Cyndi Lauper’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Cyndi Lauper was born on Monday, 22 June 1953, in New York City, New York. The Sun was in Cancer, so Cancer is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Scorpio. Cyndi turns 73 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Cyndi, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Water carries the most weight: five of the ten planets, against air three, fire one and earth one. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is six, three and one. Cancer holds a stellium, four planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury, Mars and Uranus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Neptune and Pluto: a sextile, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Saturn and Neptune. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 22 June, among them Meryl Streep, Dan Brown and Billy Wilder.

Cyndi Lauper’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
about 0° Cancer at midday
A Cancer Sun protects. For Cyndi Lauper, home, memory and the people they have decided are theirs tend to sit at the centre of things, and they probably read a room before anyone speaks. Care is the strength of this Sun, and their task is to include themselves in it.
Moon sign
Scorpio
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Cyndi that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
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.

Cyndi Lauper’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Cyndi Lauper’s private life.
With the Sun in Cancer, Cyndi Lauper is likely to feel most alive when caring for people and places that matter to them, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. Feeling unneeded is the sore spot for this placement, and it can be taken personally. The whole day may go better after checking in on someone they love.
For Cyndi, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
Mercury in Cancer thinks in terms of memory and feeling as much as logic, and Cyndi probably communicates best when there is emotional trust in the room. Mood can colour how a fact gets delivered or received. Years after the details have faded, this is a mind that remembers exactly how a conversation felt.
Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Cyndi'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 Cancer acts to protect the people and things that matter, and its anger is usually about feeling hurt more than feeling wronged. The habit to watch, for Cyndi, may be going quiet or indirect instead of naming the upset. Other people tend to notice a shift of mood and take a while to trace it back to its cause.
Jupiter in Gemini
10° Gemini 14' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Gemini grows through learning and exposure to as many ideas as can be gathered, and its optimism is contagious in conversation. Cyndi may overreach by knowing a little about everything and claiming more certainty than the depth supports. This is someone who can be the best-read person in the room on subjects they have never studied closely.
For Cyndi, 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
17° Cancer 38' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Cyndi 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
21° Libra 07' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Cyndi 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
21° Leo 22' 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 Cyndi, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Cyndi Lauper’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.
Saturn conjunction Neptune
about 0.6° at midday
Cyndi Lauper tends to give a vague dream a workable shape, because Saturn conjunct Neptune ties discipline closely to imagination. It makes them unusually able to turn inspiration into something lasting, provided doubt is not allowed to talk them out of an idea before it has been tested.
Saturn sextile Pluto
about 0.8° at midday
No crisis is needed to bring out Cyndi's resilience, because discipline and depth are on working terms in this sextile. Long, steady effort tends to be rewarded in ways that build quietly over time, not all at once.
Venus sextile Uranus
about 2.4° at midday
An independent streak and a warm heart get along in this sextile, which tends to give Cyndi's relationships room to breathe without cooling them. The freedom involved is easy and low on drama: enough to keep a relationship interesting, never so much that it feels unstable.
Saturn square Uranus
about 2.9° at midday
The need for stability and the need for freedom can clash in Cyndi'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.
Mercury square Neptune
about 4.6° at midday
Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps Cyndi is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.
Sun conjunction Mars
about 4.8° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mars, Cyndi's will and identity are fused, which makes for strong, immediate drive and a low tolerance for sitting still. They probably act on impulse more often than most, and aiming that energy at a goal of their own serves them better than using it up on the first thing in front of them.
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?
