Chris Cooper’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Chris Cooper was born on Monday, 9 July 1951, in Kansas City, Missouri. That makes Chris a Cancer, with the Moon in Virgo. Chris turns 75 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Chris; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the ten planets, three are in fire signs, three in earth, three in water and one in air. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is five, two and three. Sun, Mars and Uranus all fall in Cancer. Three planets stand together in Virgo: Moon, Venus and Saturn. Closest of the aspects is the square between Sun and Neptune, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. No planet was retrograde. The Moon was a waxing crescent.

Chris Cooper’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
about 16° Cancer at midday
A Cancer Sun protects. For Chris Cooper, home, memory and the people they have decided are theirs tend to sit at the centre of things, and they probably read a room before anyone speaks. Care is the strength of this Sun, and their task is to include themselves in it.
Moon sign
Virgo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Chris 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 Kansas City, Missouri, at each hour of the day.
Chris Cooper’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Chris 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 July 1951, computed for Kansas City, Missouri.

Chris Cooper’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Chris Cooper’s private life.
With the Sun in Cancer, Chris Cooper is likely to feel most alive when caring for people and places that matter to them, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. Feeling unneeded is the sore spot for this placement, and it can be taken personally. The whole day may go better after checking in on someone they love.
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Chris's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Chris's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Mercury in Leo gives Chris 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 Chris more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
With Venus in Virgo, Chris is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
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 Chris, 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 Aries
13° Aries 07' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Chris's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Chris 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 Cancer
10° Cancer 07' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Chris 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
16° Libra 47' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Chris 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
18° Leo 28' 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 Chris, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Chris Cooper’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 Neptune
about 0.1° at midday
A Sun-Neptune square can blur Chris Cooper's sense of who they are under the pull of an ideal, a cause or someone else's story, until it is unclear where they end and the dream begins. The task is staying inspired without losing their own outline.
Venus sextile Mars
about 2.6° at midday
A sextile between Venus and Mars tends to let Chris go after what they like without much inner conflict, because affection and drive are pulling the same way. It is a pleasant, workable confidence, at its most useful in the early stages of anything new.
Jupiter square Uranus
about 3.0° 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 Chris is a good one, and it does most when channelled into fewer, more deliberate moves that get to see the finish line.
Sun square Jupiter
about 3.5° at midday
Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect Chris may promise more than can be delivered and then walk it back. The lesson of a Sun-Jupiter square is scaling a good instinct to a size that holds.
Jupiter opposition Neptune
about 3.7° at midday
The choice, as this opposition frames it for Chris, is between pursuing a real opportunity and getting lost chasing an idealised version that does not quite exist. Testing an exciting idea against the plain facts protects the optimism; it does not undermine it.
Jupiter trine Pluto
about 5.3° at midday
In this trine, Chris's optimism and capacity for transformation feed each other, and the combination can give them the power to turn a big vision into lasting change. The growth it brings tends to be deep as well as broad, which is why the bigger changes usually stick.
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.

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?
