David Coverdale’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
David Coverdale was born in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, England, on 22 September 1951, a Saturday. The Sun was in Virgo, so Virgo is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Gemini. David turns 75 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for David, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the ten planets, three are in fire signs, three in earth, three in air and one in water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, two and four. Virgo holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Venus. The tightest aspect is Mercury sextile Uranus, about 1.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Venus and Jupiter were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waning gibbous to last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 22 September, among them Andrea Bocelli, Thiago Silva and Tom Felton.

David Coverdale’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo
about 28° Virgo at midday
A Virgo Sun refines. David Coverdale is likely to notice what could be better and quietly make it so, keeping the highest standards for themselves. The art of this placement is knowing when good enough is the wiser choice.
Moon sign
Gemini
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For David, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
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 Saltburn-by-the-Sea, England, at each hour of the day.
David Coverdale’s rising sign, by birth time

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 22 September 1951, computed for Saltburn-by-the-Sea, England.

David Coverdale’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about David Coverdale’s private life.
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and David Coverdale's energy tends to stay steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. Rest is the hard part, because it can feel undeserved until everything is fixed. Typically a piece of work is still being adjusted long after everyone else would call it finished.
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and David is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
For David, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
With Venus in Virgo, David is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for David its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Aries
10° Aries 34' at midday ℞
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.
For David, 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
13° Cancer 38' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to David 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
18° Libra 29' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, David 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
20° Leo 40' 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 David, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in David Coverdale’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.
Mercury sextile Uranus
about 1.1° at midday
Fresh angles on ordinary problems come easily to David Coverdale, because thinking and originality are friends here. Inventiveness takes little effort with this aspect, and it makes routine problems more interesting than they first appear.
Mars conjunction Pluto
about 1.5° at midday
With Mars conjunct Pluto, drive tends to be intense and relentless, and once David is committed to something they are likely to see it through whatever the cost. There is staying power to spare, so the art is in choosing battles, and keeping that intensity away from the ones that do not deserve it.
Jupiter square Uranus
about 3.1° at midday
An appetite for growth can turn erratic under Jupiter square Uranus, with sudden changes of direction that leave earlier plans unfinished. The instinct for change this square gives David is a good one, and it does most when channelled into fewer, more deliberate moves that get to see the finish line.
Mars sextile Neptune
about 3.7° at midday
In David's chart, drive and imagination help each other along gently, so inspired action is possible before everything has been mapped out. The motivation is soft but workable, and it keeps a creative or compassionate project moving without forcing it.
Jupiter opposition Saturn
about 6.0° at midday
David is likely to feel two instincts at once: to expand into new opportunities, and to consolidate what is already in hand. Neither is wrong, and with Jupiter opposite Saturn a deliberate alternation between them tends to work better than treating it as a permanent choice.
Sun conjunction Saturn
about 6.0° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Saturn, identity is built through discipline and steady effort, often with an early sense that a place has to be worked for rather than assumed. It tends to make David reliable and serious, and the growth comes from believing that they have done enough to rest.
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?
