Chow Yun-fat’s birth chart

Chow Yun-fat's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Taurus

   ♉ 26° Taurus 24'

   purpose and vitality

   They find purpose in building something that lasts, and their vitality runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The tension is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. It shows up in how long they stay at one job or one home before they will admit it is time to move.

2. ☽Moon in Aries

   ♈ 4° Aries 29'

   needs and habits

   Their day to day needs are simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. Comfort comes from action rather than discussion. It shows up as pacing the room or going for a walk instead of sitting with a feeling until it passes on its own.

3. ☿Mercury in Gemini

   ♊ 18° Gemini 12'

   mind and voice

   Their mind moves fast across many subjects at once, and they communicate easily in almost any setting. The tension is skimming the surface of a topic and moving on before they have gone deep enough to be sure of it. It shows up as knowing a little about a great many things.

4. ♀Venus in Aries

   ♈ 28° Aries 15'

   love and values

   They love with immediacy and pursue what they want without much hesitation, and they value a partner who can keep up. The tension is losing interest once the chase is over. It shows up as falling for someone fast and needing the relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.

5. ♂Mars in Gemini

   ♊ 24° Gemini 48'

   drive and anger

   They act through words, argument and quick maneuvering rather than force, and their anger tends to come out sharp and verbal. The tension is winning a point without actually resolving the conflict underneath it. It shows up as debating their way through a disagreement long after the other person just wants it to end.

6. ♃Jupiter in Cancer

   ♋ 25° Cancer 22'

   growth and excess

   They grow through nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The overreach is overprotecting the people they love past the point they need it. It shows up as generosity that shows up as home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.

7. ♄Saturn in Scorpio

   ♏ 17° Scorpio 12' ℞

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around trust and control, often shaped by an early loss of something they could not get back. The doubt shows up as bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given they no real reason to. It shows up as an eventual, hard-earned comfort with vulnerability that most people around they never see they struggle for.

8. ♅Uranus in Cancer

   ♋ 24° Cancer 31'

   freedom, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures their own parents grew up inside. Personally, it can show up as a pull to build family life differently.

9. ♆Neptune in Libra

   ♎ 26° Libra 05' ℞

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by media images of love that outpace real relationships. Personally, it can show up as a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.

10. ♇Pluto in Leo

    ♌ 24° Leo 19'

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. Personally, it can show up as a charged relationship with authority and who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects

How the planets in Chow Yun-fat's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Mars sextile Pluto

   0.5° separating

   Their drive and their depth cooperate, giving they acces to real resilience and follow-through without constant conflict. They handle pressure better than most, and it costs they les than expected, largely because they rarely need a fight to prove the point.

2. Jupiter square Neptune

   0.7° applying

   Their optimism can drift into wishful thinking, leading to plans built more on hope than on a clear read of the situation. The lesson is pairing genuine faith with an honest look at the details.

3. Jupiter conjunction Uranus

   0.9° separating

   Their sense of growth is sudden and unconventional, and Chow is drawn to opportunities that break from the expected path. This gives they real openness to change, and the edge is following through on a bold idea rather than moving on to the next one too soon.

4. Sun sextile Jupiter

   1.0° separating

   Their identity and their sense of possibility work together nicely, opening doors when Chow is willing to walk through them. A little deliberate effort turns this natural optimism into real momentum that carries past the initial burst of enthusiasm.
