Craig David’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Craig David was born in Southampton, England, on 5 May 1981, a Tuesday. The Sun was in Taurus, so Taurus is their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Taurus until about 07:00 and in Gemini afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Craig turns 45 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Craig; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is four earth, three air, one fire and one water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, five and one. Four planets stand together in Taurus: Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Libra holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Venus: a conjunction, about 1.8° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 15 other people born on 5 May, among them Adele, Henry Cavill and Chris Brown.

Craig David’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 14° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Craig David than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 07:00, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 07:00: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Craig, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 07:00: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Craig, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
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 Southampton, England, at each hour of the day.
Craig David’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Craig 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 5 May 1981, computed for Southampton, England.

Craig David’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Craig David’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Craig David's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.

Taurus until about 07:00, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 07:00: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Craig more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Born after about 07:00: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Craig is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
With Mercury in Taurus, Craig is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.
Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Craig's chart it is likely to value loyalty and things built to last. Because change feels like loss, this Venus can hold on to a relationship past its natural end. Months in, people with this placement tend to remember exactly how someone takes their coffee.
Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times Craig may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.
Jupiter in Libra
1° Libra 11' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Craig's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
For Craig, 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 Scorpio
28° Scorpio 40' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Much of Craig's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.
Neptune in Sagittarius
24° Sagittarius 27' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Craig in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
22° Libra 21' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Craig belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in Craig David’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.
Mercury conjunction Venus
about 1.8° at midday
Mercury conjunct Venus ties Craig David's thinking closely to what they love, so they probably talk about affection and beauty with ease. It lends a diplomatic, pleasant way of putting things, especially when the subject is close to the heart.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
about 2.5° at midday
This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so Craig 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.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn
about 2.6° at midday
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Craig'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 Uranus
about 4.7° at midday
With Mercury opposite Uranus, Craig's unconventional ideas meet other people's fixed positions, which can turn a good insight into an unnecessary standoff. Presenting the idea as an option rather than a challenge tends to land better.
Venus opposition Uranus
about 6.5° at midday
Craig may want intimacy and still feel a reflex to protect their freedom the moment things seem too certain; that is the tension of Venus opposite Uranus. Naming the need for space early tends to work better than acting on it as sudden distance.
Jupiter square Neptune
about 6.7° at midday
Jupiter square Neptune lets optimism drift into wishful thinking, and plans can end up built more on hope than on a clear reading of the situation. For Craig the answer may be to keep hoping and to pair that hope with an honest look at the details.
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?
