David Beckham’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
David Beckham was born on Friday, 2 May 1975, in London, England. The Sun was in Taurus, so Taurus is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Capricorn and Taurus rising. David turns 51 in 2026. The birth time, 06:17, comes from Astro-Databank with a Rodden rating of B, which means it was taken from a biography or autobiography.
Of the ten planets, three are in earth signs, three in air, two in fire and two in water. By modality the count is five cardinal, three mutable and two fixed. The tightest aspect is Moon square Uranus, 0.1° from exact. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.

David Beckham’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
11° Taurus 11'
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to David Beckham 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
Capricorn
29° Capricorn 51'
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, David may hold themselves together for other people, and can be hard on themselves when they cannot. This Moon tends to be restored by accomplishment, by structure, and by the rare person allowed to see them tired.
Rising sign
Taurus
27° Taurus 30'
With Taurus rising, the first impression of David is calm, grounded and unhurried. People tend to relax around them and to assume that someone so settled is not going anywhere.

David Beckham’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about David Beckham’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and David Beckham'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.
With the Sun in the twelfth house, David's identity may be quieter and more private than it looks from the outside, and solitude is probably where they recharge the parts of themselves that rarely get seen. The Sun here treats rest as the fuel the rest of life runs on, not as wasted time.
With the Moon in Capricorn, David's comfort probably comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave them oddly unsettled even on holiday. Harder feelings tend to be kept for when they are alone. Before rest is allowed there is usually one more thing to tidy, organise or finish.
With the Moon in the tenth house, David's emotional security may be tangled up with how work is going and whether it is respected. A setback at work can land harder on someone with this placement than it appears to from the outside.
With Mercury in Taurus, David 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.
In David's chart, Mercury in the twelfth house suggests a mind that works in the background, turning things over long before any conclusion rises to the surface. David may understand something by intuition well before they can explain, even to themselves, how they got there.
Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. David probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
With Venus in the second house, David has an eye for quality and comfort, and being surrounded by beautiful things probably matters more to them than an outsider would guess. David's taste leans towards pleasure, ease and things made well, over things that are merely practical.
With Mars in Pisces, David is likely to act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and anger can turn into sadness before it has even been named as anger. The habit is to absorb conflict rather than address it. Often they need to leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.
Mars in the eleventh house puts energy into friendships and causes, and David is often the one who gets a whole group moving. Friction in a group probably does not scare them off, and they would rather push through a disagreement than step around it.
Jupiter in Aries
10° Aries 32' · twelfth house
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. David's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.
David probably carries a quiet trust that things make sense, and solitude is apt to bring them insight rather than loneliness. With Jupiter in the twelfth house, that trust tends to hold even in the moments when the whole picture cannot yet be seen.
Emotional security is where David's Saturn in Cancer builds discipline; it is a placement often associated with learning early to be the steady one. Asking for care tends to be difficult with this Saturn, even when care is clearly needed. Over time, people with this placement often become the dependable anchor for others, including some who never quite return the favour.
In David's chart, Saturn sits in the third house, a placement associated with caution in speech: a sense of being unheard or over-careful with words, and a freedom to speak up that comes with deliberate practice. What they say often carries weight, because they choose their words with care.
Uranus in Libra
29° Libra 58' ℞ · sixth house
freedom, generational
David holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
With Uranus in the sixth house, David is often the inventive one at work, finding shortcuts or better systems that other people miss. A rigid, unchanging routine is apt to wear on David faster than on most, however sensible it looks.
Neptune in Sagittarius
11° Sagittarius 11' ℞ · seventh house
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to David in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Neptune in the seventh house can lead David to idealise a partner, blurring the line between the person who is there and the one who was hoped for. Disappointment can follow when reality does not match the dream, though compassion is apt to stay at the heart of how David loves.
Pluto in Libra
7° Libra 01' ℞ · sixth house
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation David 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.
Daily work gets David's full intensity, and a role or a routine is often transformed completely once they commit themselves to it. With Pluto in the sixth house, a job is hard to do by halves, so rest may be something David has to choose on purpose.
Aspects in David Beckham’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Moon square Uranus
0.1° separating
Needing people and needing independence can pull against each other under the Moon square Uranus, and the usual sign is a sudden withdrawal from an otherwise good relationship. Building in enough space from the start means David Beckham does not need to bolt for it later.
Jupiter trine Neptune
0.7° applying
Optimism and imagination tend to flow together for David, and what comes of it is an inspired, generous vision of what is possible. Hope and creativity tend to serve them well under this trine, especially when both are allowed to guide a project and neither is second-guessed.
Mars trine Saturn
1.5° separating
Staying power on long, difficult goals is what Mars trine Saturn offers, with drive and discipline reinforcing each other. David is likely to get more done, more consistently, than the visible effort would suggest, which is a quiet advantage over time.
Sun sextile Saturn
2.8° applying
Steady, unglamorous effort is likely to feel worthwhile to David rather than draining, because it fits their sense of who they are. Consistency probably comes more easily to them than they give themselves credit for, especially once they stop waiting for permission to claim it.
Jupiter square Saturn
3.5° applying
Enthusiasm for growth can run into limits here, whether practical or self-imposed, and to David it may feel as though ambition keeps outrunning the time and energy available. Jupiter square Saturn works best when the limit is treated as a pace-setter and not as a wall.
Jupiter opposition Pluto
3.5° separating
In this opposition, the urge to expand outward meets a need to control the process so tightly that it limits the very growth being sought. When David loosens their grip on the outcome, the opportunity itself tends to get through.
