Dalida’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Dalida was born in Shobra, Egypt, on 17 January 1933, a Tuesday. Their zodiac sign was Capricorn. The Moon changed sign at about 06:05, from Virgo to Libra; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Dalida died on 3 May 1987, aged 54. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.

Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, six are in earth signs, one in fire, one in air and one in water. By modality the count is five cardinal, three mutable and one fixed. Three planets stand together in Capricorn: Sun, Mercury and Venus. Three planets stand together in Virgo: Mars, Jupiter and Neptune. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Jupiter and Pluto, about 0.9° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.

StarMap's dataset holds 26 other people born on 17 January, among them Muhammad Ali, Jim Carrey and Betty White. Wikidata links Dalida with one person in the dataset: Alain Delon (listed as partners in 1962).

Dalida’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Capricorn

about 26° Capricorn at midday

A Capricorn Sun endures. Ambition, patience and a dry sense of humour are what tend to carry Dalida up long slopes other people give up on. The placement learns, eventually, that rest is part of the climb.

Moon sign

Virgo or Libra

Virgo until about 06:05, then Libra (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 06:05: Moon in Virgo

A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Dalida is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.

Born after about 06:05: Moon in Libra

A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Dalida, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.

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 Shobra, Egypt, at each hour of the day.

Dalida’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Dalida 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 17 January 1933, computed for Shobra, Egypt.

Dalida’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Dalida’s private life.

  1. Sun in Capricorn

    26° Capricorn 52' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    With the Sun in Capricorn, Dalida is likely to find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast them, with a vitality that is steady rather than showy. The trap can be measuring their worth by output alone. They may well work through tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.

  2. Moon in Virgo or Libra

    Virgo until about 06:05, then Libra

    needs and habits

    Born before about 06:05: Moon in Virgo

    The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Dalida's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Dalida's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.

    Born after about 06:05: Moon in Libra

    A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Dalida's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn

    13° Capricorn 21' at midday

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Dalida tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Dalida will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.

  4. Venus in Capricorn

    3° Capricorn 44' at midday

    love and values

    For Dalida, Venus in Capricorn means loving in a measured, committed way and valuing stability, ambition and someone to build a life with. The trap is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. With this Venus, love comes out more easily as providing and planning than as words said out loud.

  5. Mars in Virgo

    20° Virgo 12' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Dalida is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo

    23° Virgo 07' at midday ℞

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For Dalida, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius

    5° Aquarius 56' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    With Saturn in Aquarius, Dalida'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.

  8. Uranus in Aries

    19° Aries 36' at midday

    freedom, generational

    Uranus spends about seven years in each sign, so Dalida shares Uranus in Aries with many people of a similar age. It marks a generation that pushes for change through direct, individual action rather than waiting for permission. In one life it can appear as impatience with the slow-moving institutions older generations built.

  9. Neptune in Virgo

    9° Virgo 50' at midday ℞

    imagination, generational

    Neptune moves slowly, so Dalida 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.

  10. Pluto in Cancer

    22° Cancer 15' at midday ℞

    power, generational

    Pluto in Cancer dates Dalida 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 Dalida’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.

  1. Jupiter sextile Pluto

    about 0.9° at midday

    Meaningful growth without constant upheaval is what Jupiter sextile Pluto describes, with Dalida's sense of possibility and depth working in concert. The opportunities that matter tend to come at a manageable pace, not all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.

  2. Mars sextile Pluto

    about 2.1° at midday

    This sextile joins drive to depth, so resilience and follow-through are likely to be available to Dalida without constant conflict. Dalida 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.

  3. Mars conjunction Jupiter

    about 2.9° at midday

    Mars conjunct Jupiter lends Dalida's drive a bold confidence, and they tend to act on a big goal before doubt has a chance to catch up. Momentum is the gift here; pacing is the skill, so that the energy lasts beyond the first burst of enthusiasm.

  4. Mercury trine Neptune

    about 3.5° at midday

    Dalida probably has a natural gift for metaphor, storytelling and intuitive leaps, the work of thinking and imagination in easy partnership. With Mercury trine Neptune, communicating something hard to put into words comes easily, in a way that other people often find memorable.

  5. Sun trine Jupiter

    about 3.7° at midday

    With the Sun trine Jupiter, Dalida's sense of self and instinct for growth support each other, which gives them a warm, expansive confidence. They are likely to be quick to see an opening and to make the most of it without forcing anything.

  6. Sun opposition Pluto

    about 4.6° at midday

    The Sun opposite Pluto sets plain self-assertion against the draw of power struggles with people who seem to threaten Dalida's sense of control. Working through it leaves Dalida with a strength that has no need to prove itself.

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?
