 in 2026. 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 air, two earth, two water and one fire, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Cardinal signs hold five, mutable signs three and fixed signs one. Four planets stand together in Libra: Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. The tightest aspect is Neptune sextile Pluto, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Neptune. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 24 August, among them Paulo Coelho, Rupert Grint and Jean-Michel Jarre. Wikidata links Chad with one person in the dataset: Sophia Bush (married in 2005, marriage ended in 2006).

Chad Michael Murray’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo
about 1° Virgo at midday
A Virgo Sun refines. Chad Michael Murray is likely to notice what could be better and quietly make it so, keeping the highest standards for themselves. The art of this placement is knowing when good enough is the wiser choice.
Moon sign
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 14:15, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 14:15: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Chad, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
Born after about 14:15: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Chad 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 Buffalo, New York, at each hour of the day.
Chad Michael Murray’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Chad 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 24 August 1981, computed for Buffalo, New York.

Chad Michael Murray’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Chad Michael Murray’s private life.
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Chad Michael Murray's energy tends to stay steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. Rest is the hard part, because it can feel undeserved until everything is fixed. Typically a piece of work is still being adjusted long after everyone else would call it finished.
Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 14:15, then Cancer
needs and habits
Born before about 14:15: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Chad is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
Born after about 14:15: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Chad'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.
For Chad, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Chad 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. Chad may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.
Mars in Cancer acts to protect the people and things that matter, and its anger is usually about feeling hurt more than feeling wronged. The habit to watch, for Chad, may be going quiet or indirect instead of naming the upset. Other people tend to notice a shift of mood and take a while to trace it back to its cause.
Jupiter in Libra
10° Libra 14' at midday
growth and excess
In Chad's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
For Chad, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.
Uranus in Scorpio
26° Scorpio 13' at midday
freedom, generational
Much of Chad'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
22° Sagittarius 06' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Chad in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
22° Libra 19' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Chad 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 Chad Michael Murray’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.
Venus conjunction Saturn
about 0.6° at midday
Venus conjunct Saturn describes a serious, committed way of loving, and Chad Michael Murray is likely to treat a relationship as something to build, not simply to enjoy. Loyalty comes with it. So does the harder task of trusting that affection can be deserved before it has been worked for.
Mars trine Uranus
about 1.6° at midday
Chad'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.
Mars square Pluto
about 2.3° at midday
With Mars square Pluto, Chad's drive can turn into a fight for control, whether the opponent is within them or is someone who resists them. When they redirect that intensity into the work itself, the friction becomes lasting strength.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn
about 2.4° at midday
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Chad's optimism tends to come with a realistic plan attached. It is an effective combination for building things that last, with vision balanced by the patience to see it through.
Venus conjunction Jupiter
about 3.0° at midday
Venus conjunct Jupiter tends to make Chad's capacity for love and pleasure generous and expansive, and it usually comes with a warm enjoyment of life. The result is naturally good company; the thing to watch is the point where generosity has quietly become excess.
Sun square Uranus
about 5.2° at midday
When the Sun is square Uranus, Chad'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.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it 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?
