Christopher Reeve’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Christopher Reeve was born in New York City, New York, on 25 September 1952, a Thursday. The Sun was in Libra, so Libra was their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Christopher died on 10 October 2004, aged 52. No verified birth time is on file for Christopher; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Air carries the most weight: five of the ten planets, against fire three, earth one and water one. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is six, two and two. Libra holds a stellium, five planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Mercury: a conjunction, about 0.9° 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: Jupiter. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waxing crescent to first quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 26 other people born on 25 September, among them Will Smith, Dmitri Shostakovich and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Christopher Reeve’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 2° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Christopher Reeve's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.
Moon sign
Sagittarius
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Christopher, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
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 New York City, New York, at each hour of the day.
Christopher Reeve’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 25 September 1952, computed for New York City, New York.

Christopher Reeve’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Christopher Reeve’s private life.
Sun in Libra
2° Libra 30' at midday
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Libra, Christopher Reeve's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.
Moon in Sagittarius
Sagittarius, all day
needs and habits
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Christopher edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Mercury in Libra
3° Libra 23' at midday
mind and voice
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Christopher tends to communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. Settling on an opinion can take so long that the moment for it passes. They may change their mind in the middle of a conversation because the other point had merit.
Venus in Libra
27° Libra 27' at midday
love and values
Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Christopher 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. Christopher may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.
Mars in Sagittarius
18° Sagittarius 30' at midday
drive and anger
Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Christopher may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.
Jupiter in Taurus
20° Taurus 34' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Christopher's chart, Jupiter in Taurus grows through patience, and what it builds tends to come together slowly and steadily rather than in one leap. Taken too far, that can become excess: holding on to more comfort or more stuff than serves them. They are probably generous with food, gifts and shared pleasures, and now and then generosity tips into indulgence.
Saturn in Libra
16° Libra 02' at midday
discipline and doubt
For Christopher, 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 Cancer
18° Cancer 09' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Christopher 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
20° Libra 44' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Christopher 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
22° Leo 26' 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 Christopher, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Christopher Reeve’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 conjunction Mercury
about 0.9° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Christopher Reeve'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 square Pluto
about 1.9° at midday
Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Christopher's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.
Saturn square Uranus
about 2.1° at midday
The need for stability and the need for freedom can clash in Christopher's chart, producing either rigid routines that eventually snap or sudden breaks from commitments that were meant sincerely. Saturn square Uranus is best answered with structure loose enough to bend before it has to break.
Mars sextile Neptune
about 2.2° at midday
In Christopher'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.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
about 2.4° at midday
This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so Christopher 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 sextile Saturn
about 2.5° at midday
Sustained effort feels manageable, not draining, when Mars and Saturn are in sextile, and Christopher has that combination of drive and discipline. What results is quiet, dependable follow-through, the kind that gets a long project finished while flashier approaches give out halfway.
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.

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?
