Cyd Charisse’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
8 March 1922 was a Wednesday: the day Cyd Charisse was born in Amarillo, Texas. Their zodiac sign was Pisces, with the Moon in Cancer. Cyd died on 16 June 2008, aged 86. No verified birth time is on file for Cyd; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Water carries the most weight: five of the ten planets, against air three, fire two and earth none. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, two and four. Pisces holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Venus and Uranus. Closest of the aspects is the square between Mars and Uranus, about 1.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 14 other people born on 8 March, among them Hebe Camargo, Marjorie Estiano and Petra Kvitová.

Cyd Charisse’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 17° Pisces at midday
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make Cyd Charisse the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Cancer
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Cyd that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.
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 Amarillo, Texas, at each hour of the day.
Cyd Charisse’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Cyd 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 8 March 1922, computed for Amarillo, Texas.

Cyd Charisse’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Cyd Charisse’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Cyd Charisse's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.
With the Moon in Cancer, Cyd's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.
In Cyd's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Cyd probably values emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The temptation can be to idealise a partner before really seeing them. Generosity in relationships comes easily here, and so does missing the moment when giving starts to outweigh getting.
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. Cyd 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 Libra
17° Libra 09' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Cyd'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 Cyd, 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 Pisces
10° Pisces 02' at midday
freedom, generational
Cyd has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
13° Leo 44' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Cyd alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
7° Cancer 58' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Cyd to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Cyd Charisse’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.
Mars square Uranus
about 1.3° at midday
This square can make drive turn abrupt, leading to sudden decisions or breaks that surprise Cyd Charisse as much as they surprise everyone nearby. A brief pause before the impulsive move keeps the courage and loses the recklessness.
Saturn square Pluto
about 2.4° at midday
Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and Cyd may grip a structure most tightly at the very moment it needs to change. Each old form that is let go leaves a strength behind that is more real than the grip was.
Mercury trine Jupiter
about 3.1° at midday
Cyd's thinking and sense of possibility reinforce each other, which gives them an easy, optimistic way of connecting ideas. Learning and explaining come naturally with Mercury trine Jupiter, and a good explanation of theirs tends to stay with people long after the conversation ends.
Mars sextile Saturn
about 3.2° at midday
Sustained effort feels manageable, not draining, when Mars and Saturn are in sextile, and Cyd 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.
Jupiter sextile Neptune
about 3.4° at midday
Inspired ideas are within Cyd's reach without any loss of footing, since possibility and imagination are gently linked by this sextile. The optimism is soft and workable, useful for keeping a project hopeful without letting it drift far from what is real.
Mars trine Neptune
about 5.0° at midday
An inspired, almost effortless way of pursuing creative or compassionate goals belongs to Mars trine Neptune, which puts Cyd's drive and imagination in step. Energy and vision arrive together, so starting a meaningful project is likely to feel far less daunting than it looks from outside.
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?
