Coolio’s birth chart
Born 1 August 1963, in Monessen, Pennsylvania. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Leo Sun · Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn
Coolio’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Coolio was born on Thursday, 1 August 1963, in Monessen, Pennsylvania. That made Coolio a Leo. The Moon was in Sagittarius until about 23:15 and in Capricorn afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Coolio died on 28 September 2022, aged 59. StarMap has no verified birth time for Coolio, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in fire signs, two in earth, two in air and one in water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, five and two. Leo holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Venus. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Jupiter and Saturn, about 1.2° 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: Saturn. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 1 August, among them Jason Momoa, Yves Saint Laurent and Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Coolio’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 8° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Coolio that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Sagittarius or Capricorn
Sagittarius until about 23:15, then Capricorn (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 23:15: Moon in Sagittarius
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Coolio, 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.
Born after about 23:15: Moon in Capricorn
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Coolio may hold themselves together for other people, and can be hard on themselves when they cannot. This Moon tends to be restored by accomplishment, by structure, and by the rare person allowed to see them tired.
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 Monessen, Pennsylvania, at each hour of the day.
Coolio’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Coolio 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 1 August 1963, computed for Monessen, Pennsylvania.

Coolio’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Coolio’s private life.
Purpose for Coolio is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.

Sagittarius until about 23:15, then Capricorn
needs and habits
Born before about 23:15: Moon in Sagittarius
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 Coolio edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Born after about 23:15: Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn, Coolio's comfort probably comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave them oddly unsettled even on holiday. Harder feelings tend to be kept for when they are alone. Before rest is allowed there is usually one more thing to tidy, organise or finish.
Mercury in Leo gives Coolio 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 Coolio more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Coolio, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
In Coolio'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 Aries
19° Aries 22' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Coolio'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.
With Saturn in Aquarius, Coolio's discipline probably gathers around belonging to a group on their own terms; it is the placement of the one-time outsider. The doubt means holding back the stranger ideas until there is no risk of mockery. The outsider often ends up as a trusted voice in exactly the kind of community that once seemed unlikely to accept them.
Uranus in Virgo
3° Virgo 57' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus takes about seven years to cross a sign, so in Coolio's chart Uranus in Virgo describes an age group as much as a single person. It is a generation that changes how work and daily routine are done, through new methods and new technology. In one person it can be an instinct to question inherited routines.
Neptune in Scorpio
12° Scorpio 53' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Coolio shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
10° Virgo 45' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Coolio and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Coolio’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 sextile Saturn
about 1.2° at midday
A workable, grounded kind of optimism comes from this sextile, in which Coolio's sense of possibility and sense of structure assist each other. The plans they make tend to hold together, even under the sort of pressure that scatters looser ones.
Venus sextile Mars
about 2.4° at midday
A sextile between Venus and Mars tends to let Coolio 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.
Sun square Neptune
about 4.2° at midday
A Sun-Neptune square can blur Coolio'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.
Sun sextile Mars
about 5.3° at midday
Coolio's identity and energy work together, giving them an easy confidence that is there when they decide to use it. With this aspect, taking the initiative comes more naturally than might be expected, especially when the stakes are theirs to own.
Mercury opposition Saturn
about 6.5° at midday
Under Mercury opposite Saturn, a doubt can creep into Coolio's thinking about whether it is good enough to share. Speaking the imperfect version out loud matters more than waiting for the polished one.
Mercury conjunction Uranus
about 6.8° at midday
Coolio's thinking is likely to be quick, original and a step ahead of convention, with insights that arrive suddenly rather than through slow reasoning. Mercury conjunct Uranus makes for inventive thinking, and the courtesy worth learning is explaining the leap so that other people can follow it too.
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.
