David Hasselhoff’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
about 24° Cancer at midday
A Cancer Sun protects. For David Hasselhoff, 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
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 Baltimore, Maryland, at each hour of the day.
David Hasselhoff’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for David 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 July 1952, computed for Baltimore, Maryland.

David Hasselhoff’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about David Hasselhoff’s private life.
With the Sun in Cancer, David Hasselhoff 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.
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.
Mercury in Leo gives David a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make David more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For David, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
In David's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.
Jupiter in Taurus
16° Taurus 33' at midday
growth and excess
In David's chart, Jupiter in Taurus grows through patience, and what it builds tends to come together slowly and steadily rather than in one leap. Taken too far, that can become excess: holding on to more comfort or more stuff than serves them. They are probably generous with food, gifts and shared pleasures, and now and then generosity tips into indulgence.
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
14° Cancer 53' 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
19° Libra 00' 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 21' 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 Hasselhoff’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 conjunction Pluto
about 1.2° at midday
David Hasselhoff's thinking is likely to be probing and intense, drawn to what lies underneath a surface explanation. With Mercury conjunct Pluto, getting to the bottom of things comes naturally, and the caution is not to assume a hidden motive where an ordinary one will do.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
about 1.7° at midday
This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so David can take up a fresh opportunity without much disruption. Think of it as innovation at low cost, the kind that improves something without first tearing it down.
Mercury sextile Neptune
about 2.5° at midday
David's thinking and imagination cooperate gently, so creative and intuitive ideas are within easy reach. The inventiveness is soft and pleasant rather than analytical, useful for easing a difficult conversation without losing the point of it.
Jupiter square Pluto
about 3.8° at midday
Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully David's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.
Mercury square Jupiter
about 5.0° at midday
Thinking can run ahead of the evidence when Mercury is square Jupiter, leading to overconfident claims or promises made faster than David can check them. Matching enthusiasm to what has been verified makes their confidence more durable, not less.
Saturn square Uranus
about 5.6° at midday
The need for stability and the need for freedom can clash in David'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.

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?
