Dario Fo’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
24 March 1926 was a Wednesday: the day Dario Fo was born in Sangiano, Italy. That made Dario an Aries, with the Moon in Leo and Cancer rising. Dario died on 13 October 2016, aged 90. The birth time, 12:25, comes from Astro-Databank with a Rodden rating of AA, which means it was quoted from a birth certificate or birth record.
Of the ten planets, four are in fire signs, three in air and three in water; none is in earth. Fixed signs hold six, cardinal signs three and mutable signs one. Aquarius holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Venus, Mars and Jupiter. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Saturn and Uranus: a trine, 0.1° from exact. Mercury, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.

Dario Fo’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries
3° Aries 04'
An Aries Sun starts things. For Dario Fo that points to energy that is direct and impatient with delay, and to feeling most like themselves when there is something to go first at. The work of this placement is finishing what the spark began.
Moon sign
Leo
8° Leo 45'
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Dario up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
Rising sign
Cancer
23° Cancer 08'
With Cancer rising, Dario tends to come across as approachable and a little guarded. People often confide in a Cancer rising early and find that they are noticed in return; the shell opens on its own schedule.

Dario Fo’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Dario Fo’s private life.
Sun in Aries
3° Aries 04' · tenth house
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Aries, Dario Fo's sense of purpose tends to come alive when there is a clear start line. They probably feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though that energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. The typical pattern is a project launched with excitement, then handed off once the routine sets in.
The Sun in the tenth house ties Dario's sense of self to career and public standing, whether or not that is admitted plainly. The placement points to wanting a name attached to something visible and worth being proud of, and to a readiness to work at it for years.
Moon in Leo
8° Leo 45' · first house
needs and habits
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Dario faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Dario did.
The Moon in the first house tends to make Dario's moods visible almost immediately, so that how they feel colours how they come across before a single word has been said. Other people are apt to read that emotional weather quickly, sometimes before it has been named.
Mercury in Aries
14° Aries 12' ℞ · tenth house
mind and voice
Mercury in Aries suggests that Dario thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
With Mercury in the tenth house, Dario is apt to think strategically about reputation and the next move at work, and to turn a plan over privately long before anyone else knows it exists. Clear, well-timed communication may be the skill this placement leans on most.
Venus in Aquarius
19° Aquarius 58' · eighth house
love and values
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. Dario may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.
Venus in the eighth house wants intimacy that goes all the way down, not the kind that stays comfortably light, and Dario is inclined to build trust slowly and value it highly once it exists. The placement suggests that whatever Dario shares with someone means more when the bond behind it is solid.
Mars in Aquarius
0° Aquarius 55' · seventh house
drive and anger
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Dario can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Mars in the seventh house is associated with directness in close relationships, and Dario probably says what they think rather than letting things simmer. Mars here brings energy and frankness into partnership, so disagreements tend to be aired, not avoided.
Jupiter in Aquarius
17° Aquarius 35' · eighth house
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Dario may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Jupiter in the eighth house brings a quiet trust to intimacy and to whatever is held in common, and for Dario it suggests an expectation that things will be fair with the people closest to them. The placement goes with meeting deep change openly, not warily.
Saturn in Scorpio
25° Scorpio 47' ℞ · fifth house
discipline and doubt
Saturn in Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for Dario letting go of either is unlikely to come easily. The doubt is bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given no reason for it. Comfort with vulnerability can come in the end, and the work it takes is seldom seen by others.
Saturn in the fifth house can make self-expression and romance feel risky or quietly judged, so that for Dario playfulness is something to be practised rather than something that comes easily. Creative confidence is likely to be something grown into over time, arriving later than it does for most people.
Uranus in Pisces
25° Pisces 51' · ninth house
freedom, generational
Dario 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.
With Uranus in the ninth house, Dario may be drawn to unusual places and ideas that question the usual view of how things work. A single fixed philosophy rarely holds the interest of someone with this placement, who would rather keep updating a view of the world than settle it once and for all.
Neptune in Leo
22° Leo 24' ℞ · second house
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Dario 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.
Neptune in the second house holds material things loosely, and what Dario owns probably matters less to them than what it means. The placement leans towards intangible values, the kind that are hard to set out in a list and easier to recognise in practice.
Pluto in Cancer
12° Cancer 35' ℞ · twelfth house
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Dario 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.
Pluto in the twelfth house suggests a great deal going on beneath the surface for Dario, with growth coming from facing what is hidden within instead of avoiding it. Solitude can be the setting for the biggest changes, more than any single outside event.
Aspects in Dario Fo’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Saturn trine Uranus
0.1° separating
This trine lets Dario Fo build lasting structures that still leave room for change, because discipline and independence are allies here. Consistency and originality coexist with ease, and neither of them has to be given up to make room for the other.
Mercury square Pluto
1.6° applying
A simple disagreement can turn into something more charged when Mercury is square Pluto, as Dario looks for motives that may not be there. The lesson is trusting a straightforward answer when the evidence supports one, rather than assuming the deeper explanation is always the true one.
Sun sextile Mars
2.2° separating
Dario'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.
Venus conjunction Jupiter
2.4° separating
Venus conjunct Jupiter tends to make Dario's capacity for love and pleasure generous and expansive, and it usually comes with a warm enjoyment of life. The result is naturally good company; the thing to watch is the point where generosity has quietly become excess.
Venus opposition Neptune
2.4° applying
This opposition sets grounded affection against a tendency to idealise someone beyond anything that person has shown. For Dario, checking a relationship against plain facts protects the very tenderness that makes the pull so appealing.
Mercury sextile Jupiter
3.4° separating
Dario's thinking and optimism keep easy company, which gives their conversation a natural, engaging breadth. Curiosity does much of the work with this aspect, opening doors in conversation that a narrower focus would have missed.
