Cliff Richard’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Cliff Richard was born on Monday, 14 October 1940, in Lucknow, India. Their zodiac sign is Libra. The Moon was in Pisces until about 15:20 and in Aries afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Cliff turns 86 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Cliff, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Earth carries the most weight: five of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against air two, fire one and water one. By modality the count is five fixed, two cardinal and two mutable. Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus all fall in Taurus. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn, about 0.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds ten other people born on 14 October, among them Roger Moore, Usher and George Floyd.

Cliff Richard’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 20° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Cliff Richard'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
Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 15:20, then Aries (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 15:20: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, Cliff may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
Born after about 15:20: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Cliff is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
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 Lucknow, India, at each hour of the day.

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 14 October 1940, computed for Lucknow, India.

Cliff Richard’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Cliff Richard’s private life.
With the Sun in Libra, Cliff Richard'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 Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 15:20, then Aries
needs and habits
Born before about 15:20: Moon in Pisces
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Cliff more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Born after about 15:20: Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Cliff, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Cliff tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
With Venus in Virgo, Cliff 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.
In Cliff's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.
Jupiter in Taurus
13° Taurus 10' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Cliff'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 Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Cliff is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Taurus
25° Taurus 24' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Cliff shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.
Neptune in Virgo
26° Virgo 11' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Cliff shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Leo
4° Leo 14' 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 Cliff, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Cliff Richard’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 conjunction Saturn
about 0.3° at midday
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Cliff Richard'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.
Mercury opposition Jupiter
about 1.1° at midday
With Mercury opposite Jupiter, Cliff's own considered opinion has to compete with other people's big claims and grand theories, and it is easy to get swept into someone else's certainty. For Cliff, trusting their own careful thinking usually works better than borrowing that confidence.
Mars sextile Pluto
about 1.4° at midday
This sextile joins drive to depth, so resilience and follow-through are likely to be available to Cliff without constant conflict. Cliff is likely to handle pressure better than most, and at a lower cost than expected, largely because a fight is rarely needed to prove the point.
Mercury opposition Saturn
about 1.4° at midday
Under Mercury opposite Saturn, a doubt can creep into Cliff's thinking about whether it is good enough to share. Speaking the imperfect version out loud matters more than waiting for the polished one.
Venus trine Saturn
about 4.5° at midday
A steady, dependable way of loving, one that people trust, is what this trine gives Cliff, since affection and commitment hold each other up. Relationships built on it tend to last, often well past the point where less committed people would have moved on.
Venus trine Jupiter
about 4.8° at midday
Affection and a sense of plenty reinforce each other in Cliff's chart, and the result is a warm, easy generosity in relationships. With this trine, goodwill in love and friendship tends to be given freely and returned in kind, without much forcing on either side.
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.
